1. لَعَمْرُكَ مَا الفَخْرُ العِرَاقيُّ مَيِّتٌ

    وَإِنْ كَانَ مَا بَيْنَ القُبُورِ لَهُ قَبْرُ

    By your life, Fakhr al-Iraqi is not dead,

    Even though he has a grave among the graves.

  2. وَلِكنَّها الأُخْرى أَتَتْ وَتَزَيَّنَتْ

    وَفَاخَرَتِ الدُّنْيا وكان لَها الفَخُرُ

    But the other world came and adorned herself,

    And vied with this world in glory, and the glory was hers.
