And I said to Fakhri, when we came to his door
I said to my pride as we came to his door,
To convey to him our sorrows and bid farewell:
"Let us tell him of our sorrows and bid farewell."

Indeed, our hearts have been bound in love for you
For our hearts have been bound by the ties of your love -
By bonds that will not break until death.
Cords that not even death can sever.
