1. My eyes bid me weep till the end of time
And shed tears that flow and never tire
١. عَينُ اِئذَني بِبُكاءٍ آخِرَ الأَبَدِ
وَلا تَمَلّي عَلى قَرمٍ لَنا سَنَدِ
2. I complain of the intense longing that pains me
And the grief and sorrows that fill my heart
٢. أَشكو الَّذي بي مِنَ الوَجدِ الشَديدِ لَهُ
وَما بِقَلبي مِنَ الآلامِ وَالكَمَدِ
3. His father weeps for him, and his brothers too
Tears streaming down their cheeks evermore
٣. أَضحى أَبوهُ لَهُ يَبكي وَإِخوتُهُ
بِكُلِّ دَمعٍ عَلى الخَدَّينِ مُطَّرِدِ
4. Had he lived, he would have been a banner
For all the clans, as the soul is to the body
٤. لَو عاشَ كانَ لِفِهرٍ كُلِّها عَلَماً
إِذ كانَ مِنها مكانَ الروحِ لِلجَسَدِ
