1. هَذا النَطاسِيُّ الَّذي مِن بَعدِهِ

    بَكَتِ العُيونُ بِدَمعِ كُلِّ عَليلِ

    This is the skilled physician, after whose passing

    Eyes wept with the tears of every sufferer.

  2. قَد كانَ مَملوك المَنافعِ مالِكاً

    لِلحَمدِ مَعروفاً بِكُل جَميلِ

    He was a slave to beneficence, a master

    Of praise, renowned for every noble deed.

  3. وَلَقَد مَضى فَثَوى باكرمِ جَنَّةٍ

    طابَت فَضَّمَت مِنهُ خَير نَزيلِ

    And indeed he departed, then dwelt in the noblest paradise;

    It grew sweet and embraced in him the finest guest.

  4. وَبِوَفدِهِ أَرِّخ مَلائكةَ العُلى

    حَيَّت جَميعاً وَجهَ ميخائيلِ

    And record his arrival’s date: the angels on high

    All greeted the face of Mikhail.
