رَمسٌ بِهِ مِن آلِ طُنبةَ راحِلٌ

بَلُّوا ثَراهُ بِالدُموعِ الذُرَّفِ

A sketch of one from the family of Tunbah traveling,

They bid him farewell with flowing tears,

أَمسى مَزاراً للكِرامِ وَطالَما

كانَت مَنازِلُهُ مَزارَ المُعتَفِي

It became a shrine for the generous, and it was often

His dwellings were the refuge of the outcast.

شَهمٌ تَلقَّى الحادِثاتِ بِمُهجةٍ

صَبَرَت عَلى طُولِ البَلاءِ المُدنفِ

Courageous, he met misfortunes with strength,

He endured the prolonged affliction with patience,

حَتّى قَضى وَمَضى فَحَلَّ بِمَرتَعٍ

يَغشى العُيونَ بِهِ جَمالُ المَوقِفِ

Until he passed away and departed to a meadow

That delights the eyes with the beauty of its scene.

وَهُناكَ بِالتاريخِ أَملاكُ العُلى

نَطَقَت بِاعلانِ الخَلاصِ لِيُوسُفِ

And there in history are the possessions of the Exalted,

They proclaimed the deliverance of Joseph.
