1. The Everlasting's gift to
The matchless, the perilous eulogy -
١. لله در الخالديّ
الأوحد النّدب الخطير
2. He gave the Muzn's waters release
From stagnancy, Hellfire's blaze -
٢. أهدى لماء المزن عن
د جموده نار السعير
3. Until my breast was freed of spite
And hearts' rancor passed away,
٣. حتى إذا صدر العنا
ب اليه عن حنق الصدور
4. My thoughts sent him excuses,
Eternal happiness their way.
٤. بعثت اليه بعذره
منخاطري ابدي السرور
5. Reproach him not, for he has given
His cheeks to death's open doors.
٥. لا تعذلوه فإنه
أهدى الخدود إلى الثغور
