1. What is more bitter than the day
Of parting with a friend and companion?
١. أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَمَرُّ مِنْ يَوْمِ بَيْنٍ
وفِراقٍ لِصَاحِبٍ وأَنيسِ
2. If God ordained separation as death
Souls would be too busy mourning to seek it
٢. لَوْ رَمى اللَهُ بِالفِراقِ المَنايا
شُغِلَت عَنْ طِلابِها لِلنُّفُوسِ
