1. يا مَعنُ إِنَّكَ لَم تَزَل في خِزيَةٍ

    حَتّى لَفَفتَ أَباكَ في الأَكفانِ

    O Maʿn, you were always in disgrace

    until you wrapped your father in shrouds.

  2. فَاِشكُر بَلاءَ المَوتِ عِندَكَ إِنَّهُ

    أَودى بِلُؤمِ الحَيِّ مِن شيبانِ

    So be grateful for death's favor to you, for it

    has carried off the baseness of the clan of Shayban.
