هَل تَعرِفُ الدارَ وَالأَطلالَ وَالدِمَنا
زِدنَ الفُؤادَ عَلى عِلّاتِهِ حَزَنا
Do you know the house, the ruins, and the sand dunes
That increased my heart in its sorrows?
دارٌ لِأَسماءَ إِذ كانَت تَحَلُّ بِها
وَأَنتَ إِذ ذاكَ إِذ كانَت لَنا وَطَنا
A house for Asma, when she used to dwell in it
While you, at that time, were a homeland to us
لَم يُحبِبِ القَلبُ شَيئاً مِثلَ حُبُّكُمُ
وَلَم تَرَ العَينُ شَيئاً بَعدَكُم حَسَنا
My heart has never loved anything like loving you
And my eyes have never seen anything as beautiful as you after you
ما إِن أُبالي إِذا ما اللَهُ قَرَّبَكُم
مَن كانَ شَطَّ مِنَ الأَحبابِ أَو قَطَنا
I do not care if Allah brings you close
Whether one had yearned or settled
فَإِن نَأَيتُم أَصابَ القَلبُ نَأيُكُمُ
وَإِن دَنَت دارُكُم كُنتُم لَنا سَكَنا
For if you are distant, absence has struck my heart
And if your house comes near, you would be a dwelling for us
إِن تَبخَلي لا يُسَلّو القَلبَ بُخلُكُمُ
وَإِن تَجودي فَقَد عَنّيتِنا زَمَنا
If you withhold, your stinginess will not console my heart
And if you give generously, then you have granted us an era
أَمسى الفُؤادُ بِكُم يا هِندُ مُرتَهَناً
وَأَنتِ كُنتِ الهَوى وَالهَمَّ وَالوَسَنا
My heart has become hostage to you, oh Hind
While you were the love, anxiety, and intimacy
إِذ تَستَبيكَ بِمَصقولٍ عَوارِضُهُ
وَمُقلَتَي شادِنٍ لَم يَعدُ أَن شَدَنا
As you bid farewell in polished litter
And eyes of a gazelle that have never looked with languor
