لَم تَمُت أَنتَ إِنَّما ماتَ مَن لَم

يُبقِ في المَجدِ وَالمَحامِدِ ذِكرا

You did not die. Rather, he who did not leave

In glory and in praises any mention died.

لَستُ مُستَسقِياً لِقَبرِكَ غَيثاً

كَيفَ يَظما وَقَدتَضَمَّنَ بَحرا

I am not begging from your grave any rain.

How can it thirst, while it contains an ocean?
