1. أشتاق لأهلي وأوطاني وقد ملكت

    دوني وأفنى الردى أهلي وأحبابي

    I long for my family and my homelands, now held

    by others; death has swept away my family and my loved ones.

  2. فأستريح إلى رؤيا القبور ففي

    أمثالها حل إخواني وأترابي

    So I find solace in the sight of graves, for in

    graves like these lie my brothers and my age-mates.

  3. ولست أحيا حياة أستلذ بها

    من بعدهم ولحاق القوم أولى بي

    And I live no life in which I find delight

    after their passing; joining their company is more fitting for me.
