1. I am skilled at weeping, my eyes pouring forth tears
Beware of what has been or what is yet to come
١. وَإِنّي لَمُفنٍ دَمعَ عَينِيَ بِالبُكا
حِذارَ الَّذي قَد كانَ أَو هُوَ كائِنُ
2. And they said tomorrow or after that night
Parting with a beloved who did not bid farewell though he is gone
٢. وَقالوا غَداً أَو بَعدَ ذاكَ بِلَيلَةٍ
فِراقُ حَبيبٍ لَم يَبِن وَهوَ بائِنُ
3. And I had no fear that my death would be
By your hands except that what is destined comes to pass
٣. وَما كُنتُ أَخشى أَن تَكونَ مَنيَّتي
بِكَفَّيكِ إِلّا أَنَّ ما حانَ حائِنُ
