عَينَيَّ جودا بِدَمعٍ مِنكُما جودا

جودا وَلا تَعِدا في اليَومِ مَوعودا

My eyes shed generous tears for you both

Be generous and do not fail your promised day

هَل تَدرِيانِ عَلى مَن ذا سَبَلتُكُما

عَلى اِبنِ أُمّي أَبيتُ اللَيلَ مَعمودا

Do you know for whom you both shed those tears?

For the son of my mother I spent the soaked night awake

دارَت بِنا الأَرضُ أَو كادَت تَدورُ بِنا

يا لَهفَ نَفسي فَقَد لاقَيتُ صِنديدا

The earth spun around with us, or almost did

Oh how anxious I am for I have met adversity

يا عَينُ فَاِبكي فَتىً مَحضاً ضَرائِبُهُ

صَعباً مَراقِبُهُ سَهلاً إِذا ريدا

Oh eye, so cry for a pure man whose ways

Are difficult to monitor, easy when guided

لا يَأخُذُ الخَسفَ في قَومٍ فَيَغضِبَهُم

وَلا تَراهُ إِذا ما قامَ مَحدودا

He takes no pleasure in harming his people in anger

Nor would you see him when appointed as judge

وَلا يَقومُ إِلى اِبنِ العَمِّ يَشتِمَهُ

وَلا يَدِبُّ إِلى الجاراتِ تَخويدا

He doesn’t accuse his cousin’s son in insult

Nor sneak to the neighbors with gossip

كَأَنَّما خَلَقَ الرَحمانُ صورَتَهُ

دينارَ عَينٍ يَراهُ الناسُ مَنقودا

It is as if The Merciful created his image

As a golden dinar that people see minted

إِذهَب حَريباً جَزاكَ اللَهُ جَنَّتَهُ

عَنّا وَخُلِّدتَ في الفِردَوسِ تَخليدا

Go O noble one, may God grant you His Paradise

And we are parted while you are immortalized

قَد عِشتَ فينا وَلا تُرمى بِفاحِشَةٍ

حَتّى تَوَفّاكَ رَبُّ الناسِ مَحمودا

You lived among us without shameful acts

Until the Lord of mankind took you praisingly
