1. O grave, you have remained filled
With the abundant rain of life with heavy downpour
١. أيُّها القبر لا بَرِحْتَ مَصوباً
من غزيرِ الحيا بصيّب مُزْنِ
2. They buried in your soil the most generous corpse
Empty between him, death, and me
٢. دفنوا في ثراك أكرمَ مَيْتٍ
خال ما بينه المَنونُ وبيني
3. Of a father who was to me compassionate and merciful
May he be rewarded for his kindness and bounty over me
٣. من أبٍ كانَ بي رؤوفاً رحيماً
جُزِيَ الخيرَ والمثوبة عني
4. I will cry for him as long as I live even if
My crying over him is of no benefit
٤. سوف أبكيه ما حييت وإن كا
ن بكائي عليه ليس بمغن
5. He has attained from his Lord an honourable station
That the wishful one wishes for his place
٥. نال من ربِّه مقاماً كريماً
يتمنّى مكانه المتمنِّي
6. I said when he passed away and I dated it:
You have attained, Abdel Wahab, the gardens of Eden
٦. قلت لما مضى وأرَّختُه قد
نِلتَ عبد الوهاب جنَّاتِ عدن
