أَمسيت في قَصر لَحد

أَمسيت في قَصر لَحد

وَرُحت عَنكَ بِوَجدي

وَرُحت عَنكَ بِوَجدي

Evening found you in the palace of a tomb,

and I went away from you with my grief.

وَعِشت بَعدَك يا مَن

وَعِشت بَعدَك يا مَن

وَدَدت لَو عِشت بَعدي

وَدَدت لَو عِشت بَعدي

And I lived on after you, O you

whom I had wished to outlive me.
