1. وكان لنا أصدقاء مضوا

    تفانوا جميعاً وما خلدوا

    And we had friends who passed away.

    They all perished and did not live forever.

  2. تساقوا جميعاً كؤوس المنون

    فمات الصديق ومات العدو

    They all drank together from the cups of death.

    So the friend died, and the enemy died.
