1. Parting is nothing new to me
We were born twins, though earth delivered me first
١. أَمّا الفِراقُ فَإِنَّهُ ما أَعهَدُ
هُوَ تَوأَمي لَو أَنَّ بَيناً يولَدُ
2. We know we must obey his will
Since we know we were not created to last
٢. وَلَقَد عَلِمنا أَنَّنا سَنُطيعُهُ
لَمّا عَلِمنا أَنَّنا لا نَخلِدُ
3. When the noble steeds carry us off
Away from you, how grudging must my departure be!
٣. وَإِذا الجِيادُ أَبا البَهِيِّ نَقَلنَنا
عَنكُم فَأَردَأُ ما رَكِبتُ الأَجوَدُ
4. He who blames parting: I am not
One who sees nothing in life worthy of praise
٤. مَن خَصَّ بِالذَمِّ الفِراقَ فَإِنَّني
مَن لا يَرى في الدَهرِ شَيئاً يُحمَدُ
