نَجمُ العُلى بَعدَكَ مُنقَضُّ

وَرُكنُهُ الأَوثَقُ مُنهَضُّ

The loftiest star has lost its glow since you departed

Its firmest pillar begins to shake and fret

يا واحِداً لَم تُبقِ لي واحِداً

يُرَجّى بِهِ الإِبرامُ وَالنَقضُ

O my only one, you left me with not a single one

To turn to for support, or to break with yet

أُديلَ بَطنُ الأَرضِ مِن ظَهرِها

يَومَ حَوَت جُثمانَهُ الأَرضُ

The day the earth enfolded his body in her midst

She poured out her belly’s secret vault

وَلّى الرَدى يَومَ تَوَلّى بِهِ

وَوَجهُهُ أَزهَرُ مُبيَضُّ

Time turned its back in grief when bearing him away

While his face shown bright and lit up like dawn
