1. ألا يا نسيم الريح عرِّج مسلِّماً

    على ذلك الشخص البعيد الموَدِّعِ

    Ah, O breeze of the wind, turn aside in greeting

    To that distant figure bidding farewell.

  2. وهُبَّ على من شفَّ جِسمِي بِعادُه

    سَمُوماً بما استمليتَ مِن نارِ أضلعِي

    And blow upon the one whose absence has wasted my body,

    As a scorching wind, with what you have drawn from the fire within my ribs.

  3. فإن قال ما هذا الحرَورُ فقل له

    تنفُّسُ مشتاقٍ لوجهِك موجَعِ

    And if he says, 'What is this scorching heat?' then tell him:

    'The breath of one aching with longing for your face.'
