لا تُنكِرَنَّ رَحيلي عَنكَ في عَجَلٍ

فَإِنّي لِرَحيلي غَيرُ مُختارِ

Do not deny my departure from you in haste

For I did not choose of my own accord to leave

وَرُبَّما فارَقَ الإِنسانُ مُهجَتَهُ

يَومَ الوَغى غَيرَ قالٍ خيفَةَ العارِ

And maybe a man will leave his beloved

On the day of battle, not fearing shame
