1. I heard my beloved
Singing as he went towards Ar-Rusafah

2. I went out dragging my skirt
Saying, what is wrong with him

3. When Hisham's daughters
Were mourning their father

4. Mourning an old man
Who used to support them

5. They were crying, "Woe and alas!"
And woe has befallen them

6. I am truly effeminate
If I don't console them
