هي نَكْبَةٌ أَغْنَتْ فُؤادي مِنْ أسىً

هي نَكْبَةٌ أَغْنَتْ فُؤادي مِنْ أسىً

إِذْ غادرتْهُ مِنَ العَزاءِ عَديما

إِذْ غادرتْهُ مِنَ العَزاءِ عَديما

It is a calamity that enriched my heart with grief,

It is a calamity that enriched my heart with sorrow,

For it left that heart destitute of consolation.

For it left it bereft of consolation.
