1. Travel silently to God and leave
Egypt in deep grief and sorrow

2. This is the goal of souls and this is
The end of bitter and pleasant life

3. Do you see people on your path except
A bier of an old man followed by a bier of a child

4. Surely the weakest of threads in my view
Is the thread of life hanging by a vein

5. A morsel between a heartbeat and stillness
And blood between flowing and clotting

6. They lowered the minister in the ground and watered
Ninety arguments over him as he rose

7. You were in a land of silk for nights
But it became of iron in the morning

8. We tested you in leadership for a while
So we tested the minister Abdel Hamid

9. Taking from the tongue of the eloquent Persian
Abundant shares from the tongue of Labid

10. In the shadows of kings everyone in need
Draws near to your outstretched shadow

11. You are not one who passed landmarks
Rather, you are a state in a constitution

12. Stand up and speak of bygone years
And the conquests of mighty hunters

13. That which passed between an ancient state
You know it best and the state of the new

14. Describe the glory in Ali's time
And remember Yemen in Sa'eed's time

15. How their ships were on every sea
And their horsemen in every wasteland

16. They turned against you and left you loyal
In a time most difficult on the loyal

17. So join today the noble ones nobly
And meet them between Heaven and immortality

18. And accept the farewell of one weeping over
Your loss, faithful to your blessed covenant
