1. She came to visit my bed after being buried
So I kept kissing a neck adorned with pearls
١. جاءَتْ تَزُورُ فِراشي بَعْدَمَا قُبِرَتْ
فَظَلْتُ أَلْثُمُ نَحْراً زَانَهُ الجِيدُ
2. And I said, my heart's delight, you have been resurrected for us
So how, when the path to the grave is blocked?
٢. وقُلْتُ قُرَّةَ عيني قدْ بُعِثْتِ لَنَا
فكيفَ ذَا وطَريقُ القَبْرِ مَسْدُودُ
3. She said, my bones are deposited there
Where the daughters of the earth and worms prey on them
٣. قالتْ هناكَ عِظَامِي فيهِ مُودَعَةٌ
تَعِيثُ فيها بَنَاتُ الأرضِ والدُّودُ
4. And this soul has come to you as a visitor
This is the visit of one who lies in a wretched grave
٤. وهذِهِ الرُّوحُ قدْ جَاءَتْكَ زائرةً
هذي زِيارَةُ مَنْ في القَبْرِ مَلْحُودُ
