أَلا إِنَّ قَلبي مِن فِراقِ أَحِبَّتي

وَإِن كُنتُ لا أُبدي الصَبابَةَ جازِعُ

Alas! My heart is torn by separation from my loved ones

Though outwardly I show not my inner turmoil

وَدَمعِيَ بَينَ الحُزنِ وَالصَبرِ فاضِحي

وَسِتري عَنِ العُذّالِ عاصٍ وَطائع

My tears reveal the struggle between grief and patience

As I conceal my pain from the blamer and sympathizer alike
