أقولI say ونعشُهُand his bier يَختالُstruts تيهاًin pride
أقول ونعشُهُ يَختالُ تيهاً
تحيطُsurrounds بِهِaround it المهابةُawe والجلالُand majesty
تحيطُ بِهِ المهابةُ والجلالُ
I say, as his bier struts in pride,
I say as his coffin sways lost in grief
Awe and majesty surround it:
Majesty and glory surround it
خليليَّmy two friends احسراclear away (you two) دمعيmy tears قليلاًa little
خليليَّ احسرا دمعي قليلاً
لأَنظُرَso that I may see كَيفhow سُيِّرتِwere set in motion الجبالُthe mountains
لأَنظُرَ كَيف سُيِّرتِ الجبالُ
My two friends, clear away my tears a little,
My beloved, shed but a few tears
So I may see how the mountains were set in motion.
That I may see how the mountains shall fare
