في حالة البعد روحي كنت ارسلها

تقبل الارض عني وهي نائبتي
While far away, I used to send my soul
In absence my soul to you was sent
To kiss the earth on my behalf, as my proxy.

And now this turn of bodily forms has come;
This state of ghosts has now arrived
So extend your right hand, that my lip may be blessed by it.
So lend your hand, that it my lips imbibed
