1. If the torch of virtues is extinguished,
Then lights have illuminated its heights.
١. إنْ يطوِ مصباحَ المكارم ضارح
فلقد أضاءت في علاهُ مصابحُ
2. Roam wherever virtue has settled,
For there is abundant generosity and prominent glory.
٢. طُفْ حيثُ حلَّ فثمَّ جودٌ باهرٌ
وعُلًى مؤثلةٌ ومجدٌ راجحُ
3. A king whom exalted honor escorts,
And to whom even the most generous weep.
٣. ملكٌ له الشرف الرفيع مشيَّعُ
وعليه حتَّى المكرمات نوائح
4. The land complained of his absence when he complained,
So he passed and was buried while hearts grieved.
٤. شكت البريَّة داءه لمَّا شكا
فقضى وأُلحد والقلوب ضرائح
5. Hud, his neighbor, called him, so they found relief.
O Muhammad, may your blessed neighborhood be joyful.
٥. مَن جاره هودٌ دعاه فأرَّخوا
اسعد جوارك ذا محمدُ صالح
