1. You were led from life to the abode of eternity
With tears that flowed from the eyelids of the valleys

2. And upon your tomb descends every day
God's supreme satisfaction with your persistence

3. For your day in existence there is great renown
As is the remembrance of you by one facing death

4. And nothing avails your remembrance but tears
With which youth is kindled in the heart

5. And none can comprehend you but the glance of an eye
Even if tears flowed in torrents of blackness

6. And none suffers loss like you from harm
For whom do I weep but loved ones and enemies?

7. And he who had piety for his banner
And he who never harmed people

8. And he whose traits were lessons
And the vigils of night his pillows

9. I knew you would not disappoint the call of a supplicant
To whom the masters of guidance repair

10. And you were a fiery zeal, so why do I
Not respond to the call of a vocal summoner?

11. For a time you burned within me until
I saw you today become ashes

12. And you used to call us with preaching
But for missing you we are kindled

13. And the inanimate would melt in sorrow for you
Enacting the day of mutual calling

14. You were the pillar of superiority in the wilds
But today you are some inanimate matter

15. And you were more caring of affection
But excellence lies toppled of its pillar

16. After George, the House of Jesus will weep
So why do you not yearn for affection?

17. He passed away by God's decree
So attain in His presence your ultimate desire

18. By your life, that is our goal toward which
We drive our mounts, though life wanes

19. These abodes are not lasting for us
Did they not belong to ?Ad in ancient times?

20. Our delight with life is a dream
When our eyes close in the wings of night

21. We rejoice in it and deem it real
Forgetting that is in slumber

22. If you wish for constancy in death
Then be provided with amplest provisions

23. For the matter of death is feared only
When the matter of the Return is feared
