1. O rain, visit a grave in the sanctuary, and say "Peace be upon you, O Omar"
If you make flowers bloom around his grave, let not the stars and flowers abound

2. He who was a pillar of strength in adversities, and in whom victory was hoped
A sea, but not turbulent; pride, but no arrogance

3. In him religion and world came together, a rarity among people
If the two concur, he observes; if oppose, he gives religion the preference

4. Refined manners, no harm in his manners; pure heart, no evil in his heart
Pleased God, who pleased him with his loyalty, from youth to old age

5. His death was a lesson for people, as he was a huge mountain demolished by fate
The highest glory did not protect him, nor the family, companions, angels or the full moon

6. They carried him above a bier soaked with tears pouring over it
Until they came to a blessed land, where verses of Quran are read over him

7. A garden crowded by people from every town, none left
They circumambulated his coffin like pilgrims around the Kaaba, as if it were a sanctum with the Black Stone in its midst

8. He went to his Forgiving Lord, seeking refuge in His kindness, under the shade of pardon
An abode darkened after him, until night and dawn became equal in its seeds

9. O people, the sleep has prolonged on an eye; the time has come for it to stay awake
Be not heedless in greed for life, and awake, for death waits at the doors

10. In each day, there are lessons for us from the dead; apparent, but would that lessons avail!
We are intoxicated with the deceitful life, never waking except when death rebukes

11. Each one is duped until death, with no chance given to fulfill wishes
Time has aged, and we grew old, while exuberant youth shows no trace of old age

12. O infatuated with it! If you have no experience, has not news reached you?
Every passion is harmful, said Muzawwaj; does a passion without harm exist?
