1. شَمسُ المَكارِمِ هَذي عِندَ ما غَرُبَت

    بِأَمرٍ مِن حُكمِهِ فيما قَضاءَ سَبَق

    When this sun of noble virtues set,

    By a command from his judgment, in accordance with a prior decree,

  2. بَكى الغَمامُ وَصارَ الجَوُّ في ظُلمٍ

    وَآنَسَ الحورَ في الفِردَوسِ نورُ شَفَقِ

    The clouds wept, and the sky grew dark,

    And twilight’s light comforted the houris in Paradise.
