أَمّا القُبورُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ أَوانِسٌ

أَمّا القُبورُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ أَوانِسٌ

بِجُوارِ قَبرِكَ وَالدِيارُ قُبورُ

بِجُوارِ قَبرِكَ وَالدِيارُ قُبورُ

As for the graves, they are indeed companionable

The graves are certainly companions

Beside your grave, while the dwellings are graves.

Near your grave, and the dwellings are graves,

عَمَّت فَواضِلُهُ وَعَمَّ مَصابُهُ

عَمَّت فَواضِلُهُ وَعَمَّ مَصابُهُ

فَالناسُِ فيهِ كُلُّهُم مَأجورُ

فَالناسُِ فيهِ كُلُّهُم مَأجورُ

His benefactions reached all, and his loss afflicted all;

Its afflictions have become widespread, and its disasters have become common,

So all people are rewarded for bearing his loss.

So all the people in it are rewarded,

رَدَّت صَنائِعُهُ إِلَيهِ حَياتَهُ

رَدَّت صَنائِعُهُ إِلَيهِ حَياتَهُ

فَكَأَنَّهُ مِن نَشرِها مَنشورُ

فَكَأَنَّهُ مِن نَشرِها مَنشورُ

His good deeds restored his life to him,

His life's work has been returned to him,

So, through their being recounted, he seems raised from the dead.

So it is as if he is resurrected from it.
