1. وَلي اغابيسُ الَّذي آثارهُ

    تَبقى بقا ذكرٍ لهُ متكرَّرِ

    Aghabis has departed, he whose traces

    Remain as long as remembrance of him is renewed.

  2. راعٍ بكتهُ رعيَّةٌ قد ساسها

    زمناً بهمتهِ الَّتي لم تفترِ

    A shepherd mourned by a flock he had governed

    For a time with his resolve, which never flagged.

  3. وال المسرَّة في النَعيم وَما لَنا

    من بعد ذا التأريخ غير تحسر

    May joy be his amid bliss, while we have

    After this date nothing but sorrow.
