مع السلامة [Ma'as Salamah] [English translation]

"What a shame!" a hundred times over

being harsh doesn't mean you're smart.

If there’s any mercy in this world

where’s the proof?

I feel too sorry for myself

I am not able to leave you all and depart.

And say farewell to everything

in front of our building,

The beautiful memories

and the bygone years of my life.

Suddenly, because of you, O world!

Have all gone with the wind

So farewell, farewell, farewell

We've been fooled by this world for such a long time,

Farewell, farewell, farewell

This is a strange world that is keeping us far apart.

I see a tear in your eyes

I carry some it in my own eyes;

There is nothing that you

and I can do.

I cannot bear to see you

hiding yourselves…

And none of you can bring himself

to come and bid me farewell.

The nights may keep us apart

but you are always on my mind;

This world brings us together once,

But separates us a hundred times.

So farewell, farewell, farewell

We've been fooled by this world for such a long time,

Farewell, farewell, farewell

This is a strange world that is keeping us far apart.

A path that no one knows where it will lead us

yet we have no choice but to follow it;

And years that always leave

their mark on our hearts.

I’ve suffered so much in you, O world!

Out of my anguish I cursed you,

You took was due to you, but what was due to me

I have left it until the Day of Judgment.

So farewell, farewell, farewell

We've been fooled by this world for such a long time,

Farewell, farewell, farewell

This is a strange world that is keeping us far apart.

So farewell, farewell, farewell

We've been fooled by this world for such a long time,

Farewell, farewell, farewell

This is a strange world that is keeping us far apart.
