أُحاجيكَ ما قَبرٌ عديمٌ تُرابُهُ

بِهِ مَعشَرٌ مَوتى وَإِن لَم يُكَفَّنوا

I ask you, what grave has dust devoid

Of dead though unshrouded in winding sheets?

سَلَوتُ عنِ التِبيانِ مُدَّةَ قَبرِهِم

فَإِن نُبِشوا يَوماً مِنَ الدَهرِ بَيَّنوا

I've questioned the sand about the condition of their grave

For if dug up one day, it would make all clear
