ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ قَطعْتَ لِطولِها

ثَلاثَ شَدَيداتٍ مِن السَّنَواتِ

Three days of longing seem as long

As three hard years of separation's throng

حَجَبْنَ مُحَيَّا الصَّاحِبِ ابنِ مُحمّدٍ

لِيجمَعَ بَيْنَ الحُسْنِ والحَسَناتِ

That hid the lovely face of my dear friend

Muhayya's son, of virtues without end
