لِفَتى بَنِي العَبسيِّ أَكرَمَ مَضجَعٍ

قَد ضَمَّ مِنهُ عِظامَ خَيرِ كَريمِ

For a youth of Bani Abs, the noblest resting place,

Within it are gathered the bones of the best generous man.

هُوَ مَقدِسٌ أَمسى يُقامُ بِهِ الدُّعا

عَن نَفسِ ثاوٍ في حِماهُ مُقيمِ

It is sacred, invoked for blessings, for a soul

At rest from toil, residing in His protection.

لا غروَ أَن نَزَلَت مَلائكةُ العُلى

تَغشاهُ بالرِّضوانِ وَالتَسليمِ

No wonder the angels of the Highest descend

To visit it with goodwill and peace.

فَكَذا المَلائكُ قَبلَ تاريخي لَقَد

جاءَت فَزارَت بَيتَ اِبرهيمِ

Thus before, the angels had come to visit

The house of Abraham, and bless it.
