1. Michael has journeyed far, departing steadfast;
Eyes of merit wept at his leaving.

2. Valiant, he suffered grief and settled in the dust;
His grave is watered by the rain of his Master's clemency.

3. He withstood tribulations with the patience of the pious,
And with God has earned the reward of his piety,

4. Until he came to rest, hosted in his Lord's Paradise,
Sheltered there beneath the wing of His Sublimity.
