1. قَضى اللَهُ أَنَّ الآدَمِيَّ مُعَذَّبٌ

    إِلى أَن يَقولَ العالِمونَ بِهِ قَضى

    God decreed that man shall be tormented,

    Until those acquainted with him say, "He has died."

  2. فَهَنِّئ وُلاةَ المَيتِ يَومَ رَحيلِهِ

    أَصابوا تُراثاً وَاِستَراحَ الَّذي مَضى

    So congratulate the dead man's next of kin on the day of his departure:

    They gained an inheritance, and he who passed away found rest.
