كانوا وكنا وكانت للزمان يد
When union came to pass and the days were favorable,
When union flowed and days were propitious
They were, and we were, and Time had a hand.
They were, we were, and time held sway

واليوم بانوا وايام الوصال مضت

ونحن في العهد ما زلنا كما عهدوا
Today they have departed, and the days of union have passed,
Today they're gone, and days of union passed
And we remain true to the covenant, as they knew us.
Yet we now remain just as they knew us then

And we may depart and pass on, O Hudhaym, and never
We too may go, O Hathim, and naught will last
Will anyone enduring and eternal remain except God.
Save God, eternal, singular, alone
