1. O you who tread the earth's paths
No one can evade death's arrows

2. Stop and ponder the transient days
United in merit and nobility

3. The days were to him peerless
Neither before nor after

4. Knowledge lived through him
For all people, and was plenty

5. How he benefited those who sought refuge
And how he removed from them ignorance

6. He showed the ways of guidance
Seeing truth and justice

7. And to the people of merit
From the just he added merit

8. And to the generous of generous stock
He showed the origin of nobility

9. And to the elite writers
Of highest skill he was glorious

10. And now he has gone to contentment
For naught was seen in him but

11. Abdullah called him, oh
Full moon of Tamimi chieftains, welcome

12. He responded to his Lord's call
And chose the eternal kingdom

13. Thus in his history
Paradise was his dwelling
