1. The daughter of al-Absi says you have aged after us
And every man ages after youth

2. Aging is but an absent thing that was present
And speech is either erring or right

3. Sulaima said why has your body become pale
As if wine protects you, o physician

4. So I answered without knowing the answer or confessing
While fate laughs in silence at the obstinate soul

5. Events follow each other that make my brothers drink
And turned my hair white while sorrows whiten

6. By my life if death has struck
My brother, and deaths are gifts for men

7. His forbearance was refreshing for me
While his ignorance was blazing

8. My brother, no debaucher in suspicion
Nor chaste at the meeting of maidens

9. A brother who was enough for me and who helped me
Against black misfortunes when they take turns

10. Forbearing when the surah of ignorance recited
The necklaces of old age on the stubborn soul

11. He's sweet honey in forbearance and manners
And a lion when meeting rebels

12. His mother fell when the dawn rises
And what the night wants when it becomes dark

13. His mother fell, what does his grave contain
Of glory and kindness when it changes

14. A youth of 'Urahi whose virility shook for dew
As the iron rod shook from water

15. Like the spear point of the slim spear, he was not
Disappointed when the people asked for the most high

16. A brother whose years, the guest knows
That he will pour plenty of water in his springs

17. Beloved to visitors, his home always filled
Beautifully greeting while growing into a poet

18. When the hands of men fall short of high deeds
Dhaw' takes up the furthest generous deeds

19. He gathered all threads of goodness from every side
When misfortune befell them, they were safe

20. Beneficial in finding benefits, repeating
Acts of help and generosity are his scars

21. A supplicant supplicating, is there anyone responding to help
But then there was no respondent

22. So I said, supplicate again and raise your voice aloud
Perhaps Abu Mighwar is near you

23. He will answer you as he used to do, he
Of wide arms was quicker to respond

24. He came to you swiftly and responded to help
That's how he used to respond before today

25. As if the swimming horses never stopped
When the men harnessed the excellent horses

26. A man who did not care if his body
Became pale when the conditions of men became bleak

27. When he appeared to men, you saw him
And they did not babble while he was near

28. I saw him in the best state of men
And the best is nothing but pleasure and fortune

29. An ally of help, he calls help, it answers him
Quickly, and help calls him, he answers

30. A savior for someone helpless who found none to save him
And a choked man, smoke surrounds the stranger

31. Great embers, his abode is wide
Heated sand no defects hid

32. Help sleeps, o mother of 'Amr, the bedding
If the pure were not few

33. Forbearing when forbearance adorns its people
With forbearance, fearful in the enemy's eyes

34. Hurt when he hurts men out of enmity
Feared when he opposes men out of enmity

35. He enriched us with goodness for a period then fate
Struck us, the fate that strikes all people

36. It left little, leaving, and prepared
For another, and hoping for life is false

37. And I know whoever survives of them
His farthest extent is near

38. As if Abu Mighwar did not fulfill a covenant
When the invaders ambushed the people as a watcher

39. And left no noble youth for an unlucky person
When the winds of winter blew strong

40. If one who was absent turns away or lags
That is enough from them, and the person at fault prospers

41. As if Abu Mighwar of glory, the desert did not lure him
When the houses were empty due to isolation

42. A deserted encampment where if its sand is removed
Scars appear atop their scars

43. And I cry for him, and I am truthful
About him, and some sayers are liars

44. The young man of war, when it came, its sky
And the splitter of firewood on a trip, the generous hands

45. You comforted me saying death is only in towns
How so when this is a plateau and dunes?

46. The water of a sky that was not stagnant
In the desert flowing over it are the winds

47. His home is in the abode of truth and bliss
No doctor found fault in his sayings

48. If the world was for sale I would buy him
For with him souls became fragrant

49. With my eyes or right hand, and it was said to me
He is the winner on the day he returns

50. By my life just as the remote when gone
What comes tomorrow is near

51. And my hopes to meet the hopeful
Though its tracks branched from meeting me

52. Like Dahil's supplication forever burdened
And he has no respondent even til death

53. By God I do not forget him since the rising of dawn
And whatever iron spearhead shook

54. I long to meet him though crowds
Have come between me and that meeting

55. Like one who supplicates to Hudhayl but has
No respondent even until death
