سَأَنعى اِبنَ لَيلى لِلَّذي راحَ بَعدَهُ

يُرَجّي القِرى وَالدَهرُ جَمٌّ غَوائِلُه

I will lament the son of Layla for him who went after him

He hoped for the villages and time gathered his goals

وَكانَ الَّذي لا تُستَراثُ فُضولُهُ

بِخَيرٍ وَلا يَشقى بِهِ الدَهرَ نازِلُه

And he who was generous with his bounty

With good, so time was not miserable for its settler

أَلا إِنَّ هَذا المَوتَ أَضحى مُسَلَّطاً

وَكُلُّ اِمرِئٍ لا بِدَّ تُرمى مَقاتِلُه

Lo! Verily, this death has become overwhelming

And every person must inevitably have their fate
