أفديكَ قد برَحَ الجفا بي

أفديكَ قد برَحَ الجفا بي

وقَدْ وَهَتْ لِلْقِلى العِظام

وقَدْ وَهَتْ لِلْقِلى العِظام

I would give my life for you; estrangement has tormented me.

I will preserve you. The bitterness has left me.

And my bones have grown weak from aversion.

My bones have withered for isolation.

وجُلّ مقصودي التّلاقي

وجُلّ مقصودي التّلاقي

أستغفر الله والكلامُ

أستغفر الله والكلامُ

And my chief desire is meeting—

Most of my intention is to meet.

I ask God's forgiveness—and conversation.

I ask God's forgiveness, and here ends the poem.
