1. يا عينُ في ساعةِ التّوديعِ يشغَلُكِ ال

    بكاءُ عن لذّةِ التّوديعِ والنّظرِ

    O eye, at the hour of farewell, you are distracted—

    by weeping—from the pleasure of farewell and gazing.

  2. خُذي بحظِّكِ منهم قَبل بينهمُ

    وبعدَهم فاجْهَدي في الدّمعِ والسّهَرِ

    Take your share of them before they part;

    And after they are gone, give your all to tears and sleeplessness.
