1. It is the funeral of morals, so chant their eulogy
And take care of their family and comfort their bereavement

2. Do not prevent the grieving women from crying
Perhaps in the shedding of tears is their healing

3. Leave affairs pouring complaint west of the poem
That did not sing the great calamity its elegy

4. And for the likes of the agony of bereavement as it is intense
The Merciful created for us grievances and their consolation

5. He inspired inconsolable sorrow its youth
And to tears stars extinguishing them

6. A caller from Alexandria
Guardian of its land and its sky

7. Its hearings were blocked for the first instance
Avoiding the calamity fearing its news

8. Alas, that is a destined message
That the life carried to death its dues

9. In a world where its resident folds tent
And the fantasy of a vanishing world to whoever came to it

10. Indeed, manliness lies in a pit
Like the night the light of righteous women illuminated it

11. He went after the deceased a martyr
If you doubt so ask its martyrs

12. Those who lifted her bier to the sky
And pulled its shroud over the stars

13. And carried its glory on shoulders
And brought down its loftiness to the soil

14. They set the bier down to earth and hid
The moon of the sky, plugged its Pisces

15. The desert has been eternally entombed
And the most delightful in life forgot or recalled her wilderness

16. None was more beautiful in the dawn her mornings
And more pleasurable in the dusk’s shadow her evenings

17. Do you see her like the past ones crying her shade
Under the soil and coveting her meadows

18. You wish if her mirage returned to you
As well as her twitter and her howl and her long wailing

19. She who neighbored the refuge of God from
The blame of life its plains and horizons

20. The delegates stop at the pureness of her soil
Envy of souls, their hatred and hypocrisy

21. Oh Ahmed of graces, I am not reaching
Those traits, even if I touched her eulogy

22. Why do I not establish you as a beacon for the youth
And a path of good they walk its way

23. I grieve every glorious past
And prolong the tale of its demise and cry over it

24. And I like to recall it and hate to see
In the claws of time its decay and rubble

25. And perhaps I adorned it with my poems
And made the verses of eternity its container

26. In every lost one I eulogized a legend
To gift morals and the highbred its recitors

27. Bid farewell to your friend if able to bid him farewell
And fulfil the rights if able their fulfilment

28. And tend to friendship, do not tilt with its covenants
After the friend nor lay down its matters

29. And if the devotion of your brother dies with his death
Then lament the loyalty of the soul and whimper over their brotherhood

30. Gently, Abu Umar, with the souls of orphaned cubs
The aberrations of orphanhood have cut off from you their hope

31. They called you but you withheld reply although so often
A house from the furthest countries called you

32. Your heart grew up infatuated with passion
And dearer than a soul that discarded its blemish

33. They tilted toward the bounties of life and its goodness
Until they went so they endured its worst

34. How much does a blamer blame them and you deflected him
While your soul pursues its stinginess and generosity

35. Look behind you, have you left from wealth
Except for chivalry, its mention and praise

36. You have a duty that the just has not upheld
Will you not wish its righteousness and loyalty?

37. You learned your position as a craft you gave life to
And dragged over heaps its dress

38. You are her first children, you emulated
In their composure and chastity, her fathers

39. You filled her with morals and she did not used to see
The morals of men nor sense her disgust

40. Oh Lord a day for advocacy I harbored hopes
In you for rights so you were their loyalty

41. In it you supported whomever turned had not found
Around him the world nor its aides

42. And you took from the justice of the judiciary some youth
Who tasted its prisons, their torment and ordeal

43. The soul of the generous sees justice as its party
And sees injustice and harm as its enemies

44. And when you see the soul rise for truth
Then know its daring and shyness

45. In the duty of the generous nation a band
Did not forget in the intensity of struggle its ordeal

46. It carried the burdens of rights and mobilized
The people of men to carry their loads

47. It was, if the homelands called for a plan,
We did not count its loftiness nor its floods

48. It is from the clear spring of truth the vanguard
That knew the throngs of oppressors, its light

49. The best vanguards marched in its light
The best battalions, its army and banner

50. You established and men built after you
Plans others will complete their building

51. Rotating states and constant truth
The states of politics, how little their continuity

52. The advocates of the cause went by, aroused
And advocates came carrying their effort

53. They reached in their paces the constitution
Challenging Egypt because in it are her bloods

54. Determined to repay Egypt its duty of gratitude
To those who worked and not waste their recompense

55. And if the countries recall their servants
They do not forget their deceased nor their living

56. The being of nations is freedom
They live by it or they die paying its price
