1. في دَوْلةِ وَصْلِ مُنيَتِي والهَجْرِ

    قد حُقَّ لذا وحَقِّ رَبِّي شُكْرِي

    In the reign of union with my heart's desire and of separation,

    My thanks for this are surely due—by my Lord!

  2. في الوصلِ حَلَتْ حياةُ نَفْسٍ وصَفَتْ

    والهجرُ به يُطِيلُ رَبِّي عُمْرِي

    In union, a soul's life grew sweet and clear;

    And through separation, my Lord prolongs my life.
