1. سقيت ندى الغفران يا لحد يوسفٍ

    بهتّان رحماتٍ من العفو يوكف

    May you be watered with the dew of forgiveness, O tomb of Yusuf,

    With a downpour of mercies raining down from pardon.

  2. لقد حلّ فيه راقداً نعم مفردٌ

    وأبقى لنا دمعاً يصبُّ ويذرف

    Indeed, an excellent, peerless man has come to rest within it,

    And left us tears that pour forth and are shed.

  3. وأمسى بعيداً عن ديار فنيّةٍ

    فاصبح في الفردوس من يسرى ويهتف

    And he became far removed from perishable abodes,

    So in Paradise he became one who journeys by night and calls out.

  4. ونال برضوان الإله محلةً

    تميل لها الأبرار شوقاً وتعطف

    And through God's good pleasure he gained a dwelling

    Toward which the righteous incline with longing and turn.

  5. ولما بدا في جنة الخلد أرخوا

    فضاءَ باخلاط الملائك يوسف

    And when he appeared in the Garden of Eternity, they recorded the date:

    And Yusuf shone amid the throngs of angels.
