1. بَعدتُ عنكم بدارِى دونَ خالصتي

    ومحَضُ ودِّي وعهدِى كالّذي كانا

    I am far from you in my dwelling, but not in my devotion;

    And my pure affection and my pledge remain as they were.

  2. وما تبدّلتُ مذُ فارقتُ قُربَكُمُ

    إِلاَّ هُموماً أُعانيها وأحزانا

    And since I left your company, I have gained nothing in exchange

    Except worries I endure, and sorrows.

  3. وهل يُسرُّ بِسكُنَى دارهِ أَحَدٌ

    وليسَ أَحبابُهُ لِلدارِ جيرانا

    And can anyone be happy dwelling in his home

    When his loved ones are not its neighbors?
