يا قبرُ هَلْ عَلِمْتَ مَن ضَمَمْتَهُ
ومَنْ عَليه تنطوي جَوانحُكْ
O grave, do you know whom you have embraced,
and over whom your sides have closed?
مَن صالحُ أعمالُه مضيئةٌ
تضيءُ من أضوائها مصابحُكْ
Ṣāliḥ—his deeds shine radiant,
and from their radiance your lamps take light.
فإنَّ في بطنك خيرَ ماجدٍ
قد وُضِعَتْ من فوقها صفائِحُكْ
For within your depths lies the noblest of men;
your slabs have been laid above it.
وأَنْتَ من طيب عَبير نَشْرِهِ
تَنْفَحُ من طيب الشَّذا نوافِحُكْ
And from the sweetness of his wafted perfume,
your breezes breathe forth fragrant sweetness.
ولا تزال والإِله راحمٌ
في رحمة الله الَّتي تصافِحُكْ
And you shall ever remain—for God is merciful—
within the mercy of God that enfolds you.
قَدْ حَلَّ من بعد الوفاة ثاوياً
أَرِّخْ بجنَّات الخلود صالحُكْ
After death he has come to dwell here.
Mark the date: “In gardens of eternity is your Ṣāliḥ.”
Sol 5.6
