1. No life or vigor remains in your weary body,
So your troubles can be relieved through you.
١. لا عَيشَ أَو يَتَحامى جِسمَكَ الوَصَبُ
فَتَنجَلي بِكَ عَن خُلصانِكَ الكُرَبُ
2. Curse Abu Ja'far and bid him farewell, for you are now at peace.
Through you, chivalry thrived, and nobility stood tall.
٢. لَعاً أَبا جَعفَرٍ وَاِسلَم فَقَد سَلِمَت
بِكَ المروءَةُ واِستَعلى بِكَ الحَسَبُ
3. We were ignorant when we abandoned you in illness, but,
By God, only leadership and grace fell ill.
٣. إِنّا جَهِلنا فَخِلناكَ اِعتَلَلتَ وَلا
وَاللَهِ ما اِعتَلَّ إِلاّ المُلكُ وَالأَدَبُ
