1. The death of a rider has brought grief to the tribe of Banu 'Abs
Like a spear, he now lies buried beneath the soil

2. Indeed, with his passing the chivalrous have lost
A helping hand in times of adversity's woes

3. Yet he journeyed to bliss well-prepared
With piety towards God and righteousness girded

4. And there in history, he revels in a garden
Triumphant, Michael rejoices having been given glad tidings
