1. I am in intense grief and great sorrow
I have no more capacity for grief

2. By my father I took a breath of air
From his soft breath on Thursday, the wind of affection

3. My sin became like Adam's sin, oh 'Amr
So I was expelled from the gardens of eternity

4. I would ransom the slumber of eyelids, named
And surnamed with some of Abd al-Hamid
