يا سَادَتي هذِهِ رُوحي تُوَدِّعُكُمْ

يا سَادَتي هذِهِ رُوحي تُوَدِّعُكُمْ

إِذْ كَانَ لا الصَّبْرُ يُسْلِيها وَلا الجَزَعُ

إِذْ كَانَ لا الصَّبْرُ يُسْلِيها وَلا الجَزَعُ

O my masters, this is my soul bidding you farewell,

My lords, my soul is bidding you farewell

For neither patience nor anguish could console it.

Since neither patience comforts it, nor grief avails

قَدْ كُنْتُ أَطْمَعُ في رَوْحِ الحَياةِ لَها

قَدْ كُنْتُ أَطْمَعُ في رَوْحِ الحَياةِ لَها

فَالآنَ مُذْ غِبْتُمُ لَمْ يَبْقَ لِي طَمَعُ

فَالآنَ مُذْ غِبْتُمُ لَمْ يَبْقَ لِي طَمَعُ

I had hoped that it might find solace in life.

I had hoped that it would live on

So now, since you have gone, no hope remains for me.

But now that you are gone, I have no more hope

لا عَذَّبَ اللَهُ رُوحي بِالبَقاءِ فَما

لا عَذَّبَ اللَهُ رُوحي بِالبَقاءِ فَما

أَظُنُّها بَعْدَكُمْ بِالعَيْشِ تَنْتَفِعُ

أَظُنُّها بَعْدَكُمْ بِالعَيْشِ تَنْتَفِعُ

May God not torment my soul with continued life, for I do not

May God not torture my soul with remaining alive

think it can benefit from living after you are gone.

For I think it will gain nothing from life after you
