I was told that after you, the fire was lit,

نبئت أن النار بعدك أوقدت

1. I was told that after you, the fire was lit,
And the assembly mourned you, O Kulayb.

١. نُبِّئتُ أَنَّ النارَ بَعدَكَ أوقِدَت
وَاِستَبَّ تَعدَكَ يا كُلَيبُ المَجلِسُ

2. They talked about matters of every great one,
Had you witnessed them, they would not have uttered a word.

٢. وَتَكَلَّموا في أَمرِ كُلِّ عَظيمَةٍ
لَو كُنتَ شاهِدَهُم بِها لَم يَنبِسوا

3. And whenever you wish, you see a radiant face,
And an arm weeping for you, wearing a coat of mail.

٣. وَإِذا تَشاءُ رَأَيتَ وَجهاً واضِحاً
وَذِراعَ باكِيَةٍ عَلَيها بُرنُسُ

4. She weeps for you, and I do not blame a free woman
Who grieves for you with flowing tears and sighs.

٤. تَبكي عَلَيكَ وَلَستُ لائِمَ حُرَّةٍ
تَأسى عَلَيكَ بِعَبرَةٍ وَتَنَفَّسُ
