1. A grave wherein lies a noble master
In the like of him sorrows are uncovered

2. The decrees of death besiege his lofty place
And for death we are bespoken

3. So no doctor and no beloved
Neither a distant one nor a near

4. Can repeal what his Lord has ordained
And He is watchful over His servant

5. Alas for his absence
For the absent of a people do not return

6. The nobility of a people weep over him
Weeping and wailing over him

7. A day when it was said, record
He has passed on to his Lord the bringer
