سَقَى الغَيْثُ أَرْضاً ضُمِّنَتْكَ وساحَةً

لِقَبْرِكَ فيهِ الغَيْثُ واللّيْثُ والبَدْرُ

The rain watered a land that embraces you

And an open space for your grave, where rain, people and the full moon frequent

وما هي أَهْلٌ إِذْ أَصَابَتْكَ بالبِلَى

لسُقْيا ولكنْ مَنْ حَوَى ذلكَ القَبْرُ

It is not fit for people, since decay has touched you

Not for irrigation, but for who that grave contains
