1. I returned to my prison, my return to my grave,
Out of loyalty to the memory of misery in it for a month,
١. رجعت الى سجني رجوعي الى قبري
وفاءً لذكرى البؤس فيه مدى شهر
2. And I said, perhaps the dead, when they are resurrected,
Will return out of loyalty to pacts, to the grave.
٢. وقلـت لعـل الميـت اذ يحشرونه
يعـود وفاءً بالعهود الى القبر
