رِضا الفنا عن بَقائي بعدَكُمْ غَضَبُ

كأَنَّما راحَتي مُذْ غِبتُمُ تعبُ

My survival after you is anger, not contentment

It's as if my rest has been fatigue since your absence

وَاخَجْلتي من بقائي بعدَ فُرْقَتِكُمْ

إِذ ليس لي في حياتي بَعدكم أَربُ

And I'm ashamed of surviving after our separation

For without you my life holds no profit

وَلَيسَ مَوتي عَجيباً بَعْدَ بينِكُمُ

وإِنَّما في حياتي بَعدكم عَجَبُ

Nor would my death be wondrous after being amongst you

Rather, the wonder is that I live on after you
