1. The mixed one said tomorrow we will split
Or after it, will you not bid us farewell?
١. قالَ الخَليطُ غَداً تَصَدُّعُنا
أَو بَعدَهُ أَفَلا تُشَيُّعُنا
2. As for leaving, it is before the day after tomorrow
So when will the house say gather us?
٢. أَمّا الرَحيلُ فَدونَ بَعدِ غَدٍ
فَمَتى تَقولُ الدارُ تَجمَعُنا
3. India will yearn for us after it killed
Knowing that estrangement saddened us
٣. لَتَشوقُنا هِندٌ وَقَد قَتَلَت
عِلماً بَأَنَّ البَينَ فاجِعُنا
4. Wondrous is her stance and our stance
And with the hearing of her upbringing she argues with us
٤. عَجَباً لِمَوقِفِها وَمَوقِفِنا
وَبِسَمعِ تِربَيها تُراجِعُنا
5. And her words one night with us
We pledge though estrangement circulated between us
٥. وَمَقالِها سِر لَيلَةً مَعَنا
نَعهَد فَإِنَّ البَينَ شائِعُنا
6. I said, many eyes are among you
And I think the journey prevents us
٦. قُلتُ العُيونُ كَثيرَةٌ مَعَكُم
وَأَظُنُّ أَنَّ السَيرَ مانِعُنا
7. No, but we will visit you in your land
So your speaker is obeyed and our intercessor
٧. لا بَل نَزورُكُم بِأَرضِكُمُ
فَيُطاعُ قائِلُكُم وَشافِعُنا
8. She said something, will you do it
By your life, is this or are you deceiving us?
٨. قالَت أَشَيءٌ أَنتَ فاعِلُهُ
هَذا لَعَمرُكَ أَم تُخادِعُنا
9. By God, speak what we hope for
And be truthful for truth is all encompassing for us
٩. بِاللَهِ حَدَّث ما نُؤَمِّلُهُ
وَاِصدُق فَإِنَّ الصِدقَ واسِعُنا
10. Set for us a deadline we can prepare for
Breaking its appointment severs ties between us
١٠. إِضرِب لَنا أَجَلاً نَعُدُّ لَهُ
إِخلافُ موعِدِهِ تَقاطُعُنا
