The noble one has hidden himself with this symbol

أمسى النجيب بهذا الرمس محتجبا

1. The noble one has hidden himself with this symbol
From us, yet left behind a memory that cannot be hidden

١. أَمسى النَجيبُ بِهَذا الرَمسِ مُحتَجِباً
عَنا وَغادر ذِكراً لَيسَ يَحتَجبُ

2. The tears of the mourners made Rayyan weep blood
As did the pens and books after him

٢. رَيّانُ أَبكى بَنِي الحِدادِ دَمعُ دَمٍ
كَما بَكَت بَعدَهُ الأَقلامُ وَالكُتُبُ

3. The circles of knowledge felt lonely without him
Where poems and speeches used to echo

٣. وَاِستَوحَشَت بَعدَهُ للعلمِ أَنديةٌ
كانَت تَرِنُّ بِها الأَشعارُ وَالخُطَبُ

4. So I composed a verse of history in which I said
After the noble one, poetry and literature died

٤. فَصغَت بَيتاً مِن التاريخِ قُلتُ بِهِ
قَد ماتَ بَعدَ النَجيبِ الشعرُ وَالأَدبُ
