أحبتنا هل تسمعون لنا شكوى
فقد زادنا الهجران بلوى على بلوى
Our beloved ones, will you hear our complaint?
For separation has added affliction upon affliction.
صددتم وقلتم قد سلونا بزعمكم
ولسنا على هذا وحق الهوى نقوى
You turned away and said, as you claim, that we had forgotten you.
But, by the truth of love, we cannot bear this.
سهرنا وأوفينا فنمتم وخنتموا
وقلتم لنا لا عاش من لم يمت شجوى
We stayed awake and remained faithful; you slept and betrayed us.
And you told us: May whoever does not die of lovesick grief never live.
هنيئاً لكم أحبابنا النوم بعدنا
ولو اننا من بعدكم لا نرى الغفوا
Sleep well, our beloved ones, after leaving us,
Though after you, we find no slumber.
