يَا لَقْومٍ لِلزَّائِرِ المُجْتَازِ

زَارَ أَحْبَابَهُ عَلَى أَوْفَازِ

O people, for the passerby visitor

Who visited his loved ones at the peaks

زَارَ يَقْظَانَ مِثْلَ ما زَارَ فِي النَّوْ

مِ فَيَا فَرْحَتِي لَهُ واهْتِزَازِي

He visited while awake just as he did in sleep

Oh my joy for him and my trembling

لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ أَنْ دَنَا وَتَنَاءَى

عَنْكَ إِلاَّ زَمَانَ خَطْفَةِ بَازِي

Between when he approached and moved away from you

Was nothing but the time of a falcon's swoop
