1. مِن آلِ جَدعونَ الكِرامَ مُودَّعٌ

    وَلَّى فأَمسى في جِوارِ كَريمِ

    One of the noble house of Jadʿun is bid farewell;

    he departed and came into the keeping of the Generous One.

    أَسَفاً وَناحَ عَلَيهِ كُلُّ يَتيمِ

    A noble-hearted man has died; glory wept for his death,

    in sorrow, and every orphan lamented him.

  3. أَرضى بِسيرتِهِ المُهيمُنُ سالِكاً

    مَعَهُ بِقَلبٍ في تُقاهُ سَليمِ

    He pleased the Guardian through his conduct, walking

    with Him, with a heart sound in its reverence for Him.

  4. فَأَحَلَّهُ أَرِّخ مَنازلَ جَنَّةٍ

    كُتبَ الخَلاصُ بِها ليواكيمِ

    So He lodged him—record the date—in the abodes of Paradise;

    salvation was inscribed there for Joachim.
