قد قُلْتُ لمَّا ضَمّنوكِ الثَّرى

قد قُلْتُ لمَّا ضَمّنوكِ الثَّرى

وَجالَتِ الحَسْرَةُ في صَدْري

وَجالَتِ الحَسْرَةُ في صَدْري

I said, when they laid you in the earth,

I said, when they laid you in the grave

And grief stirred within my breast:

And grief swelled in my heart,

اذْهبْ فَلا واللهِ لا سَرَّني

اذْهبْ فَلا واللهِ لا سَرَّني

بَعْدَكِ شَيءٌ آخِرَ الدَّهْرِ

بَعْدَكِ شَيءٌ آخِرَ الدَّهْرِ

Go; no, by God, never shall I be gladdened

“Go - by God, after you

By anything after you, to the end of time.

Nothing will ever gladden me again.”
