1. مِن آلِ فَرعونَ كَريمٌ قَد سَقى

    مَثواهُ دَمعٌ بِالدِماءِ يَسيلُ

    A noble man of the Pharaon family—watered is

    his resting place by tears flowing with blood.

  2. شَهمٌ تَوارى في جَوانبِ مَضجَعٍ

    شَخصُ المَحامدِ في ثَراهُ نَزيلُ

    A gallant man lies hidden within the confines of a grave;

    the embodiment of virtues dwells in its earth.

  3. وَلَقَد أَجابَ دُعا الإِلَهِ مُلَبياً

    وَعَلَيهِ مِن حَسَناتِهِ إِكليلُ

    And indeed he answered God's summons, obediently;

    and upon him is a crown of his good deeds.

  4. فَأَتيتُ بِالتاريخِ أَرسُمُ قائِلاً

    أَمسى تِجاهَ العَرشِ روفائيلُ

    So I came with the chronogram, inscribing it and saying:

    Raphael is now before the Throne.
