اذكر مَلاعِبَنا بِرَملَةِ حاجِرِ

حوشيتَ مِن شِيَمِ الخؤونِ المُغادِرِ

I remember our games on the sands of Hajir

You deserted the traits of intimacy

وَاِحفَظ عُهوداً بِالحِمى عاهَدتَني

أَيّامَ كُنتَ مُنادِمي وَمُسامِري

And pledged allegiances with restrictions after you covenanted me

The days when you were my boon companion and night-talk mate

آثارُ ذاكَ القُربِ بَينَ جَوانِحي

وَخَيال ذاكَ العَيشِ بَعدُ بِناظِري

The traces of that closeness between my feelings

And the phantom of that life afterwards in my sights

جوزيتُ مِنكَ عَلى التَصَبُّرِ في الهَوى

ما لَيس يُعهَدُ مِن جَزاءِ الصابِرِ

I hoped for patience from you in passion

What is not expected from the recompense of the patient

خَطَرَت بِقَلبي مِنكَ كُلِّ عَجيبَةٍ

إلّا فِراقَكَ لَم يَكُن في خاطِري

Every wonder has occurred to my heart from you

Except your separation, it had not been in my thoughts
