1. Does the wailing mourner rejoice at the watering of the land's soil
If the stars of nightfall fell down?

2. It occurs to him that the dust, if rain fell on it
Brought seeds, so he gathered them.

3. A mourner with a faint voice glorified Allah
And a gloomy she-camel roared noisily

4. And if we were punished according to our natures
Life would have withheld from us its drops.
