فرحاً تباكت أعيني

فرحاً تباكت أعيني

لزوال دهر قد ذهب

لزوال دهر قد ذهب

My eyes feigned weeping for joy

My eyes overflowed with joy

At the passing of an age now gone.

At the passing of an era now gone

والدمع جُنّ بما جرى

والدمع جُنّ بما جرى

حتى تسلسل بالذهب

حتى تسلسل بالذهب

And the tears went mad at what had happened,

And my tears amassed from what transpired

Until they were chained with gold.

Until they streamed like golden chains
