وإذا الفتى لاقى الحمام رأيته

لولا الثناء كأنه لم يولد

And when a young man meets death, you see him—

were it not for praise—as though he had never been born.

وأتيت أبيض سابغاً سرباله

يكفي المشاهد غيب من لم يشهد

And you came upon a radiant man, his robe ample and flowing;

he is enough for the beholder in the absence of one who did not see.
