أَأُخَيَّ لا تَنسَ القُبو

أَأُخَيَّ لا تَنسَ القُبو

رَ فَإِنَّها لَكَ مَوعِدُ

رَ فَإِنَّها لَكَ مَوعِدُ

O my dear brother, do not forget the graves,

for they are your appointed meeting place.

وَكَأَنَّ شَيئاً لَم تَنَل

وَكَأَنَّ شَيئاً لَم تَنَل

هُ العَينُ ساعَةَ يُفقَدُ

هُ العَينُ ساعَةَ يُفقَدُ

And it is as though a thing had never been beheld

by the eye, the moment it is lost.
