1. Perhaps the divider of virtue from the family of Qasim
Will cry out to it a lament from the dividers

2. His opinion turned towards it, not sinful
And how many wailers become regretful companions

3. The best that you are given is the knowledge of an ascetic
And the finest that you return is the asceticism of a scholar

4. And the length of contemplation during the nights and their wisdom
Upon every one ruled over and every ruler

5. My two friends, what is this misery that I see
And those bare lifetimes in the hand of the breaker

6. Do you not know that souls are like fillies
Led out to the lions of death, the attackers

7. So where is the caution for happiness tomorrow
And where is avoidance of passions, the corrupters

8. It is enough of sorrow that the predator is unleashed
And that we race towards sin in ignorance

9. We race towards the graves galloping without
Provision except for that which destroys integrity

10. Neither can the elderly save nor the child from
A time hostile to its people, assailing

11. Peace upon the house whose Lord
Kept it safe from disasters with well-being

12. For the longest life of a person is a lightning bolt
And the sweetest death of a human is the dreams of one sleeping

13. May Allah water a grave in which goodness and piety were deposited
As flowers are folded in bouquets

14. And may contentment give it a generous mother
To the most singular in precious qualities

15. She left the world and left it loftily
With the sweet breaths of the soft breezes

16. So if the clouds' darkness laments after her
Then the leaves of doves have cried out in elegy

17. Blessed is she who came with a blessed progeny
For him the highest traits amongst the high

18. Rising up with the burdens of religion leading
Forward for truth with the boldness of attacking lions

19. He practiced asceticism, not hoping for a congenial time
And fearing no critic's blame in God

20. He surrendered the world of people to people seizing
The joys of religion in both abodes

21. He is not, if he fasts the day, a breaker of fast
Nor if he stands at night, a sleeper

22. He has vast knowledge and patience which grace him
With restraint of pace but to restrain tyranny

23. And excellent consolation in woe and composure
Beyond tears no longer a custom of the compassionate

24. And who is like my father Abdel Ilah bin Qasim
In patience and entrusting at the hands of every divider

25. It is enough that your guidance to good is his guidance
And that your success in every star is his success

26. Yours is the good - take it while overlooking its shortcomings
End rhymes wearied describing each composer

27. I sent it to keep your pleasure a partner
And one you pleased is the effort of partners
