لَعَمرُكَ لَولا البَينِ لَاِنقَطَعَ الهَوى

لَعَمرُكَ لَولا البَينِ لَاِنقَطَعَ الهَوى

وَلَولا الهَوى ما حَنَّ لِلبَينِ آلِفُ

وَلَولا الهَوى ما حَنَّ لِلبَينِ آلِفُ

By your life, were it not for separation, love would surely cease.

By your life! Were it not for separation, love would cease

And were it not for love, no loving companion would pine at parting.

And were it not for love, none would grieve over separation
