1. The clouds and all the mist mourn
A body in a bare dwelling
١. نَعَتِ السَحائِبُ وَالغَمامُ بِأَسرِها
جَسَداً بِمَسكَنَ عارِيَ الأَوصالِ
2. The beasts make its refuge their own at night, and his abode
Is amidst ruins, all forsaken
٢. تُمسي عَوائِذَهُ السِباعُ وَدارُهُ
بِمَنازِلٍ أَطلالُهُنَّ بَوالي
3. His companions journeyed on, leaving him lying
For the wind, between the zephyr and the north
٣. رَحَلَ الرِفاقُ وَغادَروهُ ثاوِياً
لِلريحِ بَينَ صَبا وَبَينَ شَمالِ
