لقد قرت العينان بالقرب منكم

كما سخنت أيام يطويكم البعد

My eyes found peace in your company

My eyes have found cool delight in your nearness,

As the days warmed when distance wrapped you

Just as they wept hot tears in the days when distance drew you away.

فللَه فيما قد مضى الصبر والرضى

وللَه فيما قد قضى الشكر والحمد

So for what has passed, praise & thanks be to God

Unto God, for all that has passed, belong patience and contentment,

And for what God ordained, patience & contentment

And unto God, for all that He has decreed, belong gratitude and praise.
