1. يا قادِمِينَ ولو أُعْطِيْ البَشيرَ بِهمْ

    بَقِيَّةَ العُمرِ ما أنْصَفْتُ في الثَّمنِ

    O you who come! Even if I gave the bearer of glad tidings of them

    the rest of my life, I would not have paid a fair price.

  2. قَدْ كُنتُ أُعِتبُ دَهْرِي لَو فَرغتُ لهُ

    مِنْ شاغِلِ البَيْنِ أو مِنْ لاعِجِ الشَّجَنِ

    I would indeed have reproached my fate, had I been free

    from the cares of separation or the searing pain of sorrow.

  3. أما وقَدْ قَرَّبَ الرَّحْمنُ دارَكُمُ

    كَما أُحِبُّ فلا عَتْبٌ على الزَّمنِ

    But now that the All-Merciful has brought your home near,

    just as I wish, there is no reproach against time.
