1. أحِنُّ إليكُم والمَهامِهُ بَيْنَنَا

    حَنينَ أَلُوفٍ بانَ عنها قَرِينُها

    I yearn for you, though trackless wastes lie between us,

    with the yearning of an affectionate one whose mate has left her.

  2. وأَسْتُر أشْواقِي واعلَمُ أنّ لِي

    لَدَى ذِكرِكُم أنفاسَ وجْدٍ تُبينُها

    And I conceal my yearnings, yet I know I have

    sighs of passion that reveal them whenever you are mentioned.
