شَهمٌ مَضى عَن بَنِي الشَّمَّاعِ مُرتَحِلاً

شَهمٌ مَضى عَن بَنِي الشَّمَّاعِ مُرتَحِلاً

إِلى نَعيمٍ لِأَهلِ البِرِّ مَكتوبِ

إِلى نَعيمٍ لِأَهلِ البِرِّ مَكتوبِ

A noble man departed from the sons of al-Shamma‘, journeying

A martyr passed away from the children of ash-Shamma'

To bliss ordained for the righteous.

To a bliss written for the righteous people

فَإِن تَزُر قَبرَهُ يا مَن يؤرِّخُهُ

فَإِن تَزُر قَبرَهُ يا مَن يؤرِّخُهُ

فَقُل عَلَيكَ الرِّضَى يا قَبرَ يَعقوبِ

فَقُل عَلَيكَ الرِّضَى يا قَبرَ يَعقوبِ

So if you visit his grave, O you who record its date,

So if you visit his grave, O you who memorialize him

Then say: “May favor be upon you, O tomb of Ya‘qub.”

Say "May God's pleasure be upon you, O Jacob's grave"
