أيَا مَنْ تغرّب بعد البلَى

مصابُك أَبكى فؤادِي وعَيْني

O you who became estranged after intimacy

Your affliction made my heart and my eyes weep

ويومُك يومانِ لا واحدٌ

بَنُوكَ به شَرِبُوا غُصَّتَينِ

Your day is two days, not one

Your sons on it drank two bitter cups

وربُّك إِذْ صَبَروا للأَسى

سيؤتيهمُ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ

And your Lord, when they were patient with grief

Will give them their reward twice over
