عَلى العلم حَقاً أَن يديم بُكاه

وَلِلناس طراً أَن تَجيب صَداه

It is right that knowledge should continue its weeping,

And for people, it is ease that responds to its echo.

فَقَد ماتَ ذُو المَجد الرَفيع محمد

هُوَ الفاضل القُوصي رَب سَناه

For the highly distinguished Muhammad has died,

He is the virtuous Al-Quṣī, who raised its loftiness.

فَفيه تَعزى العلم وَالمَجد وَالتُقى

فَهَذا الَّذي فينا يَعز فِداه

In him knowledge, glory, and piety are consoled,

He is the one whose sacrifice would be dear to us.

عَلى قَبره فاضَت سَحائب رَحمة

وَنالَ مِن المَولى الكَريم رُضاه

Upon his grave poured down clouds of mercy,

And from the Bountiful Master he attained His approval.

بِهِ زَهَت الجَنات وَالحور أَرخَت

محمد جَنات الخُلود عُلاه

With him the gardens became adorned, and the maidens let down

Muhammad, ascend to the gardens of eternity.
