1. وَفجّعني فيروزُ لا درّ درّهُ

    بِأبيض تالٍ للكتاب منيبِ

    And Firuz has bereaved me—may he never prosper—

    of a fair man, a reciter of the Book, ever turning to God;

  2. رَؤوفٍ عَلى الأدنى غليظٍ عَلى العِدى

    أَخي ثقةٍ في النائبات مجيبِ

    compassionate toward those nearest him, stern toward foes;

    a trustworthy man, answering the call in adversity.

  3. مَتى ما يَقُل لا يكذبُ القولَ فعلُهُ

    سَريعٌ إِلى الخيراتِ غير قطوبِ

    Whenever he speaks, his deeds do not belie his words;

    swift to good deeds, never scowling.
