أَقْفَرَ مِن أَهْلِهِ عَبِيدُ

أَقْفَرَ مِن أَهْلِهِ عَبِيدُ

فاليومَ لا يُبْدِي ولا يُعِيدُ

Ubayd was left desolate, bereft of his people.

Abandoned by his people, stands Ubayd

So today he neither utters a word nor repeats one.

Today, no word does he speak, nothing repeats

غَنَّتْ له مَنِيّةٌ نكودُ

وحان منها له وُرُودُ

وحان منها له وُرُودُ

A baleful death sang to him.

Soft and alluring, Maneeya sang to him

And the time came for him to drink from her.

From her came to him, many roses and buds
