1. God rewarded with the finest recompense
A man of Oqail, who excelled without pretense

2. To him, capturing the world was inconsequential
Yet he persevered in his every diligence

3. He easily attained the highest goals
When even the most determined would fail and lose their confidence

4. He is pure (noble) - rather the noblest souls resemble him
Like a draft of wine from Beisan, well-fermented and intense

5. Oh my remorse! In life, neither prosperity nor joy remain
Now you lie in dusty ruin and pestilence

6. I didn't get half enough of you before
Death's arrows struck true, to your detriment

7. Oh, if only you were alive, I would have found
Your equal - like polished armor, magnificent

8. As you were, when you avoided reproach
When the horses charged, decked with gold trappings and opulence

9. How many terrified and cowering enemies have you faced
With your white sword that severs necks, ever diligent

10. Saving them though death scorched their mouths
Without being stabbed or blown to bits in violence
