1. لكم يا بَنِي الخورِي عَزاءٌ وسَلْوةٌ

    بما أنَّ عبدَ اللهِ قد باتَ عِندَهُ

    For you, O sons of al-Khuri, there is consolation and solace,

    for Abdullah has now come to dwell with Him.

  2. لقد جَرَحَ الأكبادَ عندَ فراقهِ

    وليسَ لها طِبٌّ سوى الصبر بعدَهُ

    He indeed wounded the livers at his departure,

    and they have no remedy but patience after him.

  3. كريمٌ ثوَى في مضجَعٍ ذي كرامةٍ

    سَقى اللهُ مِن أَعلى السماواتِ لحدَهُ

    A noble man rests in an honored resting place;

    may God water his grave from the highest heavens.

  4. قدِ اختارَهُ للفوزِ أرّخْ بملكهِ

    ولا شَكَّ أنَّ اللهَ يَختارُ عبدهُ

    He has chosen him for salvation in His kingdom—record the date:

    and there is no doubt that God chooses His servant.
