1. أَ آلَ تَمِيمٍ إنَّ حُزْنيَ بَعَدهُ

    لَتُنسي بهِ الأَيامُ حُزْنَ مُتَمّمِ

    O house of Tamim, indeed my grief after him—

    Through it, the days will surely make Mutammim’s grief forgotten.

  2. وإنْ حَمَلوا بالصَّالحيةِ قَبرَهُ

    َفَدَمعي لهُ سَفْحٌ بِسَفْحِ المُقَطَّمِ

    And though they carried his grave in al-Salihiyya,

    Yet my tears for him pour forth at the foot of al-Muqattam.
