أَيا عَينِ قَد أَشقَيتِني وَشَقيتِ

أَحَقّاً رَأَيتِ المَوتَ ثُمَّ بَقيتِ

Oh eye, you have made me suffer and suffered

Have you truly seen death and yet remained

وَيا نَفسِ إِنَّ العُذرَ لا شَكَّ ساعَةٌ

تَعيشينَها بَعدَ الحَبيبِ فَموتي

And oh soul, there is no doubt the excuse is for an hour

That you live after the beloved, so die
