1. Youth has passed and my heart burns with longing
It's only right that my tears remain
١. لَقَد وَلّى الشّبابُ فَلَهفُ قَلبي
وَحقَّ عَلَيهِ أَن يَبقى بُكائي
2. If I shed tears for the dead, they're but drops
It's the young whose blood has cause to weep
٢. عَلى الأَمواتِ إِنْ بكِيت دموعٌ
يَحِقّ على الشّبابِ بكا الدّماءِ
