1. يا من هَواهُ على التّنا

    ئِي والتّدانِي في ازدْيادِ

    O you, love for whom, whether far

    or near, keeps growing,

  2. أصبحتُ مُغترِباً لبُعْ

    دِك بين أهلي في بِلاَدِي

    I have become a stranger because of

    your distance, among my family in my homeland,

  3. مستوحِشاً معَ كثرةِ ال

    خُلاّنِ وحْشَةَ ذِي انْفرادِ

    lonely despite the many

    friends, with the loneliness of one who is alone.

  4. وأقلُّ ما لا قيتُ بَعْ

    دَكَ من تَبارِيح البِعادِ

    And the least I have suffered since

    your departure, of the agonies of separation,

  5. شوقٌ إليك أباحَ فَيْ

    ضَ مَدامعِي وحمى رُقَادي

    is longing for you that has unleashed

    the flood of my tears and denied me sleep.
