لهفي على رؤيا الحبيب وليتني

فارقت نفسي قبل يوم فراقه

My longing for seeing my beloved, I wish

I had parted with my soul before the day we parted

ودعته والدمع يجري بيننا

والقلب أربى الشوق في إحراقه

I bid him farewell with tears flowing between us

My heart burning with intense yearning

ورنا إلي بطرفه عند النوى

والوجه يزري الشمس في إشراقه

He glanced at me when we were about to part

His radiant face outshining the rising sun

سقياً لربع قد نشى فيه ولو

جار الظلوم علي في إطلاقه

To water a meadow where he had reveled, though

Injustice prevails, unrestrained in its onslaught
