1. زُر قَبرَ ناصِرنا الكَريمَ وَقُل لَهُ

    أَصلَيتَ كُلّ حَشاشةِ نارِ الغَضى

    Visit the grave of our noble patron and say to him:

    You have scorched every soul with the fire of ghada wood.

  2. قَد سِرتَ عَنا في الشَبيبةِ راحِلاً

    كَالغُصنِ قَد كَسَرَتهُ عاصِفةُ القَضا

    You have gone away from us, departing in your youth,

    Like a branch broken by the storm of fate.

  3. غادَرتُ بَعدَكَ آلَ عبُّو في أَسىً

    ما أَن يَزولَ عَلى عَزيزٍ قَد مَضى

    After you, I left the Abbu family in sorrow,

    Never to fade, for a dear one who has passed away.

  4. فَاِنعم بِطيبِ جِوارِ رَبٍّ أَرِّخوا

    فيهِ تَحيِّيكَ المَراحمُ وَالرِضا

    So delight in the sweetness of the Lord's nearness—record the date:

    There, mercies and favor greet you.
