Sol 6

  1. For Khalil Basila stands a tomb of honor,

    Upon which the mercies of the Most Merciful have been poured.

  2. A branch that the wind of death has broken;

    Indeed, winds are breakers of branches.

  3. Alas for a mother struck by his calamity:

    She became a companion of sorrows over him.

  4. She wrote a verse to mark his date, saying in it:

    “May my tears water you, O slender bān branch.”
