1. O young leopard with no comforter
If you were the best of them, a youth
١. يا طِفلَ فَهرٍ لا عَزاءَ لَهُم
إِن كُنتَ في أَشرافِهِم لَفَتى
2. Distance has veiled their eyes from you
But their hearts are drawn to you still
٢. حَجَبَ التَباعُدُ عَنكَ أَعيُنَهُم
لكِن إِلَيكَ قُلوبَهُم لَفَتا
3. And glory, if it laments you among them
Will lament you with only good words
٣. وَالمَجدُ إِن يَنعَتكَ بَينَهُمُ
فِبِكُلِّ ذِكرٍ طَيِّبٍ نَعَتا
4. The living women increased their sorrow for you
Your maidens wept over your grave as they lamented
٤. زادَت نِساءَ الحَيِّ فيكَ أَسىً
أَمَتاكَ حَولَ القَبرِ إذ نَعَتا
