يا مَن أَودِّعُ مِنهُ

يَومَ الفِراقِ حَياتي

O you whom I bid farewell

On the day of parting, my life

لَأَحفِرَنَّ لِنَفسي

قَبراص مِنَ الحَسَراتِ

I will surely dig for myself

A grave of regrets

وَلا أَوَلِّجُ غُسلي

إِلّا إِلى عَبَراتي

And I will not bathe my washing

Except with my tears

فَيَومُ بَينِكَ يَومٌ

يَكونُ فيهِ وَفاتي

For the day with you is a day

In which will be my death
