رَمسٌ بِهِ مِن آلِ لطفي راحلٌ

رَمسٌ بِهِ مِن آلِ لطفي راحلٌ

حَلَّت عَلَيهِ مَراحِمُ اللَهِ الصَمَدْ

حَلَّت عَلَيهِ مَراحِمُ اللَهِ الصَمَدْ

A grave wherein lies a departed member of the Lutfi family.

The mercies of God, the Eternal Refuge, have descended upon him.

شَهمٌ بِتَقوى اللَهِ عاشَ وَبرُّهُ

شَهمٌ بِتَقوى اللَهِ عاشَ وَبرُّهُ

وَرعاً وَتَحتَ رَجاءِ رَحمَتِهِ رَقَدْ

وَرعاً وَتَحتَ رَجاءِ رَحمَتِهِ رَقَدْ

A noble man, he lived in fear of God and through His goodness,

Devoutly; and beneath the hope of His mercy he lay to rest.

وَلَقَد دَعاهُ اللَهُ نَحوَ جِوارِهِ

وَلَقَد دَعاهُ اللَهُ نَحوَ جِوارِهِ

فَأَجابَ مُبتَدِراً وَفاتَ لَنا الجَسدْ

فَأَجابَ مُبتَدِراً وَفاتَ لَنا الجَسدْ

And indeed, God called him to His side.

He answered at once, and the body was lost to us.

فَأَحَلَّهُ أَرَّختُ ساحَةَ دارِهِ

فَأَحَلَّهُ أَرَّختُ ساحَةَ دارِهِ

إِذ شاءَ أَن يَحيا الحَبيبُ إِلى الأَبَدْ

إِذ شاءَ أَن يَحيا الحَبيبُ إِلى الأَبَدْ

So He lodged him—I recorded the date—in the courtyard of His abode,

When He willed that the beloved should live forever.
