1. For you, my friend, fulfiller of true friends
Oh what a distressing estrangement

2. With no consolation, just slow days
Death has taken the dearest friend

3. And laid to rest the most faithful companion
I will not forget you, though you came to me

4. To complain of the betrayal of an unkind friend
Oh, the pain of this wound and heart

5. Hurt by the pain of past sorrows
Whenever the wound pained you, comfort it

6. With dignity soothing your grief
Oh you who complain of fate, find peace

7. For we all, oh complainer, are equal
The wounds you suffered

8. Left our souls withered and parched
Life's wounds were not healed

9. And time brought boredom and went
Death heeded their call, and they closed

10. After stubbornly resisting healing
I do not mourn you, O immortal Khaled

11. Rewarded in the eternal realm
How can I mourn you, O noble Fadil

12. Who lived doing good, bestowed with prayers
The world is only good for

13. The few good left, in this famine of nobles
The world is only for those who lived for you

14. Freely giving 'til death their strength
So when dead, they lived through you

15. And with memories deserve eternity
That poet supported you all

16. Weeping for your pains, all tears spent
That poet sang to you all

17. Announcing glad tidings of joy to your folks
The lamps of poetry, which the winds

18. Of the desert blew out, lit the darkness
Their lights immortalized despite decay

19. And the lost found light in the night
Only their words will survive

20. As people die except for poets
Return to us, wandering breeze

21. With whisper, yearning, loyalty
Then fly on two wings to

22. A world we sorely miss
Take flight, gentle breeze, and leave behind

23. Feet burdened by thorns in wretched lands
