1. بَنِي المُزَنَّرِ صَبراً إِنَّ نَظلةَ قَد

    لَبَّت دُعا رَبِّها الغَفّارِ إِذ هَتَفا

    Children of al-Muzannar, be patient, for Naẓlah has

    answered her all-forgiving Lord’s call when He called out.

  2. بَكرٌ غَدَت في سَما الأَبكارِ راتعةً

    وَخَلَّفَت في حِمانا الحُزنَ وَالأَسَفا

    A maiden, she has gone to revel in the heaven of maidens,

    and left sorrow and grief in our haven.

  3. قَضَت ثَمانِيَ عَشراً عِندَنا وَمَضَت

    كَزائرٍ مَرَّ في الأَحياءِ وَاِنصَرَفا

    She spent eighteen years among us and departed,

    like a visitor who passed among the living and went away.

  4. لِذاكَ قامَ لَدى التاريخِ نادِبُها

    يَبكي عَلى غُصنِ بانٍ في الصِّبا قُصِفا

    Thus her mourner rose to mark the date,

    weeping over a bān-tree branch snapped in youth.
