1. ومهاة ودعتني ومضت

    تقطع القلب بوصل الرحم

    And an oryx doe bade me farewell and departed,

    rending the heart by keeping the bonds of kinship.

  2. أخذت روحي وارحت وارتضت

    طي نفسي مع طي القدم

    She took my soul, went away, and was content

    to fold away my self with the folding of the foot.

  3. حسبي اللَه تعالى هكذا

    حالة المخلص راعي الذمم

    God Most High suffices me; such

    is the state of the sincere one, the keeper of covenants.
