1. O sign of the age, it is our duty
To renew your memory through time

2. You struggled, but the success you achieved
Was more precious than victory

3. The first glimpses of the life appeared
That vigorously brought the dawn

4. Your vigilance established its ascendance
After the drowsiness in Egypt

5. So it emerged from slumber
But it did not emerge from the etiquette of sleepiness

6. It forgives the mistaken regarding its right
With forbearance, and seeks to avoid hostility

7. Its place became equal to its counterpart
Like two halves of a whole

8. It has patience in duty
Though the path of patience was difficult and bitter

9. The harbors of determination see its watering place
Smiling in its blossoming face

10. And the eye glimpses the adornments of its soul
More vivid and brilliant than adornments of gold

11. In what era was its discernment
Or news of it, ever absent?

12. It knew that merits, though majestic
Cannot suffice for purity

13. If collected in a skillful composition
Precious stones and pearls

14. And they produced no light to reveal through it
Their deceptive beautiful thoughts

15. Are not coal and diamond in their mines
Equal in worth?

16. O you who lost in the bloom of youth
What the harshest decay lost in the bloom of youth

17. If you move away, no scent has moved away
That left such pure fragrance

18. In books filled with tradition like
An eternal blossoming garden

19. Nor did any song you sang recede
From people's hearing, O virgin song

20. Immortal in its repetition in Egypt
From an immortal eminent woman

21. With her painful desire in captivity
She freed the birds from captivity

22. What burden is it for the adorned one to appear
While her conduct is free from burden?

23. What perfection and beauty is seen
As is seen in the rising of a flower?

24. So in the name of students of high ambition
And in the name of people of noble character

25. I present to your soul in its eternity
The most precious gift of gratitude

26. Were you not but a rising star
In the horizon of the full moon?

27. Your merit is from the merit of your father
Who was the father of literature in this country

28. Most eloquent of those who gave generously
And best of those who renewed in poetry

29. You fell short in fulfilling his right
Like one overpowered, unable to act

30. The foremost excuse was that we postponed
His elegy, which was not my excuse

31. The hand of separation that saddened us was paralyzed
With the loss of that scholarly master

32. That steadfast scholar who if he delved
Into an issue, he reported on the sea

33. Lord of meanings and eloquence, who
Taught us what we did not know

34. That generous disseminator of knowledge to students
With a generosity that was not business

35. He educated the youth that he
Was the highest beacon for those of wisdom

36. In his heart was kindness altogether and no
Suspicion was in that heart

37. The purest thing for his loved ones
Was his intention, in private and public

38. So may God's mercy and pleasure
Be upon our deceased until the Gathering

39. From a righteous father and from a chaste daughter
Who illuminated the darkness of the grave
