1. لَقَد عَرَضَ الوَداعُ فَباتَ قَلبي

    رَهينُ جَوىً لِبُعدَكَ وَالتياعِ

    Farewell has indeed come, and so my heart has become

    A captive of heartache and anguish at your absence.

  2. وَلَولا أَنَّني أَرجو قَريباً

    لِقاكَ لَما بَقيتُ إِلى الوَداعِ

    And were it not that I hoped soon

    To meet you, I would not have survived until farewell.
