1. أَيا مَن طَواهُ البُعدُ بَعدَما اِحتَوَت

    مَحَبَّتُهُ مِنّي عَلى الأَصلِ وَالفَرعِ

    O you whom distance has enfolded, after

    Love for you had encompassed me, root and branch.

  2. تُصَدِّق عَلى مِسكينِ طَرفي بِنَظرَةٍ

    إِلَيكَ وَلا تَترُكُهُ يَشحَتُ بِالدَمعِ

    Give my poor eye the charity of a glance

    At you, and do not leave it begging with tears.
