A grave with pieces of hearts adorned

قَبراً بِحَبَّاتِ القُلوب تَكَلّلا
2. A virgin came from the land of Egypt and took her
In the seventh of her years, the shroud of tribulation
٢. بِكرٌ أَتَت مَن أَرضِ مَصرَ فَضَمَّها
في السَبعِ مِن أَعوامِها كَفَنُ البِلى
3. She had not stayed with us except nearly a month
Such is the life of a rose between assemblies
٣. لَم تَبقَ إِلّا نَحوَ شَهرٍ عِندَنا
وَكَذا بَقاءُ الوَردِ ما بَينَ المَلا
4. So her father Saleem the historian has built
You were plucked early by the angels of the Most High
٤. فَأَشادَ وَالِدُها السَليمُ مُؤرِّخاً
قَطَفَتكِ باكِرَةً مَلائكةُ العُلى
