قَد ناحَ آلُ حَبيب حَوّا راحِلاً

وَلَّى فَفازَ بَرَحمةٍ وَنَعيمِ

The family of the beloved wept as he departed,

And went forth, attaining mercy and bliss.

رُكنٌ لَقَد هَدَمَتهُ عاصِفَةُ الرَّدى

وَثَناهُ باقٍ لَيسَ بِالمَهدومِ

A pillar - torn down by the storm of demise,

Yet his legacy remains, undestroyed.

قَد كانَ غَوثاً في الخُطوبِ وَمَقصِداً

لِلخَيرِ مَرجوّاً لِكُلِّ عَظيمِ

He was a refuge in adversity, sought

For good, hoped for by all the great.

وَلَقَد قَضى بِالبِرِّ مُدَّتَهُ إِلى

أَن جاءَهُ أَجَلُ القَضا المَحتومِ

He lived in righteousness his allotted time

Until the destined end came to him.

لَبّى دُعا الباري فَأَمسى عِندَهُ

ضَيفاً كَريماً في جِوارِ كَريمِ

He obeyed the Caller's summons and came

A noble guest, in the neighborhood of the noble.

وَهُنالكَ التّاريخُ أَعلَنَ صادِقاً

قَد حَلَّ عازَرَ حِضنَ إِبراهيمِ

And there did history truthfully proclaim:

Lazarus entered Abraham's bosom.
