خَرَجناwe left مِنَfrom الدُنياthe world وَنَحنُwhile we مِنَamong اَهلِهاits people
خَرَجنا مِنَ الدُنيا وَنَحنُ مِنَ اَهلِها
فَلَسناso we are not مِنَamong الأَمواتِthe dead فيهاin it وَلاnor الأَحياthe living

We have left the world, though we are among its people.
So we are neither among its dead nor its living.
إِذاwhen دَخَلَentered السَجّانُthe jailer يَوماًone day لِحاجَةٍon an errand
إِذا دَخَلَ السَجّانُ يَوماً لِحاجَةٍ
عَجِبناwe marveled وَقُلناand we said جاءَcame هَذاthis one مِنَfrom الدُنياthe world
عَجِبنا وَقُلنا جاءَ هَذا مِنَ الدُنيا
When the jailer enters one day on some errand,
We marvel and say, 'This man has come from the world.'
وَنَفرَحُand we rejoice بِالرُؤياin dreams فَجُلُّfor most of حَديثِناour talk
وَنَفرَحُ بِالرُؤيا فَجُلُّ حَديثِنا
إِذاwhen نَحنُwe أَصبَحناwe wake in the morning الحَديثُthe talk عَنِabout الرُؤياdreams
إِذا نَحنُ أَصبَحنا الحَديثُ عَنِ الرُؤيا
And we rejoice in dreams, for most of our talk,
When we wake in the morning, is talk of dreams.
فَإِنso if حَسُنَتit was good كانَتit was بَطيئاًslow مَجيئُهاits coming
فَإِن حَسُنَت كانَت بَطيئاً مَجيئُها
وَإِنand if قَبُحَتit was bad لَمdid not تَنتَظِرwait وَأَتَتand it came سَعياrunning
وَإِن قَبُحَت لَم تَنتَظِر وَأَتَت سَعيا
So if a dream is good, it is slow to come true;
And if it is bad, it does not wait, but comes running.
