1. God knows what my wings have hidden
When I saw the separation fulfilled its promise
١. اللهُ يعلم ما طوته جَوانحِي
لمّا رأيتُ البينَ أنجز وعْدَهُ
2. They said the beloved has departed, his beauty gone
He avoided, so how did you find his absence with you
٢. قالوا العزيزُ ترّحلت أجمالهُ
ونأى فكيف وجدَتَ عندك بُعْدَه
3. I answered them, I would be ungrateful for his grace
And gifts, if I lived happily after him
٣. فأجبْتُهم إني لأكفُر فضله
ونوالهَ إن رُحتُ حيًّا بعدَهُ
4. And perhaps He who set the sky still guides him back
Swiftly and relieves us, his presence and his loss
٤. ولعلّ مَنْ سَمَك السماءَ يردّه
عجلاً ويكْفِينا نواه وفقدَه
5. Trust in success, for your Lord does what He wills
For you, O Nizar, and makes your future joyful
٥. ثِق بالنَّجاحِ فإن ربَّك كالئ
لك يا نِزار ومُطْلِعٌ لك سعدَه
6. This is what I can do, and He who gave you
Of His bounty has satisfied you with His gift
٦. هذا الذي أسطيعه جَهْدي وقد
وفّاك من أعطاك منه جَهْده
