1. حيِّ قبراً به الإِمامُ أبو الـ

    ـكمالِ صدرُ القضاةِ والفقهاء

    Salute a grave wherein lies the Imam, Abu al-

    Kamal, foremost among judges and jurists.

  2. ألإمامُ الثاوي برحمةٍ مولا

    هُ فقبيداً مكفَّناً بالثناءِ

    The Imam who rests in his Lord’s mercy,

    departed, shrouded in praise.

  3. لو قَضى الشرعُ حقَّهُ

    من جميلٍ لرثاهُ بالآيةِ الغرّاءِ

    Had sacred law paid him his due

    for his kindness, it would have elegized him with the radiant verse.

  4. ولهذا معَ المؤرِّخِ قًلنا

    فَقَدَ العصرُ حجَّةَ العلماءِ

    And so, with the historian, we said:

    The age has lost the scholars’ authority.
