ومفارق ودّعت عند فراقه

ومفارق ودّعت عند فراقه

ودّعت صبري عنه في توديعه

ودّعت صبري عنه في توديعه

And one departing I bade farewell to at his parting;

I bade farewell to my patience without him as I bade him farewell.

ورأيت منه مثل لؤلؤ عقده

ورأيت منه مثل لؤلؤ عقده

من ثغره وحديثه ودموعه

من ثغره وحديثه ودموعه

And I saw from him the like of his necklace’s pearls,

From his mouth, his speech, and his tears.
