1. No fate befalls the progression of events
That relocates our loved ones to their demise
١. لا دَرُّ نوازِلِ الأحداثِ
نقلَتْ أحِبَّتَنا إلى الأجداثِ
2. Thus our gatherings become but burial grounds
And our praises turn to woeful cries
٢. فغدَتْ مآنِسُنا وهُنَّ مقابرٌ
وغدَتْ مدائِحُنا وهُنَّ مَراثِ
