1. My heart was stirred today as I recalled
And yearned for those who once gathered and dwelled
١. ألَجَّ فُؤادِي الْيَوْمَ فِيمَا تَذَكَّرَا
وَشَطَّتْ نَوَى مَنْ حَلَّ جَوَّا وَمَحْضَرَا
2. Among the living, when they were there and you could see
Your eyes seeking them out and beholding their sight
٢. مِنَ الْحَيّ إذْ كَانُوا هُنَاكَ وَإِذْ تَرَى
لَكَ الْعَيْنُ فِيهِمْ مُسْتَرَاداً وَمَنْظَرا
3. For the heart is naught but the memory of them-
Humble and lowly, brought to life by the people of Abhara
٣. وَمَا الْقَلْبُ إلاَّ ذِكْرُهُ حَارِثِيَّةً
خُوَاريَّةً يَحْيَى لَهَا أهْلُ أبهَرَا
