سَتَرى حَولَ سَريري

سَتَرى حَولَ سَريري

حُسَّراً يَندُبنَ لَطما

حُسَّراً يَندُبنَ لَطما

You will see around my bed

Around my bed you'll see

Bareheaded women lamenting and slapping their cheeks:

Mourners weep and lament

يا قَتيلاً قَتَلَتهُ

يا قَتيلاً قَتَلَتهُ

عَبدَةُ الحَوراءُ ظُلما

عَبدَةُ الحَوراءُ ظُلما

“O slain man, killed by

For a slain man killed

ʿAbda the wide-eyed, unjustly!”

Unjustly by the fairest's devotees
