1. لنحت كما ناحت على صخرها التي

    قد اتخذت من بعده العمر مأتما

    I would have lamented as she lamented over her Sakhr, she who

    had made her life after him a mourning gathering.

  2. ورحت أضاهي في البكا بعد مالكٍ

    زمام المعالي والفخار متمما

    And I would have gone on to rival, in weeping after Malik,

    Mutammim, the guiding rein of noble deeds and glory.
