I have seen people's garments at every mourning gathering,
I saw people's clothes at every funeral
when they assemble: blue garments and black ones.
When they celebrated, their clothes were blue and black

وإني على ملك لبستُ ملاءةً

And indeed, for a king I have donned a cloak
Yet I wore the garment
of sorrow whose freshness time does not wear away.
Of grief that time cannot wear out or renew
