1. In the mercy of God he passed away and was gone
A man who had glory among people
١. في رحمة الله مضى وانقضى
قَرْمٌ له بين الورى شانُ
2. He was the pillar of glory until it collapsed
Despite his glory, its pillars fell
٢. قد كانَ طود المجد حتَّى هوتْ
له برغم المجد أركان
3. He died a martyr, so his soul
Has pardon and forgiveness from his Lord
٣. مات شهيداً فإلى روحه
من ربّه عفوٌ وغفران
4. And how many people passed who had greatness
As if those people never existed
٤. وكم مضت قومٌ لهم صَولةٌ
حتَّى كأَنَّ القومَ ما كانوا
5. The son of Ghannam died, so I memorialized him
In eternity went Solomon
٥. ماتَ ابنُ غنَّام فأرّخته
في الخلد قد راحَ سليمان
