1. وقفَ المجدُ ناعياً عند قبرٍ

    وارت المكرمات فيه حشاها

    Glory stood lamenting beside a grave,

    where noble virtues had buried their heart.

  2. ودعا أنت جنَّة قلت أرِّخ

    طاب مأوى نعيمها لرضاها

    And cried, “You are a paradise!” I said, “Record the date:

    Fair is the abode of her bliss, to her delight.”
