داعي الجهل عن زيارة مغرمك انفاك

يا ليته عنه عينيك غمض والجم فاك

O ignorant caller, cease your visiting of the one you love

If only you would close your eyes to him and choke your tears

وجهلت نهج الوداد وكان لا يخفاك

يا من دفنت الوفا بتراب راس الجفا

You ignored the path of affection though it was clear to you

O you who buried loyalty in the dust of cruelty's head

الله يحسن عزاك على وفاة وفاك

May God give you comfort for the death of your loyalty
