فَرَمَتْنَا تَعَسُّفاً بِالفِراقِ
Our days envied us our union,
Our days envied us when we met
so unjustly struck us with parting.
So they arbitrarily cast us asunder

مَا أَرَدْنا الفِراقَ لا كانَ مِنَّا

أَشْمَتَ اللَهُ بِالفِراقِ التَّلاقي
We did not wish for parting—may it never be our doing.
We did not want to part, it was not our doing
May God make union gloat over parting.
God has brought relief through reunion after separation
Sol 6.1
