لَم تَمُت أَنتَ إِنَّما ماتَ مَن لَم

لَم تَمُت أَنتَ إِنَّما ماتَ مَن لَم

يُبقِ في المَجدِ وَالمَحامِدِ ذِكرا

يُبقِ في المَجدِ وَالمَحامِدِ ذِكرا

You have not died; only he has died who has not

You did not die. Rather, he who did not leave

left a remembrance in glory and praiseworthy deeds.

In glory and in praises any mention died.

لَستُ مُستَسقِياً لِقَبرِكَ غَيثاً

لَستُ مُستَسقِياً لِقَبرِكَ غَيثاً

كَيفَ يَظما وَقَدتَضَمَّنَ بَحرا

كَيفَ يَظما وَقَدتَضَمَّنَ بَحرا

I seek no rain for your grave.

I am not begging from your grave any rain.

How can it thirst when it holds a sea?

How can it thirst, while it contains an ocean?
