1. فَوَاللَهِ ما أَبكي عَلى يَومِ ميتَتي

    وَلَكِنَّني مِن وَشكِ بَينِكِ أَجزَعُ

    For, by God, I do not weep for the day of my death,

    but I am distraught at the nearness of parting from you.

  2. فَصَبراً لِأَمرِ اللَهِ إِن حانَ يَومُنا

    فَلَيسَ لِأَمرٍ حَمَّهُ اللَهُ مَدفَعُ

    So be patient with God's decree, if our day should come,

    for there is no averting what God has ordained.
