The plot has severed the rope of that clan who bid you adieu, then never returned.

بت الخليط قوى الحبل الذي قطعوا

1. The plot has severed the rope of that clan who bid you adieu, then never returned.
And they gave you news of a clear estrangement.

١. بَتَّ الخَليطُ قوى الحَبلِ الَّذي قَطَعوا
إِذ وَدَّعوكَ فَوَلَّوا ثُمَّ ما رَجَعُوا

2. So you did not ask, nor will what they did console you.
O son of Tawil, how much goodness you have preferred for us.

٢. وَآذَنوكَ بِبَينٍ مِن وِصالِهِم
فَما سَلَوتَ وَلا يُسليكَ ما صَنَعوا

3. While you bear what you have been burdened with.
We enjoy and stay in prosperity as long as you remain for us.

٣. يا ابنَ الطَويلِ وَكَم آثَرتَ مِن حَسَنٍ
فينا وَأَنتَ بِما حُمِّلتَ مُضطَلِعُ

4. But if you perish, we have no refuge of hope.

٤. نَحظى وَنَبقى بِخَيرٍ ما بَقيتَ لَنا
فَإِن هَلَكتَ فَما في مَلجأ طَمَعُ
