1. يا دارُ بِحَقِّ فُرقَةِ الإِلفَينِ

    العُذرُ إِليكِ مِن جُمودِ العَينِ

    O dwelling, by the sanctity of the two lovers' parting,

    I offer you my apology for the dryness of my eye.

  2. ما أَملِكُ عَبرَةً فَأبكيكِ بها

    أفنيتُ جميعَ الدَّمعِ يَومَ البَينِ

    I have no tear with which to weep for you;

    I exhausted all my tears on the day of parting.
