أطاع الفريضة والسُّنَّة

فتاه على الأنس والجِنَّهْ

He obeyed religious duty and tradition

His youth enamored of intimacy and jinn

كأنَّ لنا النار من دونه

وأفراده اللّه بالجَنَّهْ

As if for us without him is the fire

And God singled him out for Heaven

وينظر نحوي إذا زرته

بعين حماة إلى كَنَّهْ

He looks at me when I visit him

With the eye of a protector toward his tribe
