1. From the generous family of Besteres
The compassion waters his grave every day
١. مِن آلِ بِستِرسَ الكِرامَ مُوَسّدٌ
تَسقي المَراحمُ كُلَّ يَومٍ لَحدَهُ
2. A pillar of love, the heights cried for his death
In sorrow, and virtue lamented his loss
٢. رُكنٌ هوى فَبَكَت لِمَصرَعِهِ العُلى
أَسَفاً وَباتَ الفَضلُ يَندُبُ فَقدَهُ
3. Until when evening came, next to his Lord
He attained good fortune and his glory
٣. حَتّى إِذا أَمسى يُجاوِرُ رَبَّهُ
فَأَنالَهُ طِيبَ النَعيمِ وَمَجدِهِ
4. His historian fulfilled it, and recited early:
This is the beloved of the Lord, dwelling near Him
٤. وافى مُؤَرِّخُهُ فَانشدَ باكِراً
هَذا حَبيبُ الرَبِّ يَسكُنُ عِندَهُ
