تَأَمَّل فَما إِلّا إِلى الخالِقِ البَقا

وَلَو بَلَغَ المَخلوقُ أَبعَدَ مُرتَقى

Consider the passing, for there is only the eternal Creator

Though the creation reached the farthest ascent

يَبيتُ بِها فَوقَ الأَرائِك آمِناً

وَيُصبِحُ تَحتَ الأَرضِ مُفتَرِشَ النَقا

He sleeps safely on thrones at night

And awakens buried under the earth in the morning

فَسَل هَؤُلاءِ الشمّ ماذا دَهاهُمُ

وَقَد كانَ كلّ يستَغاثُ وَيُتَّقى

Ask these eminent ones what has destroyed them

Though each was pleading and taking precautions

كَفى بِهِمُ وَاللَه يا صاحِ واعِظاً

لِمَ كانَ مِن لُقياهُ لِلَّهِ مُشفِقا

Enough of them, by God O preacher

Why did the prospect of meeting God make them anxious

كَهَذا رَهينِ الرَمسِ قارَه مُحَمَّدٍ

أَمير اللِوا مَن كانَ عَبداً مُوَفَّقا

Like this, hostage to fate, follower of Muhammad

The commander of the battalions, who was granted success

وَمَن كانَ ذا عِرضٍ نَقيّ وَمِقوَلٍ

صَدوقٍ وَخيمٍ زادَ مَرآهُ رَونَقا

And one of honest honor and reliable words

Truthful, protective, his sight made more radiant

تَقَلَّبَ في جُلّ الوِلاياتِ وَاِنثَنى

بِطيبِ الثَنا يَرجو النَعيمَ المُحَقَّقا

He wandered through all the governorships humbly

With good praise hoping for the realized blessing

كَرابِطَةٍ مَع دارِ ضَربٍ وَمَجلِس

بِهِ البَلَدُ المَحروسُ زانَ وَأَشرَقا

Like a garrison in the abode of affliction and council

Through which the protected city was adorned and illuminated

وَصاهَرَ رَبّ الدست كانَ سِقاهُمُ

سَحابٌ مِنَ الرِضوانِ يَنهَلّ مُغدِقا

And he joined the Lord of Power whose drink

Was a cloud of satisfaction pouring generously

وَلَمّا تَأَمَّلَ اِختارَ جيرَةَ سَيِّدٍ

يُرافِقُهُ فَضلاً إِلى مَنزِلِ البَقا

And when he considered, he chose the neighborhood of the Master

Whose virtue accompanies to the abode of eternity

فَطوبىَ لَهُ بِالحُسنَيَينِ وَإِنَّهُ

شَهيدٌ وَقِنّ حازَ بالعِتقِ مَوثِقا

Good tidings to him for the two benefactions, and he

Is a martyr and ransom who won liberation bound

إِلَهيَ أَنِّس لَحدَهُ وَامحُ ذَنبَهُ

وَقابِلهُ بِالغُفرانِ في مَوقِفِ اللِقا

My God, make his grave comforting and erase his sins

And meet him with forgiveness at the place of meeting

وَأعِتقهُ وَاقبِل فيهِ فأل مؤَرّخٍ

أَميرُ اللِوا قارَه مُحَمَّدُ أُعتِقا

And emancipate him and accept through him the chronicling

Of the commander of the battalions, follower of Muhammad, emancipated
