1. Oh sisters, farewell has come close
And a journey is near for us and departure

2. In one gathering we see life
When alone it's as if we are thieves

3. No human sees us in the wilderness
Except curtains upon us from the sanctuary

4. For you is God and the covenant we do not
Lie in what we say and the pact

5. But my heart is afflicted, oh two sisters
Wound upon it are the shackles

6. Two pearls from the depths of India, the wealth of
Syria is collected to them and Iraq

7. From them the sun rose on a dark day
So it lit up the horizons with its light

8. And a girl like the full moon inclining toward her
When eyes and necks appear

9. The kohl-lined eye is incapable of her
And the pleated, wrapped skirt

10. They won beauty and charm when
The Creator perfected the creation of them

11. Indeed my love for you two is plenty
My love for you is not little or scarce

12. May God extend your life oh Budayh, do you not
Know that I long for them
