1. My tears did not flow at any misfortune,
Except I made you their cause and reason.
١. ما غاضَ دَمعي عِندَ نازِلَةٍ
إِلّا جَعَلتَكَ لِلبُكا سَبَبا
2. And if I remember you dead, my eyes
Shed their tears and overflow and pour down.
٢. وِإِذا ذَكَرتُكَ مَيِّتاً سَفَحَت
عَيني الدُموعُ فَفاضَ وَاِنسَكَبا
3. Indeed, I hold dear a soil you walked on,
More than seeing any other place woeful.
٣. إِنّي أَجِلُّ ثَرىً حَلَلتَ بِهِ
عَن أَن أُرى لِسِواهُ مُكتَئِبا
