يا سالكاً في الأرض سُبْلاَ

ما يتّقى للموت نَبْلاَ

O you who tread the earth's paths

No one can evade death's arrows

قف واعتبر بحُلاحِلٍ

متوحّد فضلا ونُبْلاَ

Stop and ponder the transient days

United in merit and nobility

كانت به الأيّام لا

مَثَلاً بَعْداً ولا قَبْلاَ

The days were to him peerless

Neither before nor after

والعلم كان به حَياً

لِلْعَالَمِينَ وكان وَبْلاَ

Knowledge lived through him

For all people, and was plenty

ولَكَمْ أفاد من اعتفى

ولكم أزاح عليه جهلا

How he benefited those who sought refuge

And how he removed from them ignorance

وأبان عن طرق الهدا

يةِ ما يرى صِدْقاً وعدلا

He showed the ways of guidance

Seeing truth and justice

وعلى أهالي الفضل مِنْ

أهل العدالة زاد فضلا

And to the people of merit

From the just he added merit

وعلى الكِرَام مِنَ الكرا

م من الكرام الأصل جُلّى

And to the generous of generous stock

He showed the origin of nobility

وعلى عيون الكاتبي

ن ذوي البراعة كان جلاَّ

And to the elite writers

Of highest skill he was glorious

والآن سار إلى الرّضى

لمّا تبيّن منه إلاّ

And now he has gone to contentment

For naught was seen in him but

ودعاه عبدَ الله يا

بَدْرَ التّميميّين أَهْلاَ

Abdullah called him, oh

Full moon of Tamimi chieftains, welcome

لبّى لدعوة ربّه

وتخيّر المُلْكَ الأجلاّ

He responded to his Lord's call

And chose the eternal kingdom

ولذاك في تاريخه

كانت له الفردوس نُزْلا

Thus in his history

Paradise was his dwelling
