1. رَمسٌ لأسبرَ قَد سَقَت صَفحاتَهُ

    سُحبُ الرِّضى في بُكرَةٍ وَأَصيلِ

    A grave for Asbar—its sides have been watered

    By clouds of favor at dawn and evening.

  2. شَهمٌ تَرَدَّى بِالصَلاحِ وَلَم يَزَل

    في النّاسِ مَذكوراً بِكُل جَميلِ

    A noble man, robed in righteousness, who was ever

    Remembered among people for all that is good.

  3. هَذا الَّذي اِتَخَذَ التَصَبُّرَ في البَلا

    درعاً فَاحرزَ أَيَّما اِكليلِ

    This is he who made patient endurance in affliction

    His armor—and what a crown he won!

  4. يا آلَ ميخائيلَ إِنَّ فَقيدَكُم

    في جَنَةٍ طابَت لِكُلِّ نَزيلِ

    O family of Mikhail, your departed one is indeed

    In a paradise delightful to every guest.

  5. أَمسى هُناكَ كُما يُؤرّخ آمِناً

    فَأَقامَ تَحتَ جَناحِ ميخائيلِ

    He came to be there, secure, as the chronogram records,

    And dwelt beneath Mikhail's wing.
