1. أَمّا القُبورُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ أَوانِسٌ

    بِجُوارِ قَبرِكَ وَالدِيارُ قُبورُ

    As for the graves, they are indeed companionable

    Beside your grave, while the dwellings are graves.

  2. عَمَّت فَواضِلُهُ وَعَمَّ مَصابُهُ

    فَالناسُِ فيهِ كُلُّهُم مَأجورُ

    His benefactions reached all, and his loss afflicted all;

    So all people are rewarded for bearing his loss.

  3. رَدَّت صَنائِعُهُ إِلَيهِ حَياتَهُ

    فَكَأَنَّهُ مِن نَشرِها مَنشورُ

    His good deeds restored his life to him,

    So, through their being recounted, he seems raised from the dead.
