أسفاً عليك سلاك أقرَبُ قُربَةً

أسفاً عليك سلاك أقرَبُ قُربَةً

مني وأحزاني عليك تزيدُ

مني وأحزاني عليك تزيدُ

Alas for you! You are forgotten by one closer in kinship

I'm sorry for you, my friend, who are so close,

than I, while my sorrows for you grow.

The closest of all to me, yet my sorrows upon you increase.
