رحم الله النواجي فقد

فقد الدنيا وأبقى ما روى

May God have mercy on parting friends

For they have left this world yet what they sowed remains

وانطوى في شقة البين فيا

حسرو العشاق من بعد النواجي

And so they fold into the crease of separation—how I grieve,

The longing of lovers after parting friends
