1. مَن مُبلغُ النّائِي المقيمِ تَحيّةً

    مِن رَاحلٍ شَاكٍ جَوَى أشْوَاقِهِ

    Who will convey a greeting to the distant one who remains,

    From a traveler lamenting the burning anguish of his longings,

  2. لَهجٍ مع اليأْسِ المُبينِ بذكْرِه

    قَلقِ الحشَا لِبِعادِهِ خَفّاقِهِ

    Ever remembering him despite evident despair,

    Restless of heart, his heart fluttering at his absence?

  3. وهُو الخَلِيقُ بأن يَموتَ كآبةً

    لكنّ حُسنَ الصّبرِ من أخْلاقِه

    And he might well die of sorrow,

    But noble patience is part of his character.
