أَحمدُ هذا سَبطُ متوِيَّةٍ

أَحمدُ هذا سَبطُ متوِيَّةٍ

في موتِهِ بعدَ غَدٍ تَهنِيَه

في موتِهِ بعدَ غَدٍ تَهنِيَه

This Ahmad is Matwiyya’s maternal grandson;

Ahmad, this descendant of Mutawa

His death the day after tomorrow calls for congratulations.

In his death tomorrow you will congratulate him

وَالشَأنُ في أَنّي عَلى بَغضِهِ

وَالشَأنُ في أَنّي عَلى بَغضِهِ

أَحتاجُ أَن أَقعُد لِلتَعزِيَه

أَحتاجُ أَن أَقعُد لِلتَعزِيَه

Yet the trouble is that, despite my hatred of him,

And the matter is that despite my hatred of him

I must sit for condolences.

I need to sit to console him
