مَنَعَ النَومَ ذِكرَةٌ

مِن حَبيبٍ مُفارِقِ

Sleeplessness kept me awake

With memories of a departed beloved

نازِحِ الدارِ عَن دِيا

رِكِ وَالقَلبُ شائِقي

Who left his home behind

While my heart still longs for him

سالِكاتٍ عَنِ البَلا

طِ سِراعِ النَواهِقِ

Travelers going away from home

Their tall, slender bodies swaying

فيهِمُ بَحتَرِيَّةٌ

مِثلُ عَينِ المُعانِقِ

Among them is Umm Khaled

Her tent pitched between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa

نَوِّلي أُمَّ خالِدٍ

قَبلَ بَينِ الصَفائِقِ

Indeed my heart finds relief

In nothing but thoughts of you

إِنَّ قَلبي إِخالُهُ

عَنكُمُ غَيرَ عائِقِ
