قَبرٌ بِبَرذَعَةَ اِستَسَرَّ ضَريحُهُ

خَطَراً تَقاصَرُ دونَهُ الأَخطارُ

A grave in Baradha'ah has concealed its tomb

A danger before which all dangers are diminished

أَجَلٌ تَنافَسَهُ الحِمامُ وَحُفرَةٌ

نَفِسَت عَلَيها وَجهَكَ الأَحفارُ

A term competed over by the doves and a pit

Your face blew upon with full force

أَبقى الزَمانُ عَلى مَعَدٍّ بَعدَهُ

حَزناً كَعُمرِ الدَهرِ لَيسَ يُعارُ

The days have persisted bitterly after him

With a sadness equal to the age of time that cannot be blamed

نَفَضَت بِكَ الآمالُ أَحلاسَ الغِنى

وَاِستَرجَعَت نُزّاعَها الأَمصارُ

Hopes were scattered by you, mansions of prosperity

And the cities reclaimed their disputes

سَلَكَت بِكَ العَرَبُ السَبيلَ إِلى العُلا

حَتّى إِذا سَبَقَ الرَدى بِكَ حاروا

The Arabs traveled by you the path to glory

Until, when ruin overtook you, they were confused

فَاِذهب كَما ذَهَبَت غَوادي مُزنَةٍ

أَثنى عَلَيها السَهلُ وَالأَوعارُ

So go just as the valleys of Muzaynah went

Praised by the plains and rugged lands
