1. فَإِن تَكُ قَد مَلِلتَ القُربَ مِنّي

    فَسَوفَ تَرى مُجانَبَتي وَبُعدي

    So if you have grown tired of being close to me,

    Then you will see me keep away and keep my distance.

  2. وَسَوفَ تَلومُ نَفسَكَ إِن بَقينا

    وَتَبلوا الناسَ وَالأَحوالَ بَعدي

    And you will blame yourself, if we live on,

    And put people and circumstances to the test after me.

  3. فَتَندَمُ في الَّذي فَرَّطتَ فيهِ

    إِذا قايَستَ في ذَمّي وَحَمدي

    Then you will regret what you neglected,

    When you weigh censure of me against praise of me.
