باللَهِ يا ناعمةَ الخَمسِ

أَحُلتِ عَن عَهدِكِ بالأَمسِ

By Allah, O soft-handed one

You have broken your promise yesterday

قُوموا انظروا كَيفَ ضَحا ظلُّهُ

مَن كانَ محجوباً عَنِ الشَّمسِ

Arise and see how his shade has cleared

He who was veiled from the sun

وكَيفَ عاثَ التُّربُ في أَنمُلٍ

قد كُنَّ يَدمَين مِنَ اللَّمسِ

And how the soil clings to fingers

That were hurt from touching

كَيفَ استطاعَ القبرَ في رَوعةٍ

مَن كانَ يرتاعُ مِنَ الهَمسِ

How the grave could contain, in tranquility

Him who feared whispers

حالُكِ فينا قبلُ معلومَةٌ

إيهٍ فما حالُكِ في الرّمسِ

Your state among us was known before

Alas, what is your state in the burial?
