1. جادَت ضريحك يا خطيب غمامةٌ

    زكياءُ يخطب رعدها فيكرر

    May a cloud shower your tomb, O preacher,

    pure, its thunder preaching again and again.

  2. إما ليسعى نحو قبرك دانياً

    شوق يحث ولوعة لا تتعثر

    If indeed toward your grave there hastens, drawing near,

    a longing that urges on and an anguish that never stumbles,

  3. ولو أن مشتاقاً تكلف فوق ما

    في وسعه لسعى إليك المنبر

    and if one who longs undertook more than what

    lay within his power, the pulpit would hasten to you.
