1. A noble one from the family of Qattan is departed
Like the full moon whose light fate has eclipsed

2. He was an only child though he still lay in bed
The rain of tears and mercy visited him

3. At nineteen, youth mourns him
Like a neighbor weeping for his neighbor when distant

4. He had waited for it so fate betrayed him
Deceitfully disappointing his waiting

5. Leaving grief in the hearts of his grieving father and mother
Sorrow that keeps the fire of grief burning

6. He left for the eternal abode abandoning
The region of misery and its dwellings

7. There he met the date fate had written for him
Blessed is Peter for Christ chose him
