Has death carried away from us, leaving him
Whom death has distanced from us and so
Bones beneath burial niches and clay,
Became greatest beneath slabs and clay

رَهنَ رَمسٍ بِبُهرَةٍ أَو حَزيزٍ
ياO لَقَومٍpeople, to the rescue لِميّتِfor the dead man المَدفونِburied
يا لَقَومٍ لِميّتِ المَدفونِ
A captive of a grave, in open ground or on a rocky ridge!
A pledge at Ramess or Buhera
O people, come to the aid of the buried dead!
Oh people for the buried dead
