هذي منازلهم وأن

ت بهم معنى مغرم

These are their dwellings though

I am infatuated with their meaning

فاسفح دموعك في ثرا

ها أو يمازجها الدم

So shed your tears on their soil

Or mix them with blood

وأسأل بهم صرف الزما

ن فإنه هو أعلم

And ask time to pass

For it knows best

يخبرك أن القوم قد

قدموا على ما قدموا

It will tell you that the people have

Advanced to what they advanced

وغدا نخيم حيث حلوا

في القبور وخيموا

And tomorrow a cloud where they camped

In graves they pitched their tents
