وداعa farewell دونَbefore أوبتهِits return النشورُthe resurrection
وداع دونَ أوبتهِ النشورُ
ونأيand a separation لاnot يقرfinds rest بهin it مسيرa journey
ونأي لا يقر به مسير
A farewell whose return must await resurrection,
Farewell without its hoped resurrection
And a separation in which no journey finds rest.
And distance that does not accept journey

وقال غير ميمونٍ ولكن

بأنكدَ ما يدورُ وما يطيرُ
And he said: 'Not auspicious, but rather
And he said, though not auspiciously, but
With the unluckiest of all that moves about and all that flies.'
That the most grievous of what goes round and flies
