فؤاد أخي الحب المبرح لم يزل

يطير لكم شوقاً على القرب والبعد

My heart, my brother, its reckless love has not ceased

To fly to you, longing, whether far or near

ومذ جئت مصراً قد سمعت بأنكم

نزول بها وافيت اسأل عن كبدي

And since I came to Egypt I heard that you

Had come to stay, so I ask after my liver
