سيذكرني بعد الفراق أحبّتي

و يبقى من المرء الأحاديث و الذكر

My loved ones will remember me after the parting,

And all that remains of a man are stories and remembrance.

ورود الرّبى بعد الرّبيع بعيدة

و يدنيك منه قواريره العطر

The roses of the hills are distant after spring,

Yet its vials of perfume draw you near to it.
