1. يا مَن شَغلتُ بهجره ووصاله

    هِمَمَ المُنَى ونسيت يوم مَعادي

    O you, with whose estrangement and union I have occupied

    My hopes and aspirations, and forgotten the day of my return.

  2. واللَه ما التقت الجفونُ بِطرفةٍ

    إلا وذكرك خاطِرٌ بفؤادي

    By God, my eyelids have never met in a blink

    Without your remembrance passing through my heart.
