1. When blamed for his meaning and words at his grave
The valleys gave you drink time and again

2. O Ma'n's grave, you were the first hole
Dug in the ground as a resting place for generosity

3. O Ma'n's grave, how you covered his generosity
Though from it came righteousness on land and sea

4. Yes, you contained generosity though generosity is dead
If alive, you would have been too narrow so you would crack

5. When Ma'n passed away, generosity passed away
The tree of virtues became fruitless and hewn down

6. It was but generosity the image of his creation
He lived a time then turned away and bade farewell

7. And you, O Ma'n, made the house of generosity inhabited
So it has become a wasteland void of generosity

8. A youth who lived in his good deeds after his death
As if his course remained pasture after the flood

9. Some people wished for his loftiness from their misguidance
And they became prey and booty on the chins

10. May Abu Al-'Abbas be spared from him and not
Let your reward from Ma'n be that you crumble

11. The mention of Ma'n refused that his actions die
Though he met his fate and demise

12. Neither he whom you were his son died, no, nor he
Who did like your father did and strove

13. For your elegy there are griefs and outpacing tears
That shed blood from inside the gut that pooled

14. I endured them after Ma'n's death more intensely
Than what he endured and drank down

15. And strangely I spent the night in discontent
And I spent happily what you allowed me

16. Had I been just to you in affection, I would not spend
A night unlike you until we are shrouded together in ruin
