تَسيرُ المَنايا خَلفَهُ وَأَمامَهُ

تَسيرُ المَنايا خَلفَهُ وَأَمامَهُ

كَأَنَّ المَنايا رُسلُهُ وَجَنائِبُه

كَأَنَّ المَنايا رُسلُهُ وَجَنائِبُه

Deaths march behind him and before him,

Death marches behind him and ahead,

As though deaths were his messengers and his spare mounts.

As though death were his followers and troops
