1. You sleep in your fragrant clothes
Like a bird that slept on flowers

2. It grieves us that you died so young
With a soul full of youthfulness

3. A lute falls silent whose melody pained us
A sweet voice grows faint

4. Eyelids we delighted in seeing close
Lips that smiled gracefully seal shut

5. God has made your memory last like a flower
Whose fragrance lingered after its petals withered

6. You stayed up for pleasure but had no enjoyment
While others delighted in late nights

7. Sleep well under the branches of a palm tree
That restores your melody in its breezes

8. Oh, may the soil on your grave be as light
As your voice that faded from boredom

9. Your greeting is the morning breeze and our souls
The dewdrops in the cloud greet you too

10. The grave has taken from you a bouquet’s flowers
And strings of a lute that drew tears
