قل يوم حتفك عندي

يا عاذلي خير يوم

Say the day of your demise is to me

O reproacher, the best of days

كانت حياتك شؤما

قضيتها باللوم

Your life was misfortune

You spent it blaming

قد استرحنا جميعا

مذ طاب بعدك نومي

We all relaxed

When after you my sleep was sweet

الحمد للّه لما

كانت مصائب قوم

Thanks be to God for what

Were the afflictions of a people
