ذَخِيرَةُ أَخْبارِ الجَزِيرَة قَدْ غَدَتْ

لَدَيَّ وَهَلْ مِثْلُ الذَّخِيرَةِ مِنْ ذُخْرِ

The store of news about the peninsula has now

Become abundant for me, and is there any store like it for hoarding?

فَقُلْ لابْنِ يَحْيَى قَدْ دَلَلْتَ عَلَى الّتي

هِيَ الشَّهْوَةُ الشَّهْواءُ للذّهْنِ والفِكْرِ

So say to the son of Yahya, you have pointed out her

Who is the passionate desire, the passionate for the mind and thought.

وقُلْ للّذِي يَهْوَى لِقاهَا تَصَبُّراً

ويا رُبّما يسْتَوْجَبُ الوَصْلُ بالصّبْرِ

And say to him who ardently desires to meet her, have patience,

And perhaps union will be deserved through patience.
