1. Alas! if only we could live united in one place,
And let my bones decay where her bones decay,
١. أَلا لَيتَنا نَحيا جِميعاً بِبَلدَةٍ
وَتَبلَى عِظَامِى حَيثُ تَبلَى عِظامُها
2. We could be as past lovers were before us,
Separated in death, to be joined in their sorrow.
٢. نَكونُ كَما كانَ المُحِبُّونَ قَبلَنا
إِذا ماتَ مَوتاها تَعارَفَ هامُها
