1. أَبكي الَّذينَ تَبوأوا الغُرَفَ العُلى

    فَجَرَت لَهُم مِن تَحتِها الأَنهارُ

    I weep for those who took their abode in the lofty chambers.

    So rivers flowed for them from beneath those chambers.

  2. أَبكي لِنَفسي لا لَهُم أَبكيهِمُ

    لا صَبرَ حَيثُ تَعارُفُ الأَبرارِ

    I weep for myself; not for their sake do I mourn them.

    There is no patience where the righteous know one another.
