1. The three nights of Saturday have become my parting gift
So I must bid them farewell, though I'm loath to repeat it
١. صَارَ الثُّلاثَا لِيَومِ السَّبْتِ أُفِّ علَى
حَظّي فَأُفِّ فَما حَقِّى أُرَدِدُهَا
2. Worry has distracted me from praising them; still I bid them adieu
He continues extinguishing the lamp he had lit for the night
٢. أَلْهَانَيَ الَهمُّ عَن نَعْتي وَأُفِّ بِها
مَازَالَ يُطْفِى سِرَاجَ اللَّيْلِ مُوقِدُهَا
