يا سَادَتي هذِهِ رُوحي تُوَدِّعُكُمْ

إِذْ كَانَ لا الصَّبْرُ يُسْلِيها وَلا الجَزَعُ

My lords, my soul is bidding you farewell

Since neither patience comforts it, nor grief avails

قَدْ كُنْتُ أَطْمَعُ في رَوْحِ الحَياةِ لَها

فَالآنَ مُذْ غِبْتُمُ لَمْ يَبْقَ لِي طَمَعُ

I had hoped that it would live on

But now that you are gone, I have no more hope

لا عَذَّبَ اللَهُ رُوحي بِالبَقاءِ فَما

أَظُنُّها بَعْدَكُمْ بِالعَيْشِ تَنْتَفِعُ

May God not torture my soul with remaining alive

For I think it will gain nothing from life after you
