1. وقلت لفخري حين جئنا لبابه

    نبلِّغه أشجاننا ونودّعُ

    And I said to Fakhri, when we came to his door

    To convey to him our sorrows and bid farewell:

  2. لقد رَبطت منا القلوب بحبكم

    حبائلُ حتى الموت لا تتقطع

    Indeed, our hearts have been bound in love for you

    By bonds that will not break until death.
