العيدُ أَتى وَمَن تَعَشَّقتُ بَعيد

ما أَصنَعُ بَعدَ مُنيَةِ القَلبِ بِعيدِ
The feast has come, and the one I love is far away.
The feast has come, and my beloved is far away
What use have I for a feast, apart from my heart’s desire?
What shall I do after my heart's demise when my love is far?

This is no life; rather, the one who lives at ease
Life is not this way, but those who live in comfort,
Is one who woos gazelles or consorts with graceful maidens.
Those who woo does or live with flowers
