1. Oh my regret for Sa'eed since he left me
And my yearning for the past of his company
١. يا حسرتي بسعيد منذ فارقني
ويا حنيني الى ما فات من أنسه
2. I cannot forget him, my palm under his nose
And the last I sensed of his soul
٢. فلست انسى وكفي تحت منخره
وكان آخر ما أحسست من نفسه
3. People fulfilled their duty at his funeral
While I had hoped they would fulfill it at his wedding
٣. وقد قضى الناس حقي في جنازته
وكنت آمل ان يقضوه في عرسه
