1. قَد أَماتَ الهِجرانُ صِبيانُ قَلبي

    فَفُؤادي مُعَذَّبٌ في خِبال

    Estrangement has killed the children of my heart.

    And my heart is tormented in madness.

  2. كَسَرَ البَينُ لَوحَ كَبدي فَما أَط

    مَعَ مِمَّن هَوَيتَهُ في وِصال

    Separation broke my liver’s tablet; I no longer hope

    for union with the one I loved.

  3. رَفَعَ الرَقَمُ مِن حَياتي وَقَد أَط

    لَقَ مَولايَ حَبلَهُ مِن حِبالي

    The inscription has been removed from my life; already

    my master has released his cord from my cords.

  4. مَشقُ الحُبِّ في فُؤادي لَو حي

    نَ فَاِغرى جَوانِحي بِالسِلالِ

    Love traced two tablets within my heart,

    and afflicted my ribs with consumption.

  5. لاقَ قَلبي بَنانَه فَمَدادُ ال

    عَينِ مِن هَجرِ مالِكي في اِنهِمالِ

    My heart inked his fingertips; the ink of the

    eye pours down because my master has forsaken me.

  6. كَرَسفِ البَينِ سودُ الوَجهِ مِن وَص

    لي فَقَلبي بِالبَينِ في اِشعالِ

    Separation’s cotton blackened the face of

    my union; my heart blazes with separation.
