1. اذكرونا مثل ذكرانا لكم

    فجفى الأحباب يوري البرحا

    Remember us as we remember you.

    For the estrangement of loved ones kindles anguish.

  2. وبذكراكم تراكم عيدنا

    رب ذكرى قربت من نزحا

    And in remembering you, you are indeed our festival.

    Many a memory has brought near one who went far away.

  3. وارحموا صباً إذا غنى بكم

    اتلف القلب وللجسم لحا

    And have mercy on a lovesick man who, when he sings of you,

    Destroys his heart and flays his body.

  4. وإذا ما الليل أرخى جنحه

    شرب الدمع وعاف القدحا

    And when night lets down its wing,

    He drinks tears and shuns the cup.
