1. لِبَنِي مُهَنّا بَعدَ مَصرَعِ فارسٍ

    مُهَجٌ أَسالَ دِماءَها سَهمُ القَضا

    For the sons of Muhanna after the death of Faris.

    Hearts whose blood the arrow of fate has spilled.

  2. ركنٌ بكَتهُ بَنُو الجَريديني وَقَد

    أَمسى بِعاصفةِ المَنونِ مَقوَّضَا

    A pillar mourned by the sons of al-Jaridini, and now

    toppled by the tempest of death.

  3. وَلَقَد مَضى نَحوَ النَعيم فَنالَ ما

    غَرَسَتهُ أَيدي بَره فيما مَضى

    And indeed he went toward bliss and attained what

    the hands of his benevolence had planted in times past.

  4. وَلذا نَسيمُ العَرشِ كُلّ صَبيحةٍ

    أَرِّخ يَهُبُّ عَلى ثَراهُ بِالرِضَى

    And so the breeze of the Throne, every morning,

    —record the date—blows upon his grave’s earth with favor.
