1. ما غاضَ دَمعي عِندَ نازِلَةٍ

    إِلّا جَعَلتَكَ لِلبُكا سَبَبا

    My tears never ran dry at a calamity

    Without my making you a reason to weep.

  2. وِإِذا ذَكَرتُكَ مَيِّتاً سَفَحَت

    عَيني الدُموعُ فَفاضَ وَاِنسَكَبا

    And when I remembered you dead, there flowed

    From my eye tears that overflowed and poured forth.

  3. إِنّي أَجِلُّ ثَرىً حَلَلتَ بِهِ

    عَن أَن أُرى لِسِواهُ مُكتَئِبا

    Indeed, I so revere the soil in which you rest

    That I would not be seen grieving for anything else.
