1. They are gone, and the body after them
Is naught to the sun overhead;
١. بانُوا فصارَ الجِسْمُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ
ما تَصْنعُ الشّمْسُ لهُ فَيّا
2. How shall I encounter them
When they see me living after them?
٢. بأيِّ وَجْهٍ أَتلقّاهُمُ
إذا رَأَوني بعْدَهُمْ حيّا
3. What shall I say to their enemies
When they say the separation hurt me not?
٣. وما جوابي إِذْ تَقولُ العِدَا
ما صَنَعَ البَيْنُ بِهِ شَيّا
4. O my shame that he said it,
O my shame that loss of them hurt me not!
٤. يا خَجْلَتي منهُ ومِنْ قولِهِ
ما ضَرَّكَ الفَقْدُ لَنَا شَيّا
