[ رِثَاءُ أُمَيْمَةَ لِأَبِيهَا عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ] وَقَالَتْ أُمَيْمَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ تَبْكِي أَبَاهَا: : أَلَا هَلَكَ الرَّاعِي الْعَشِيرَةَ ذُو الْفَقْدِ وَسَاقِي الْحَجِيجِ وَالْمُحَامِي عَنْ الْمَجْدِ وَمَنْ يُؤْلَفُ الضَّيْفَ الْغَرِيبَ بُيُوتَهُ إذَا مَا سَمَاءُ النَّاسِ تَبْخَلُ بِالرَّعْدِ كَسَبْتَ وَلَيَدًا خَيْرَ مَا يَكْسِبُ الْفَتَى فَلَمْ تَنْفَكِكْ تَزْدَادُ يَا شَيْبَةَ الْحَمْدِ أَبُو الْحَارِثِ الْفَيَّاضُ خَلَّى مَكَانَهُ فَلَا تُبْعِدَنْ فَكُلُّ حَيٍّ إلَى بُعْدٍ فَإِنِّي لَبَاكٍ مَا بَقِيتُ وَمُوجَعٌ وَكَانَ لَهُ أَهْلًا لِمَا كَانَ مِنْ وَجْدِي سَقَاكَ وَلِيُّ النَّاسِ فِي القَبرُ مُمْطِرًا فَسَوْفَ أُبَكِّيهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي اللَّحْدِ فَقَدْ كَانَ زَيْنًا لِلْعَشِيرَةِ كُلِّهَا وَكَانَ حَمِيدًا حَيْثُ مَا كَانَ مِنْ حَمْدٍ
Translation
✧ [The Elegy of Umaymah for Her Father ʿAbd al-Muttalib ] Umaymah bt. ʿAbd al-Muttalib said, weeping for her father: : Alas, the shepherd of the clan has perished, he of the lost, the waterer of the pilgrims, and the defender of glory; and he whose houses welcome the strange guest when the sky of people withholds its thunder. You earned, and a boy earns the best that a youth earns, and you did not cease to increase, O Shaybah of praise. Abū al-Ḥārith the overflowing has left his place, so be not far, for every living thing goes to distance. I shall weep as long as I live, and one grieved, and he was worthy of that because of my love. May the Guardian of people water you in the grave with rain, and I shall weep for him even if he is in the tomb. He was an ornament to the whole clan, and he was praised wherever praise was due.
