1. مضت لي شهورٌ منذ غبتم ثلاثةٌ

    وما خلتني أبقى اذا غبتم شهرا

    Three months have passed for me since you went away.

    And I had not thought I would survive a month if you were gone.

  2. ومالي حياةٌ بعدكم أستلذها

    ولو كان هذا لم أكن في الهوى حرا

    And after you, I have no life that I can savor.

    And if I did, I would not be noble in love.

  3. ولم يسلني طولُ التنائي عليكمُ

    بل زادني وجداً وجدد لي ذكرا

    Nor has prolonged separation consoled me for your absence.

    Rather, it has increased my yearning and renewed my remembrance.

  4. يمثلكم لي طولُ شوقي إليكم

    ويدنيكمُ حتى أناجيكمُ سرا

    My enduring longing for you brings your image before me,

    And draws you near, until I whisper to you in secret.
