1. Tears preached your eulogy
And crowds walked to bid you farewell

2. In a stance, its speakers
Were dumbfounded, and tears did not comprehend

3. The eye sheds its tears
And most of the tears are heartfelt

4. For afflicted souls, tears are naught
But hearts that melt

5. Under the ribs is a burning fire
That ribs cannot bear

6. As for the cracks from sorrow
Indeed, the cracks have multiplied

7. What has happened that provoked
This peaceful nation so?

8. You walked bravely down the path
And left, as spring left

9. The people walk solemnly
Before them, the lofty coffin

10. Wisdom distinguished you
Of broad intellect and manners

11. You did what your hands could reach
And excellent was your work

12. One can only do
What he is capable of

13. If Faisal is gone
Then for his son Ghazi, a new dawn

14. Ghazi, the people's leader, he only
Obeys Ghazi, and no other

15. In Arab unity
To defend it, he is eager

16. In my night of sorrow, darkness
Was gloomy and disturbing

17. And when part of it faded
Another part came, replacing

18. Until the morning broke
And its whiteness started spreading

19. I asked who rules Iraq
And I was told Ghazi the radiant

20. A king whose crown atop
His brow is like a shining star

21. My joy with the crown
For the crown is a right that persists

22. The lineage of leadership is Faisal’s
And the branches follow the origin

23. Set sail, for the task
Of reform, its beginning is paramount

24. And command, for all Arab folks
When you command them, are compliant
