1. هَلْ لي إلَى هَجْرِهِمُ مِنْ سَبِيلْ

    قَدْ كَدَّرَ الخاطِرَ قالٌ وقيلْ

    Is there any way for me to forsake them?

    Talk and hearsay have indeed troubled my mind.

  2. أَلْقاهُمُ والقَلْبُ في راحَةٍ

    وأَنْثَني عَنْهُمْ بِكَرْبٍ طَوِيلْ

    I meet them with my heart at ease,

    And turn away from them in lasting anguish.

  3. يا رَبِّ قَرِّبْ بَيْنَنا بَيْنَنا

    فَرُبَّ بَيْنٍ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ جَميلْ

    O my Lord, hasten our parting from one another,

    For many a parting between people is beautiful.
