وَحَطَّ بِها أَكوارَ خوصٍ لَواغِبٍ

يُقلِلُ إِكثارُ الذَميلِ ذَميلَها

He gathered with it bundles of fragrant reed,

The abundance of bundles diminishes their fragrance.

نُغِض عَبرَةً حَلَّ الفِراقُ عِقالَها

وَأَقلَقَ هِجرانُ الحَبيبِ مَقيلَها

Shedding tears, separation has untied its knots,

And the departure of the beloved has disturbed its abode.

فَلا غَروَ أَن فاضَت دُموعُ مُتَيَّمٍ

عَلى الدارِ يَسقي طَلُّهُنَّ طُلولَها

So it is no wonder that the tears of the bereaved

Flow over the abode, their flowing waters its longing.
