عَزاءَكِ يا عَينُ لا تَجزَعي

عَزاءَكِ يا عَينُ لا تَجزَعي

وَضَنّاً بمائك لا تَدمعي

وَضَنّاً بمائك لا تَدمعي

Take solace, O eye; do not be distraught.

Do not despair, O my eyes,

Take comfort, O eye, do not despair,

And be sparing with your water; do not weep.

And do not weep with your flowing tears,

And be sparing of your water; do not weep.

عَزاءً وَصَبراً فَإِنَّ الأَسى

عَزاءً وَصَبراً فَإِنَّ الأَسى

كَثير وَانّ حَياتي مَعي

كَثير وَانّ حَياتي مَعي

Solace and patience, for sorrow

Take solace and have patience,

Find solace and patience, for the sorrow

Is great, and my life is with me.

For grief is plenty and my life is with me.

Is great, yet my life remains with me.
