خُصصتُ بِذا المُصابِ وَعَمّ كُلّ

وَلَيسَ عُمومهُ مِثل الخُصوصِ

I was singled out by this calamity, though it encompassed all,

And the general grief is not like the specific loss;

فَرَبّات الخِيامِ يَنحنَ ثُكلاً

عَلَيكَ مَعي وَرَبّاتُ الخُصوصِ

For the mistresses of the tents wail in bereavement

Over you, alongside me, and the mistresses of the private chambers.
