Visit the grave of Saj'an, who

زر بالكرامة قبر سجعان الذي

1. Visit the grave of Saj'an, who
Made the generous sons of 'Awn weep when he passed away,

١. زر بِالكَرامةِ قَبرَ سَجعانَ الَّذي
أَبكى بَني عَونِ الأَكارمِ إِذ مَضى

2. Eyes wept for his death, and within every heart after him
Was the fire of sorrow.

٢. ناحَت لِمَصرَعِه العُيونُ وَدونَها
في كُلِ قَلبٍ بَعدَهُ نارُ الغَضى

3. A noble man whom we buried beside a handful of dust
In which perfection was buried, as fate willed.

٣. شَهمٌ دَفنَّاهُ بِجانبِ تُربةٍ
دُفِنَ الكَمالُ بِها كَما شاءَ القَضا

4. So say, "Peace be upon his soil," chronicling
And may mercy and contentment adorn his side.

٤. فَقُلِ السَلامَ عَلى ثَراهُ مُؤرِّخاً
وَتَحلُّ جانِبَهُ المَراحِمُ وَالرِضَى
