1. Turn to me, so I may bid farewell, Jabr,
Why the rejection when you're about to depart?
١. عُوجي عَلَيَّ فَسَلِّمي جَبرُ
فيمَ الصُدودُ وَأَنتُمُ سَفرُ
2. We only meet for three days
Until we're separated by parting.
٢. ما نَلتَقي إِلّا ثَلاثَ مِنىً
حَتّى يُفَرِّقَ بَينَنا النَفرُ
3. The year, then the month follows it.
Time is naught but the year and month.
٣. الحَولَ ثُمَّ الشَهرَ يَتبَعُهُ
ما الدَهرُ إِلّا الحَولُ وَالشَهرُ
