1. O my two sons who left me
And were the light of my eyes
١. يَا وَلَدَيَّ اللَّذِيْنَ غَابَا
عَنِّي وَكَانَا ضِيَاءَ عَيْنِي
2. I sat while grief became my friend
In every moment and every place
٢. قَعَدْت وَالحُزْنُ لِي أَلِيفٌ
فِي كُلِّ آنٍ وَكُلِّ أَيْنِ
3. The burning pain of loss melts a heart
What is the state of my heart with two burnings?
٣. حَرْقَةُ ثُكْلٍ تذِيبُ قَلْباً
مَا حَالَ قَلْبِي بِحَرْقَتَيْنِ
4. I have no day left in life
Whose manner is other than the day between us
٤. لَمْ يَبْقَ لِي فِي الحَيَاةِ يَوْمُ
أُسْلُوبُهُ غَيْرَ يَوْمِ بَيْنِي
