فَوَدِدتُ إِذ سَحَطوا وَشَطَّ مَزارُهُم

فَوَدِدتُ إِذ سَحَطوا وَشَطَّ مَزارُهُم

وَعَدَتهُمُ عَنّا عَوادٍ تَشغَلُ

وَعَدَتهُمُ عَنّا عَوادٍ تَشغَلُ

So I wished, when they went far away and their place of visitation grew distant,

I wish that when they fell and their place of pilgrimage was abandoned,

and distracting misfortunes kept them away from us.

And events came between us to distract,
