إِنif عافصsuddenly seized روحيmy soul الأَجَلُthe appointed death المُنتظَرُawaited
إِن عافص روحي الأَجَلُ المُنتظَرُ

واِجتُثَّ عَلى يَدي نَواك العُمُرُ
If awaited death suddenly seizes my soul,
My soul, Aafsa is my awaited doom
And life is uprooted at the hands of separation from you,
And my life was uprooted by your hands
بِالحَسرَةِwith anguish رحتُI went ثاوِياًlying فيin جَدَثيmy grave
بِالحَسرَةِ رحتُ ثاوِياً في جَدَثي
ياO وَيليَmy woe إِنif بَكيتُI wept منwho يعتَذرُwill apologize
يا وَيليَ إِن بَكيتُ من يعتَذرُ
I shall go in anguish to lie in my grave.
In sorrow I wandered into my grave
Woe is me! If I weep, who will apologize?
Oh woe is me! Who will apologize if I weep?
