سقى الله أيام العزيز سماحهُ
فخيرُ حياً يُهدى إلى خير منبتِ
May God water the days of al-ʿAzīz with His generosity;
May God water the days of the dear one's generosity
For the finest rain is offered to the finest soil.
The best of the living should be guided to the best source
وبي لوعةٌ إن ملتُ عنهُ مليةٌ
عليه بإدمان البُكا والتلفتِ
And if I turn away from him, my burning grief abounds
And I have intense yearning, if I am distracted from him for a moment
In ceaseless weeping for him and looking back.
I am addicted to constant weeping and turning to him
وكنت جديراً أن أموتَ صبابةً
ولكنَّ حياً لا يدومُ لميتِ
And I might well have died of ardent longing,
And I would have deserved to die in youth
But the living do not endure forever for the dead.
But the living does not last for the dead
فكلُّ سرورٍ آل منا إلى أسى
وكلُّ اجتماعٍ بعده للتشتتِ
So every joy of ours has turned to sorrow,
So all our joy turned to sorrow
And every gathering is followed by dispersal.
And every gathering led later to dispersal
