    Son of the man of letters, son of the minister, of a lineage

    Traced to the noble, favored ʿAtūr.

    مُتَدَرِّعاً ثَوبَ الحَيا بِتَسَربُلِ

    He was indeed devout, chaste, and virtuous,

    Clad in the robe of modesty as in armor.

    So he was called and answered the call to eternal life in a garden,

    As a neighbor to the best of creation, the noblest messenger.

    Your resting place in Paradise is the most blessed abode.
