1. He knew, my Lord, of Your decree, abundantly
Bestow upon him from You a doubled reward
١. قَدْ كَانَ يَا رَبِّي بِقَدْرِكَ عَارِفَا
أَجْزِلْ لَهُ مِنْكَ الثوَابَ مُضَاعِفَا
2. He lived obediently.. and died a monotheist
He was never disobedient to the upright law
٢. قَدْ عَاشَ مُلْتَزِمَاً.. وَمَاتَ مُوَحِّدَاً
مَا كَانَ لِلشَّرْعِ الحَنِيْفِ مُخَالِفَا
3. And protect his progeny after him
From the horror of a father's death, shelter them
٣. وَاحْفَظْ بُنَيَّاتٍ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ
مِنْ هَوْلِ مَوْتِ الأَبِّ صِرْنَ رَوَاجِفَا
4. They cry in sorrow for him with eyes
That truly shed tears of blood in grief
٤. يَبْكِيْنَ مِنْ حُزْنٍ عَلَيْهِ بِأَعْيُنٍ
صَارَتْ بِحَقٍّ لِلدِّمَاءِ ذَوَارِفَا
5. All beseech with supplication.. answer us
Our Lord, and envelop him with Your kindness
٥. الكُلُّ يَضْرَعُ بِالدُّعَاءِ.. أَجِبْ لَنَا
يَا رَبَّنَا وَاشْمَلْ بِلُطْفِكَ (عَاطِفَا)
6. And grant him the highest stations in Paradise
And sustain him, O Lord, with ample shade
٦. وَاجْعَلْ لَهُ أَعْلَى الجِنَانِ مَنَازِلاً
وَارْزُقْهُ يَا رَبَّاهُ ظِلاً وَارِفَا
