1. ما لي نُسيتُ وَقَد نودي لِأَصحابي

    وَكُنتُ وَالذِكرُ عِندي رائِحٌ غادي

    Why have I been forgotten, though a call was made for my companions?

    And all the while, remembrance came and went within me, evening and morning.

  2. أَنا الَّتي لا أُطيقُ الدَهرَ فِرقَتَكُم

    فَرِقَّ لي يا أَخي مِن طولِ إِبعادِ

    I am she who can never bear separation from you.

    So have pity on me, my brother, for being kept away so long.
