زر بِالكَرامةِ قَبرَ سَجعانَ الَّذي

أَبكى بَني عَونِ الأَكارمِ إِذ مَضى

Visit the grave of Saj'an, who

Made the generous sons of 'Awn weep when he passed away,

ناحَت لِمَصرَعِه العُيونُ وَدونَها

في كُلِ قَلبٍ بَعدَهُ نارُ الغَضى

Eyes wept for his death, and within every heart after him

Was the fire of sorrow.

شَهمٌ دَفنَّاهُ بِجانبِ تُربةٍ

دُفِنَ الكَمالُ بِها كَما شاءَ القَضا

A noble man whom we buried beside a handful of dust

In which perfection was buried, as fate willed.

فَقُلِ السَلامَ عَلى ثَراهُ مُؤرِّخاً

وَتَحلُّ جانِبَهُ المَراحِمُ وَالرِضَى

So say, "Peace be upon his soil," chronicling

And may mercy and contentment adorn his side.
