1. With God's mercy and pleasure
A youth adorned with youthfulness and vitality
١. برحمةِ الله ورضوانِهِ
فتىً تحلّى بالصّبا والحِجى
2. I wished for him a life filled with joy
But fate betrayed him and hope was lost
٢. رجوته لِلدَّهرِ مِلءَ المُنى
فخانه الدَّهرُ وخابَ الرَّجا
3. My tears have watered you, O pure earth
I have sown grief and anguish around him
٣. سَقَاكَ دمعي يا ثرىً طاهراً
زرعتُ حَوْلَيْهِ الأسى والشجا
4. A grave that contains the wisdom of its inscription
I buried in it a hoped-for aspiration
٤. قبرٌ حَوَى حِكمتَ تأريخُهُ
دفنتُ فهي أملاً مُرْتَجى
