1. What I feared would happen came to pass
God bless the companionship of the two who departed
١. كانَ ما كُنتُ مُشفِقاً أَن يَكونا
أَحسَنَ اللَهُ صُحبَةَ الظاعِنينا
2. They left with the rising sun behind them
Leaving to me the daughters of a bier on my right
٢. اِستَقَلّوا وَراءَهُم مَطلَعَ الشَم
سِ وَخَلّوا بَناتِ نَعشٍ يَمينا
3. So they took away a heart melting with passion
And an eye that weeps, making other eyes weep
٣. فَاِستَهاموا قَلباً يَذوبُ مِن الشَو
قِ وَعَيناً تَبكي فَتُبكي العُيونا
