1. وَاليَومَ عُمريَ في الأَعمارِ مُنقَضِبٌ

    وَاليَوم رُوحِيَ عَن جِسمي سَيَغتَرِبُ

    And today my life, among all lives, is cut short.

    And today my soul will become estranged from my body.

  2. لَم يَنتَدِب جَمعُهُم لِلارتِحالِ ضُحىً

    حَتّى غَدَت مُهجَتي لِلحينِ تَنتَدِبُ

    No sooner had their company readied itself to depart at midmorning

    than my heart began to offer itself to death.
