يا خَليلَيَّ عادَني اليَومَ سُقمي

فَبَرى دائُهُ لِحَينِيَ عَظمي

O my beloved, today my sickness has returned

And its severity has spread through my bones

لِمُصِرٍّ أَصَرَّ وَاِستَكبَرَ اليَو

مَ وَظَنَّ الصُدودَ لَيسَ بِظُلمِ

Because of one who insisted and became arrogant

And thought that being aloof was not an injustice

صَدَّ عَمداً فَباءَ إِذ صَدَّ عَنّي

يا خَليلي بِإِثمِهِ وَبِإِثمي

He purposefully turned away, so he failed when he turned away from me

O my beloved, because of his sin and because of my sin

إِن تَجودي أَو تَبخَلي فَبِحَمدٍ

أَنتِ مِن واصِلٍ لَنا لا تُذَمّي

Whether you are generous or stingy, it is still praiseworthy

You who joins us are flawless, do not blame me

أَو تَقولي ما زِلتَ في الشِعرِ حَتّى

بُحتَ لِلناسِ غَيرَ أَن لَم تُسَمِّ

Or you say, you have not stopped composing poetry

Until you have revealed yourself to people, though you were not named

فَالمَحَلُّ الَّذي حَلَلتِ بِهِ وَال

حُسنُ أَبدى عَلَيكَ ما كُنتُ أَكمي

So the abode in which you have resided and the

Eternal beauty upon you, I could not complete

بَيتُكِ البَيتُ تَسقُفينَ عَلَيهِ

وَعَلى صالِحِ الخَلائِقِ يَنمي

Your home is the home whose roof covers us

And grows upon the righteous of creations

أَنتِ في الجَوهَرِ المُهَذَّبِ مِن تَي

مٍ ذُرى المَجدِ بَينَ خالٍ وَعَمِّ

You are of the refined essence from a lineage

Of the progeny of glory between maternal and paternal uncles
