    بيسان شو نفع الدنيا بلاك
    Bissan(name), shu naf3a denye balaki?
    Bissan, what is the benefit of the world without u?

    بيسان ماكنت بعيش لولاكِ
    Bissan, ma kent b3esh law laki.
    Bissan, i would not be living if it weren't for you

    بيسان صوتي راح تعي برتاح
    Bissan, sawti ra7 ta3e birta7
    Bissan, my voice has gone, come and ill feel comfort

    ياريت عمري راح وخلاكِ
    ya rayt 3omri ra7 w khalak
    I wish my life went away, and you're the one who stayed

    شتقت لغمراتها وينن نظراتها
    shta2t el ghamratha, waynon nazrata?
    I miss her embrace, where are her glances/gazes?

    وين دموع لي كانت تنزل وينن بسماتها
    Wayn el Dmou3 el kanet tenzel, waynon basmata?
    Where are the tears that used to shed? Where are her smiles

    شفتن حملوها عكفوفهن ينعو فيها
    shifton 7emluha 3a kfufon yin3o feeha
    I saw them carrying her on their hands in her obituary

    ركضت لعندن عمببكي تاحكيها
    Rka'6t l3indon 3am bibki ta7kiha
    I ran to them crying just to talk to her

    شميت ترابها الدم يلي على تيابها
    Shamait trabha eldam 3ala tyabha
    I smelt her sand/soil, the stench of blood on her clothes

    يارب صبرني وصبر اهلها على غيابها
    Ya Rab 9aberni o 8abir ahlha 3la '3yabha
    God give me and her family patience upon her departure

    ريتن شافوها اهلها وزفوها وحدي مشوها فوق الورد
    Rayton shafuha 2ahl o zafoha o 7adi mashoha fo2 elward
    I wish her family saw her, and made her walk beside me on the flowers *meaning at a wedding*

    شفتن لفوها نعشها حطوها صارو يرشوها بنفس الورد
    Shifton lafuha, na3sha 7atuha, sar i rishuha bnafs el wared
    I saw them covering her, putting her in her coffin, and started to sprinkle her with the same flowers *meaning instead of flowers being used at a wedding, they were used for the funeral*
