لَقَد أَودى الفراق بِقَلب صَبٍّ

وَحَقّك لا يَزال أَخا شُجونِ

Separation has surely destroyed a steadfast heart

And your right, still remains a brother of sorrows

وَأَحرقه البعاد فَرحت أَتلو

كِتابَكَ إِذ تَلا يا نارُ كوني

And distance has burned it, so I began reciting

Your book, as fire recites, O my universe
