عاشَlived مِنْfrom بَعْدِafter مَوْتِهِhis death البُوصِيريْal-Busiri
عاشَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَوْتِهِ البُوصِيريْ
وَحَياةُand the life الكِلاَبِof the dogs مَوْتُthe death الحَمِيرِof the donkeys
وَحَياةُ الكِلاَبِ مَوْتُ الحَمِيرِ
Al-Busiri lived after his death.
The vizier al-Bussayri lived after dying,
And the life of dogs is the death of donkeys.
While the life of dogs is the donkeys' dying.
عاشَlived قَوْمٌsome people مُذْsince قِبْلَbefore إنِّيindeed I قدalready مِتُّdied
عاشَ قَوْمٌ مُذْ قِبْلَ إنِّي قد مِتُّ
فماتُواso they died قَبْلِيbefore me بِوَخْزِfrom stabbing الصُّدُورِthe breasts
فماتُوا قَبْلِي بِوَخْزِ الصُّدُورِ
Some people lived since before I had indeed died.
A people lived before I said "I am dead,"
So they died before me from stabs to their breasts.
And died before me from inner wounds bleeding.
لَسْتُI am not مَمَّنْamong those who يَمُوتُdies أَوْuntil يَقْدمُونِيthey precede me
لَسْتُ مَمَّنْ يَمُوتُ أَوْ يَقْدمُونِي
وَأَبْكِيand I weep عَلَيْهِمُover them فيin القُبُورِthe graves
وَأَبْكِي عَلَيْهِمُ في القُبُورِ
I am not one to die until they go before me,
I'm not one who dies or one they eulogize,
And I weep over them in their graves.
And for whom they weep inside tombs proceeding.
وَصَحِيحٌand it is true بأَنَّنيthat I كُنتُI was قَدْalready مِتُّdied
وَصَحِيحٌ بأَنَّني كُنتُ قَدْ مِتُّ
وأحْيانِيَand revived me جُودُgenerosity هذَاthis الوَزِيرِthe vizier
وأحْيانِيَ جُودُ هذَا الوَزِيرِ
And it is true that I had already died,
And it's true that I was dead for a space,
And this vizier's generosity revived me.
Yet my vizier's goodness granted me grace.
