1. فَنَيتُ سِوى حُشاشاةٍ تَرَقّى

    وَخَلَّفتُ الحَياةَ عَلى أُناسِ

    I faded away, nothing left but whispers ascending

    And left life with people

  2. وَأَدنى مَجلِسِ العُوّادِ مِنّي

    سَقامٌ ظَلَّ يُخبِرُهُم بِباسي

    And the council of sympathizers drew near me

    With lingering illness that told them of my condition
