1. يا خَليلَيَّ قَد مَلِلتُ ثَوائي

    بِالمُصَلِّ وَقَد شَنِئتُ البَقيعا

    O my two friends, I have grown weary of my stay

    At al-Musalla, and I have come to loathe al-Baqiʿ.

  2. بَلِّغاني دِيارَ هِندٍ وَسَلمى

    وَاِرجِعا بي فَقَد هَويتُ الرُجوعا

    Bring me to the dwellings of Hind and Salma,

    And take me back, for I long to return.
