1. أَيُّها المُعرِضُ عَن أَحبابِهِ

    لَيسَ إِعراضُكَ شَيئاً هَيِّنا

    O you who turn away from your loved ones,

    your turning away is no small matter.

  2. عُد لِما أَعهَدُ مِن ذاكَ الرِضا

    لا يَراكَ اللَهُ إِلّا مُحسِنا

    Return to that goodwill I once knew;

    may God see you only doing good.

  3. لِيَ في قُربِكَ أَوفى راحَةٍ

    فَتَجَشَّم لِيَ في ذاكَ العَنا

    In your nearness lies my fullest comfort;

    so bear the trouble of it for my sake.

  4. إِنَّ عَيني تَتَمَنّى لَو رَأَت

    وَجهَكَ المُشرِقَ ذاكَ الحَسَنا

    Indeed, my eye longs to see

    that beautiful, radiant face of yours.

  5. كُن كَما أَطلُبُهُ في نِعمَةٍ

    وَالَّذي تَعهَدُ باقٍ بَينَنا

    Be in well-being, as I wish you to be;

    and what you have known still remains between us.
