عجبت لباني القصر لم يين قبره

وكم مات بان قبل أن يسكن البنا

I am amazed, for the builder of the palace did not stay to live in his grave

And how many have died before residing in the building

ولو كان ذا عقل لما فات قبره

نسيئا ولكن يشغل الناس بالمنى

If he had any wisdom, he would not have missed out on his grave

Forgetting, as worldly desires preoccupy people
