أَتُرى نُراحُ مِنَ الفِراقِ

يَوماً وَنَأخُذُ في التَلاقي

Do you think we will ever be at rest from parting,

And one day take to union and meeting again,

فَأَغُضُّ مِن جَزَعي وَأَم

حو الدَمعَ مِن بَينِ المَآقي

So I restrain my anguish and check my tears,

Holding back the drops from between the lids,

وَأَروحُ في ظَفَرِ القَوِيَّ

وَقَدِ اِنتَصَفتُ مِنَ الفِراقِ

And go exulting in the power of the Strong,

Now that I have avenged myself upon separation?
