1. When we buried his body in the soil
I made the heart within me his tomb
١. وَلَمّا دَفَنّا جِسمَهُ في تُرابِهِ
جَعَلتُ صَميمَ القَلبِ مِنّي لَهُ قَبرا
2. And his dust became the secret of my heart
Whenever I tried to forget him, it renewed the memory
٢. وَتُربَتَهُ سِرَّ الفُؤادِ وَكُلَّما
هَمَمتُ بِأَن أَنساهُ جَدَّدَ لي ذِكرا
