قِف وَفَكِّر واجِماً مُستَعبِرا

وَتأَمَّل حالَ مَن حَلَّ الثَرى

Stand still and think profoundly

Contemplate the state of one laid in the earth

بَينَما المَرءُ عَزيزٌ آمِنٌ

يُصبِحُ المِسكينُ فَرداً بِالعَرا

While man is honored and secure

The destitute becomes isolated in the tombs

إِنَّ في ذا لَبَلاغاً لامرىء

شاهَدَ الدُنيا كَأَحلامِ الكَرى

In this is an admonition for one who sees

The world is like a fleeting mirage

فَتَزَوّد مِن قَليلٍ زائِلٍ

لِمُقامٍ شامِلٍ كُلّ الوَرى

So prepare with little from what fades

For an abode encompassing all the earth

مِثلَ هَذا صاحِبِ اللَحدِ فَقَد

كانَ صَدراً وَأَميرَ الأُمَرا

Like this, the companion in the grave has

Once been a leader of command

صاحِبَ الطابِعِ عُثمانَ الَّذي

كانَ صَدراً وَأَميرَ الأُمَرا

The man of prestige, Othman who

Once been a leader of command

ذا جَمالٍ وَجَلالٍ زانَهُ

حُسنُ بِشرٍ كَنَسيمٍ إِذ سَرى

With beauty and glory adorning him

The charm of a pleasant breeze when it blows

وَخلالٍ وَكَمالٍ باهِرٍ

وَحياءَ عَن مَعالٍ أَسفَرا

And perfection and brilliance shining

And modesty from clear virtues

نَوّرَ اللَهُ تَعالى رَمسَهُ

وَأَفاضَ الفَضلَ فيهِ وَالقِرى

May Allah illuminate his burial place

And grace him with bounty and blessings

وَاكفِهِ يا رَبّ إِذ تاريخُهُ

اكفِ عُثمانَ أَميرَ الأُمَرا

And protect him, O Lord, as his history

Protect Othman, the leader of command
