وكمْ أمورٍ حدثَتْ بعدَهُ

وكمْ أمورٍ حدثَتْ بعدَهُ

حتى بكتْ حزناً عليهِ الرتوتْ

حتى بكتْ حزناً عليهِ الرتوتْ

And how many things happened after him,

Until even the chieftains wept for him in sorrow.

لو لمْ يمتْ ما عرفوا قدرَهُ

لو لمْ يمتْ ما عرفوا قدرَهُ

ما يعرفُ الإنسانُ حتى يموتْ

ما يعرفُ الإنسانُ حتى يموتْ

Had he not died, they would not have known his worth;

A person is not known until he dies.
