1. The lion dies in the forest or elsewhere
When blocked, all the countries become pillows

2. The West has hidden a sun without disease
It was blazing on the sides of the East

3. The predetermined fate limited it, so it became an émigré
Indeed, souls go to their predetermined lifespans

4. Every emigration is transient in life except for
The day when the soul separates from the body

5. The lightening lamented to the valley and its inhabitants
When its rebel rose, swaying the plains and mountains

6. The lightening of bereavement, when it ignited
Its factions were almost united like yesterday

7. The men stood confused, listening to it
Until when its hopes diminished, they sat down

8. The day spread over the plain, all of it grief
And the night covered the countryside, all of it darkness

9. Death did not leave for the laugher what they found
Nor did it return to the criers what they lost

10. Beyond the doubts of nights or their suddenness
For every gloating mocker, a tear lies in wait

11. A jewel lay in the coffin on the ship
At night, in the shadow of decay, it almost burns

12. The Nile boasts to the seashells of the gulf about it
And whatever creeps or comes to the two seas

13. Indeed, the most splendid and honorable jewels
Are those born in the cradle, not those cast by the foam

14. Until when the ship reached the destination, it descended
As if it, in the firm grip, is the only one

15. That remnant from the sword of zeal is a broken one
On the deathbed, and from the spear of zeal, a thrust

16. It was carried by a coffin, circled around
Brought forward like the banner of truth, solitary

17. Egypt walked beside it, chanting for it
Like a bereaved woman, searching and longing

18. And many may die, unnoticed
As if, from the insignificance of events, they did not exist

19. The land's bereavement has a mind and its setback
Is excellence in children, not multitude

20. The one crowned with frankness has no
Pillar of glory to contain it, or pillar to support it

21. And the one with virtue upon necks has no
Arts or their necks to lean on

22. His ship devoid of the mighty cannon
In it, guidance, kindness, and wisdom lodged

23. Indeed, cannons were not created for their company
The army of peace and its leaders are glory

24. Oh builder of the edifice, no praiser
Distracted him from building, or critic turned him

25. Deaf to anger around him and pleased
In an awakening that creates heroes or suppresses them

26. Your declaration is the great step and an era
Upon its like, epochs approach or distance

27. Right and might have retreated to a rule
Among doctrines, whether in its religion or principles

28. If not for your enlightened diplomacy, they would have disputed
And the length of the struggle tired the wolf and the fawn

29. You kept knocking on the door of peace between them
Until the doors and blockades opened

30. You found it an opportunity to cast the ropes for it
Indeed, politics in it has the hunt and expulsion

31. You sought it at the pinnacle of events, as
The lion walks to the hunt under the storm

32. When you found the building equipment, your hands built
For the people what they blamed and what they praised

33. You built your edifice from the country's effort
As the foundation and pillars are built from stone

34. In it, precious sacrifices from the youth
And continuous efforts from the elders

35. And in its halls, struggling pens
Upon their tongues, benevolence and integrity

36. And in it, flags honor prided over them
If not for death, they would not have faltered or slept

37. You threw in the peg of old humiliation with it
Until its causes shook and the pegs fell out

38. The occupier folded his protection and
God's protection expanded, so the country felt safe

39. Whoever falls asleep grieving your generosity
What is built for truth remains forever

40. Oh treasure of the precious homeland, enough lesson
For people that you are a treasure in the buried soil

41. Rule did not make you arrogant in all its aspects
Nor did the softness of living and prosperity slight you

42. You rise for God and history confidently
Seeking, so you advance, or fearing, so you hold back

43. You were raised at the world's forefront and in its mouth
Where glory and envy revolve

44. For each day there is a passing tomorrow in its splendor
And for your day, O best of babies, there is no tomorrow

45. Death has cast you into the channels of the heart, so it cracked
A death that has no heart or liver

46. When it moored at your coffin, the most fragrant
Of roses or their water burst forth

47. Not every heart that came or went, in its blood
Is the friend, family, and children

48. Nor did cowardice make you hesitate that
Wisdom and sound opinion would rescue you from it

49. Did death eulogize the slaughtered righteous, and did
That residing tenderness, still and zealous, lament it?

50. Never! If death had sentiment
No loved one would cry over their loved ones

51. The cities of light marched guarding its trust
Then turned back, blinded in both eyes

52. If death could be resisted, its transgression against you
For knowledge around you, an eye that did not sleep and a hand

53. Abu Aziz, may God's peace, no messengers
Carry my greetings and messages to you

54. And a breeze of poetry's rhymes, you were
Gathering for it in the garden of comfort and basil

55. I sent it and I sent tears surrounding it
As drops streamed around the lilies

56. I leaned towards the past in you and
Affection from the sweet childhood returned to me

57. Pure over time, its cell did not become desolate
And the honey in its verses did not change

58. Until I saw you towering like the crescent
On a novelty that promises countries what it promises

59. Poetry is tears, passion, and sentiment
Oh how I wish my poetry conveyed what I feel!
