رجعت الى سجني رجوعي الى قبري

وفاءً لذكرى البؤس فيه مدى شهر

I returned to my prison, my return to my grave,

Out of loyalty to the memory of misery in it for a month,

وقلـت لعـل الميـت اذ يحشرونه

يعـود وفاءً بالعهود الى القبر

And I said, perhaps the dead, when they are resurrected,

Will return out of loyalty to pacts, to the grave.
