1. سلامٌ على قَومٍ مضَوْا لسبيلِهِمْ

    فلم يبقَ إلا ذكرُهُمْ وحَديثُهُمْ

    Peace be upon a people who have gone their way.

    So nothing remains but their memory and talk of them.

  2. لقدْ صرَعَتْهُمْ صَرَعُة المَوتِ فاستوى

    قَديُمهُمْ في شأنِهِمْ وحَديثُهُمْ

    Indeed, death’s blow has struck them down, making equal

    The earlier and the later among them in their fate.
