Claude 2

  1. الحمد لله وشكرا له

    ما اشبه المأتم بالهجر

    Praise be to God and thanks to Him

    How alike grief is to separation

  2. وأشبه الوصل بوقت الضحى

    من صبحة الأضحى أو الفطر

    And reunion is like the time of forenoon

    Of the morning of Eid or Eid al-Fitr

  3. ولي حديث شاب رأسي له

    هجوم كر الليل والفحر

    And I have a tale as old as my grey hair

    Of night raids and hot pursuit

  4. طيّ ونشرٌ شيّبا لمّتي

    والموت بين الطيّ والنشر

    Folding and unfolding turned my hair grey

    And death lies between folding and unfolding
