The most courageous and devout man that can be found

Of boundless excellence towards loved ones, however estranged

فَضلِ العَميمِ إِلى الأَحِبَّةِ العِدى
3. Saadullah - may God make him prosper - Halabu whom
After his passing, hopes have drifted fruitlessly away
٣. الشَهمُ سَعدُ اللَهِ حَلابو الَّذي
مِن بَعدِهِ الآمالَ قَد ذَهَبَت سُدى
4. By God they spoke no falsehood when they let down
The curtain for Saadullah, followed by the bier
٤. وَاللَهِ ما كَذَبوا إِذا ما أَرخو
قَد ماتَ سَعدُ اللَهِ يَتبَعُهُ النَدا
5. May the Benevolent double his reward
And grace him the best that He possesses, and beyond
٥. فَعَسى الكَريمُ يُضاعِفنَ ثَوابَهُ
وَيَفيهِ أَحسنَ ما لَدَيهِ وَأَحمَدا
