وددت بأن ظهر الأرض بطن

وأن البطن منها صار ظهرا

I wish the earth's back became its belly

And its belly became its back instead

وأني مت قبل ورود خطبٍ

أتى فأثار في الأكباد جمرا

And that I died before any misfortune

Came and ignited embers in my heart

وأن دمي لمن قد بان غسل

وأن ضلوع صدري كن قبرا

And that my blood was shed for one exposed

And my ribs were like a grave or tomb
