1. The Pasha's sons have lost a dear, glorious one,
Leaving behind tears like pouring rain for his loss,

2. A pillar that a storm of fate has demolished -
Alas, but his memory remains undemolished,

3. Having met his end by God's decree, departed
To the abode of bliss in greatest paradise,

4. And history's scribe sings saying:
In heaven with Jesus and Mary is Youssef.
