1. From the family of Ma'tuq, a young boy
Whose life was cut short by the cruelty of fate
١. مِنْ آلِ مَعْتُوقٍ نَضِيرُ صَبِي
هَصَرَتْهُ عَادِيَةُ الردَى هَصْرَا
2. Though life is short in its brevity
It endures through legacy, and his was no long life
٢. عُمْرُ الْحَيَاة عَلَى تَقَاصُرِهَا
بِالْبَاقيَاتِ وَلَمْ يَطُلْ عُمْرَا
3. Said the consoler when dating his gravestone
Sama'an has returned, immortalized in memory
٣. قَالَ الْمُعَزِّي حِينَ أَرَّخَهُ
سَمْعَانُ عَادَ مُخَلَّدَ الذِّكْرَى
