1. We were all together, then we parted
O time, why did you make us lonely without us
١. كُنَّا جَميعاً فَتفرَّقنا
يا بينُ لم أوحشتَنا مِنَّا
2. The days would not have been bad, had we kept going
Oblivious to its changes upon us
٢. ما كانَ ضر الدَّهرُ لو سَرَّنا
بِغَفلةٍ من صَرفهِ عَنَّا
3. Do many of us irk you, or few?
And instead of lasting joy, sorrow
٣. آذاكَ من كُثرٍ بنا قلةٌ
ومِن سُرورٍ دائمٍ حُزنا
4. May God return us to a time
When we were together and connected
٤. فردَّنا اللَه إلى غايةٍ
كنا بها حينَ تواصَلنا
