1. لَقَد غالَ لِهذا اللَحدُ مِن بَطنِ عُليَبٍ

    فَتىً كانَ مِن أَهلِ النَدى وَالتَكَرُّمِ

    This grave has indeed claimed, from the valley of ʿUlayb,

    A young man who belonged among the generous and magnanimous;

  2. فَتىً كانَ فيما نابَ يَوماً هُوَ الفَتى

    وَنِعمَ مَحَلُّ الطارِقِ المُتَيَمِّمِ

    A young man who, whatever befell on any day, was the very man for it,

    And a fine refuge for the night visitor seeking him.

  3. أَأَلحَقُّ أَنّي لا أَزالُ عَلى مِنّي

    إِذا نَزَلَ الحُجّاجُ في كُلِّ مَوسِمٍ

    Is it true that I shall still remain at Minā,

    Whenever the pilgrims arrive for each pilgrimage season?

  4. سَقى اللَهُ أَرضاً أَنتَ ساكِنُ بَطنِها

    سِجالَ العَوادي مِن سَحيلٍ مُزَمزَمِ

    May God water the earth within whose depths you dwell,

    With the rushing rainclouds’ torrents, from deep, rumbling thunder.
