لَقَد جُزتَ في الصَدِّ حَدَّ الزِيادَه

فَلا تَجعَلِ الهَجرَ خُلقاً وَعادَه

You have exceeded the limit in estrangement,

So do not make abandonment a habit.

فَعِندي اِشتِياقٌ شَديدٌ إِلَيكَ

وَقَلبُكَ يَشهَدُ هَذي الشَهادَه

I have an intense yearning for you,

And your heart testifies to this testimony.

وَعَوَّدتَني مِنكَ حُسنَ الوَدادِ

وَما يَطلُبُ القَلبُ إِلّا اِعتِيادَه

You have accustomed me to your affection,

And what the heart seeks is only its habit.

وَإِنّي عَهِدتُكَ نَجلَ الجِيادِ

لِذَلِكَ أَطلُبُ مِنكَ الإِجادَه

I knew you as the best of steeds,

So I ask you for excellence from you.

فَإِن أَنتَ أَتحَفتَني بِالحُضورِ

فَمِن أَينَ لِلعَبدِ هَذي السَعادَه

If you would gift me with your presence,

How could a servant attain such felicity?
