إنَّ فَقْد الأهلينَ كان عظيما

ومصابَ الأحبابِ صارَ جسيما

The loss of loved ones was immense,

And the sorrow for friends became tremendous.

يرحمُ اللّهَ من تعزى وعزَّى

مؤمناً كي يزبح عنهُ الهمُومَا

May God have mercy on those who were consoled and consoled others,

As believers, to rid them of worries.

واتركنَّ الوسواسَ فهو من

الشيطان مهمَا عصيتَه أن يدومَا

Leave obsessive thoughts, for they are from

Satan, no matter how much you resist him, for him to persist.

زحزح الحزنَ والهمومَ عن القلبِ

تعيشُ العيشَ الهنىّ السليما

Rid your heart of sorrow and worries,

So you may live a happy and wholesome life.

لا تفكرْ ولا تذكر طباعا

سلفتْ من مصاحبٍ لن يقيما

Do not think or recall the nature

Of a companion who will not last.

وتمسكْ بحبلِ ربك واذكرْ

يومَ لا ينفعُ الحميمُ حميمَا

Hold onto the rope of your Lord and remember

A day when no intimate friend can be intimate.

فعزاء فيما تقضَّى وصبْراً

تَلْقَ بعد العزاء فوزاً عظيما

So be patient in what is destined and patient

To attain great success after consolation.

أنت أولَى بالحلمِ من أن تعزى

بافتقادِ لأنت صرتَ العَليمَا

You are more deserving of forbearance than to be consoled

For missing one you had become most wise.

من يعزى الأنامَ كيف يعزَّى

وهْو قد صار في الأمورِ حَكيمَا

How can one who consoles people be consoled

When he has become most wise in matters?

فالقضَا سابقٌ من الله حَتماً

فاشكرِ الله قاعداً ومقيمَا

The destiny from God is predetermined,

So thank God while settled or traveling.

وعليكَ السلامُ من والد وآ

لَكَ لم ينسَ منكَ عهداً قديما

And upon you be peace from a father who

Has not forgotten an ancient promise to you.
