Draw for people with piety Sunnah And they abandoned the saying and tightened the hussam

his elegy
I would crave "useful" if it was of benefit to him For my breath.. and there is no benefit in death
They carried him to a grave surrounded by it Of the majesty, followers and followers
His homelands whale in its hollow, so tomorrow As if it is a heart and it is ribs
O home, in its wealth its masters are absent
