1. I saw in the desert of Al-Qarafa women
Mourners who do not house sorrow in a home
١. رَأَيْتُ بِصَحْراءِ الْقَرافَةِ نِسْوَةً
نَوَازِعَ لا يَأْوِينَ حُزْنَاً إِلَى بَيْتِ
2. They will lean over a dead man and follow in his tracks
And strange - a dead man lamenting for the dead
٢. يَنُحْنَ عَلى مَيْتٍ سَيَتْبَعْنَ إِثْرَهُ
وَمِنْ عَجَبٍ مَيْتٌ يَنُوحُ عَلَى مَيْتِ
