1. سَأَصبِرُ لِلحِمامِ وَقَد أَتاني

    وَإِلّا فَهُوَ آتٍ بَعدَ حينِ

    I shall face death patiently, and it has already come to me.

    And if not, it will come after a while.

  2. وَإِن أَسلَم يَمُت قَبلي حَبيبٌ

    وَمَوتُ أَحِبَّتي قَبلي يَسوِني

    And if I survive, a loved one will die before me.

    And the death of my loved ones before me grieves me.
