1. مِن آلِ هاشمَ راحلٌ نَزَلَ الثَرى

    فَسَقَت شَآبيبُ المَدامعِ لَحدَهُ

    A departed man of the house of Hashim descended into the earth;

    so showers of tears watered his grave.

  2. رُكنٌ بَكاهُ الفَضلُ وَالعليا كَما

    باتَت ذوو الحاجاتِ تَندبُ فَقدَهُ

    A pillar whom virtue and eminence mourned, just as

    those in need spent the night lamenting his loss.

  3. صَرفَ الحَياةَ عَلى التُقى حَتّى إِذا

    وَلَّى فَنالَ صَفا النَعيم وَمَجدَهُ

    He spent his life in piety until, when

    he passed away, he attained unclouded bliss and its glory.

  4. وافى مؤرِّخُهُ فَصاحَ مُبَشراً

    اليَومَ عَبد اللَهِ أَضحى عِندَهُ

    His chronicler arrived and cried out, bearing glad tidings:

    Today Abdullah has come to be with Him.
