1. The clan of Taqala lost a dear one who passed
Swiftly as fate's decree had willed

2. Like a bough in Lebanon blown down
By the wind of death, fallen and shattered

3. He grieved the politicians and nobles alike
As prose and verse mourned after him

4. And he went to eternal life, gathered to
His Creator, blissful and content

5. So you came in history, speaking most eloquently
He has gone to the abode of peace, unharmed
