1. And if when her time of death drew near,
I could have ransomed her with my life,
١. وَلَو أَنَّني إِذ حانَ وَقتُ حِمامِها
أُحَكِّمُ في عُمري لَقاسَمتُها عُمري
2. Loss befell us both at the same hour-
I died, knowing naught, and she died, knowing naught.
٢. فَحَلَّ بِنا الفُقدانُ في ساعَةٍ مَعاً
فَمُتُّ وَلا تَدري وَماتَت وَلا أَدري
