1. هَذا ضَريحُ كَريمِ قَومٍ فَوقَهُ

    تُتلَى المَراحمُ في ضُحىً وأَصيلِ

    This is the tomb of a noble man of his people; above it

    Prayers for mercy are recited in the forenoon and late afternoon.

  2. مِن آلِ زِلزلَ مِن سراةِ عَشيرةٍ

    قَد كانَ فيهِم دُرَّةَ الأكليلِ

    Of the house of Zilzil, among the nobles of a clan,

    He was among them the pearl of the crown.

  3. وَلَقَد قَضى بِاللَهِ مُنتَقِلاً إِلى

    دارِ النَعيمِ فَحَلَّ خَيرَ مَقِيلِ

    And indeed, by God, he died, passing to

    The abode of bliss, and settled in the finest resting place.

  4. وَبِوَفدِهِ أَرِّخ ملائكةَ العُلا

    وافَت فَحَيَّت وَجهَ جِبرائيلِ

    And mark the date of his arrival: the angels on high

    Came and greeted the face of Gabriel.
