1. Othman, you have transcended humanity
With the virtues you were endowed

2. You are the most esteemed and famed among them
The wisest and most reasonable of them all

3. It is apt for you to say uncontended
I am the son of glory and the rising of the stars

4. The spears thrust into enemies recklessly
Rushing them to their demise

5. Blows that turn hair gray
Tremendous, tremendous calamities

6. Stances that make even lions cower
As lionesses fled from roaring lions

7. A house unparalleled in the heights
You own the squares and the lofty terraces

8. Virtues spread in this world and so
People grasped the tent pegs around you

9. Generosity that descriptions fall short of
And gifts feel ashamed of gifts

10. Poetry akin to bejeweled composition
On steeds gentle of gait

11. Writings like flowers in a watered garden
Nourished morning and eve with splendor

12. A long life acquiring the heights
While shunning the lowly worldly life

13. We praise God that we lived to
Witness one with such feat

14. Kings of every age revere him
As if they are his subjects

15. His steps never faltered
And no missteps tarnish his stride
