1. O you whose killing made time grieve,
There was a matter between you and them.

2. They claimed you were killed while they had an excuse,
They lied, and for your grave they have no excuse.

3. O grave of our noble forgiving master,
May God pray upon you, O grave.

4. It does no harm to a grave when you inhabit it,
That rain does not pass through its land.

5. So may your forgiving palm make its rain just,
And may the boulders bloom in your vicinity.

6. When you sleep, you are awake,
And when you wake, your face is the full moon.

7. And when you get angry, mountains crack into pieces,
And creatures shiver in fear of you.

8. Peace be upon the inhabitant of the grave,
Whom the grave prevented from meeting us.

9. O emigrant, when I came to visit you,
Estrangement was never your way.

10. By God, if you were here, I would leave no one,
Except I killed whoever separated us.
