God bless those true brothers, whose love is no lie.
They resolved to part and left two sorrows in my breast.
كانواthey were سناradiance البدرthe full moon بالداجيin the dark night ونورand the light العينthe eye
كانوا سنا البدر بالداجي ونور العين
غابواthey departed فقلso tell ليto me بعدهمafter them منwho يجيcomes بالعينin one’s eyes
غابوا فقل لي بعدهم من يجي بالعين
They were the full moon’s radiance in the dark night and the light of my eyes.
They are gone; tell me, who after them could find favor in my eyes?
