أيها العادل دعني وبكائي

أنت خلو من مصابي وبلائي

O you just one, leave me and my weeping

You are devoid of my troubles and afflictions

عد عني لا تلمني أبداً

في رثائي لامام العلماء

Turn away from me, never blame me

In my elegy for the Imam of scholars

غاب شمس الدين فإذن

نحن في ظلماء من بعد ضياء

The sun of religion has set, so

We are in darkness after the light

غاب عنا بغتة فانقمعت

لرداه نجباء النبهاء

He left us suddenly, so the elite

Of the wise were suppressed by his absence

كان والله حنيفا مسلما

مستقيماً من كبار الصلحاء

By God he was an upright Muslim

Righteous, one of the great peacemakers

يا له من عالم تاريخه

مات بالقولنج نور النبلاء

Oh what a scholar, his history

Died in Qolunji, the light of nobles
