1. And today my life among lives is perishing,
And today my soul from my body will be exiled.
١. وَاليَومَ عُمريَ في الأَعمارِ مُنقَضِبٌ
وَاليَوم رُوحِيَ عَن جِسمي سَيَغتَرِبُ
2. No group of them has wept at the departure in the morning
Until my innermost being for the moment began to weep.
٢. لَم يَنتَدِب جَمعُهُم لِلارتِحالِ ضُحىً
حَتّى غَدَت مُهجَتي لِلحينِ تَنتَدِبُ
