1. They wept for his departure on a false pretext
Oh, how I wonder what his day of parting was like
١. بَكَيا لِأَجلِ خُروجِهِ في زَورَةٍ
يا لَيتَ شِعري كَيفَ يَومُ فِراقِهِ
2. If only he had heard their weeping that day
His soul would have returned to him out of sympathy
٢. لَو كانَ يَسمَعُ يَومَذاكَ بُكاهُما
رُدَّت إِلَيهِ الروحُ مِن إِشفاقِهِ
