1. بَعدتُ عنكم بدارِى دونَ خالصتي

    ومحَضُ ودِّي وعهدِى كالّذي كانا

    I have moved away from you all to my house without my family

    My sincere love and promise are still the same as they were

  2. وما تبدّلتُ مذُ فارقتُ قُربَكُمُ

    إِلاَّ هُموماً أُعانيها وأحزانا

    I have not changed since I left your vicinity

    Except for worries and sorrows I suffer

  3. وهل يُسرُّ بِسكُنَى دارهِ أَحَدٌ

    وليسَ أَحبابُهُ لِلدارِ جيرانا

    Does anyone really enjoy living in his house

    When his loved ones are not his neighbors
