سقاك الحيا قبراً لقد صرت خازناً

سقاك الحيا قبراً لقد صرت خازناً

لمن كان للمعروف افضل خازنِ

May the rain water you, O grave; indeed, you have become a keeper

The grave has made you drink death, you became a treasurer

Of him who was the finest keeper of benevolence.

For one who was the best treasurer of kindness

توليتَ ندباً قلتُ فيهِ مؤَرّخاً

توليتَ ندباً قلتُ فيهِ مؤَرّخاً

تولّي المكارم بعد قيس بن خازنِ

تولّي المكارم بعد قيس بن خازنِ

You undertook a eulogy in which I recorded as a chronicler

The departure of noble virtues after Qays ibn Khazin.
