قلتُ لميٍّ أنا في حيكُمْ

ميْتٌ فدتكِ النفسُ مِنْ ميِّ

I said to a water-bearer, I am dead among your midst

My soul has ransomed itself for you, from death

ترينَ ماذا فيَّ قالتْ أرى

أَنْ يخرجَ الميْتُ منَ الحيِّ

Do you see what is in me, she said, I see

That the dead comes out from the living
