حسنات الخد منه قد أطالت حسراتي

كلما سآء فعالاً قلت إن الحسنات

His good deeds only prolonged my regret

Whenever he acted poorly, I would say "Remember his good deeds"

راحت وفود الأرض عن قبره

فارغة الأيدي ملاء القلوب

Pilgrims from all over left his grave

With empty hands and full hearts

قد علمت ما رزأت إنما

يعرف قدر الشمس بعد الغروب

I have learnt, though late, that

The value of the sun is known only after sunset
