1. Has the fate lightened the fall of a living one
Or has its arrow missed the heart of an archer

2. Did time continue the bond of a friend
And was time faithful, while it is unfaithful

3. It is like thoughts amidst the deceit of an enemy
Between its children and the advice of an ally

4. We have seen a state we will eventually come to
And our former state admonished us

5. Except we aspire with eyes of guidance
Whose desires have been lined with love

6. Where was he created from dust
His creation did not begin from semen

7. And he was nourished at the birth of spirit in him
From the breast of life the first thing

8. We have been pushed to a life and death
And resurrection to God the Sublime

9. And permanence of remaining in another house
And the requital of a debauched and devout

10. How many kings, leaders, brave ones
And cowards, obedient and disobedient

11. Their lives have scattered them, however scattered
And their destiny has covered them, however covered

12. So they are equal in the burial place
And the latter was surely different from the former

13. You, for whom one person dies and becomes a corpse
Then, another person in the grave without becoming a corpse

14. Which corpse is for one who becomes dust
From whom the form of a human has been erased

15. How can you survive the ride of worldly life
And it travels with an uncivilized side

16. It drops the firm rider frequently
And riding frequently is a foolish act

17. Deceived is one who thought to be loyal to fate
While it is not loyal to the loyal ones

18. How many glances has an eager one distracted
Who fills the eyes with the slumber of a friend

19. And ordainment includes people, and from it
A sudden one comes from intrinsic

20. And the mortal silence from it is movement
Its action is done secretly by mystery

21. And it targets the legs of the unshakable firm
And bends the steps of the buried one

22. Destiny does not fear a great king
Who takes refuge in affection during his generosity

23. Death speaks from its horrors, so it proceeds
Its rule in the land with a revealed order

24. Neither the far-sighted nor the eloquent between the two jaws
Has power against the might of fate and its will

25. And when has a knight feared the fire of war
A horseman in knightly courage and youthful determination

26. The horseman of water and land and the young pure man
And protector of Ara'er's manhood

27. He inherited honor from his father like a lion cub
Who took violence from his high father

28. The embers of might were extinguished from fuel
In the souls of enemies from every living one

29. And the sword of butchering was blunted
From the skulls of the brave from summit of boldness

30. A horseman whose armor a burning heart fears
Fluttering in the burial place of a resolved young man

31. His sword’s edge is feared like gifts presented
To every maiden brought to him as a gift

32. Advancing not retreating with wishes
Against struggling with enemies and charging

33. As if attack had inclined toward him
The day they extended toward him the well-knotted spears

34. They took away his sword in which was a groan
From them like the longing on the spine

35. And they saw every attack from them
Had slipped upon the blade of his slim spear

36. They supplied every blow from him like snakes
That prey, and stabs like piercing ones

37. Every fire that was kindled from the invasion
Was extinguished in his honorable sword

38. He greeted death while helmets were wrathful
And it found pleasure in his bloodshed

39. Feeling with swords like gifts presented
To every maiden brought to him as a gift

40. So he is best groom whose clothes
Are fighters from every honored vein

41. His scent from his groan and he is musk
In the perfumes of an elegant smooth one

42. O you who died in battlefield and are happy
With every courageous wretched one

43. And generous with himself for the supreme
In God's satisfaction the deed of the generous one

44. How many you have struck beats and frozen
And stabbed the close and distant one

45. My brother and excellent mother like a affectionate mother
None of the daughters of fate have touched you

46. How many friends like me who cry for you with willing
Obedient tears from his tasks not disobeyed

47. The eye sheds from it a stream of water
That wets the cheek and it is burning branding

48. My two laments elegizing you in sadness
The best refined elegy, shining

49. Grieving ones whose dawn in every morning
Drenches their tears and every night

50. A man does not know more devastating misfortunes
That have touched them or fruits of purpose

51. Their white faces have been darkened with ink
So they are in every Coptic face-veil

52. And they wore mourning clothes after silk
The evil of an apparel after the best apparel

53. Every female mourner on you, her burial place
Contains from you every chronic illness

54. The violet of bruises receives from it
The roses have withered above picked roses

55. O friend whom time has disappointed in loyalty
Of the free that is not loyal

56. You have died yet remain exemplary
In the conscience of my heart, remembered

57. Indeed the land in which you are buried
Its wind from you is the fragrance of scented musk

58. So your crucified one in it has watered
The best purposeful mercy and ally

59. I have not when arranging your elegy
Chosen it over praising a living one

60. I cry for you as long as I live
My eye flowing with filial tears

61. And after my death, rhymes will cry for you
In a wailing, its words spiritual
