لا تقل عندَ رحيلك

أسعدَ اللهُ مساءَك

Do not say upon your departure,

"May God make your evening joyful."

أيُّ سعدٍ لخليلِك

شيَّعَ الروحَ وراءَك

What joy is there for your friend

Who has bid farewell to his soul?

إِن تُقِم عندي ظلامي

يستَحِل ليلِي ضياء

If you stay with me, my darkness

Becomes illuminated by your light.

منكَ لو كانت تباع

أشتريهَا بالحياه

If it could be bought from you,

I would buy it with my life.
