تَذَكَّرتَ هِنداً وَأَعصارَها

وَلَم تَقضِ نَفسُكَ أَوطارَها

You recalled India and its storms

Yet your soul did not fulfill its days there

تَذَكَّرَتِ النَفسُ ما قَد مَضى

وَهاجَت عَلى العَينِ عُوّارَها

The soul recalled what had passed

And its tears welled up in the eyes

لِتَمنَحَ رامَةَ مِنّا الهَوى

وَتَرعى لِرامَةَ أَسرارَها

That you may grant Ramah love from us

And tend to Ramah’s secrets

إِذا لَم نَزُرها حِذارَ العِدى

حَسَدنا عَلى الزَورِ زُوّارَها

When we did not visit it, fearing harm

We envied its false visitors
