1. يُقَبِّلُ الأَرضَ وَيُنهي إِلى

    مالِكِهِ شِدَّةَ أَشواقِهِ

    He kisses the ground and conveys to

    his master the intensity of his longings.

  2. ما غَيَّرَ البُعدُ سِوى جِسمِهِ

    وَلَم يُغَيِّر صَفوَ أَخلاقِهِ

    Distance has changed nothing but his body,

    and has not changed the purity of his character.

  3. فَاِبكِ عَلى الصَبِّ الغَريبِ الَّذي

    قَد أَمسَكَ البَينُ بِأَطواقِهِ

    So weep for the lovesick stranger whom

    separation has seized by his collars.
