مِن آلِ هاشمَ راحلٌ نَزَلَ الثَرى

فَسَقَت شَآبيبُ المَدامعِ لَحدَهُ

From the clan of Hashim, a traveler descended into the earth

So streams of tears watered his grave

رُكنٌ بَكاهُ الفَضلُ وَالعليا كَما

باتَت ذوو الحاجاتِ تَندبُ فَقدَهُ

A pillar whose excellence and nobility were mourned

As the needy spent the night grieving his loss

صَرفَ الحَياةَ عَلى التُقى حَتّى إِذا

وَلَّى فَنالَ صَفا النَعيم وَمَجدَهُ

He lived his life in piety until, when

He passed on, he attained heavenly bliss and glory

وافى مؤرِّخُهُ فَصاحَ مُبَشراً

اليَومَ عَبد اللَهِ أَضحى عِندَهُ

His chronicler came to him calling out joyfully

Today Abdullah is in the presence of his Lord
