اِلتَقى زاد العارفِ المُستقيمِ

وَالرّضا بِالقَضاءِ شَأنُ الحليمِ

The provision of the righteous knower merged,

And acceptance of destiny is the way of the forbearing.

فَعَلامَ القصورُ عَنْ دَرْكِ نَفعٍ

وَالمَنايا تَغتالُ كُلَّ عَظيمِ

So why the shortcoming in attaining benefit,

And death lies in wait for every great one.

ها عليُّ اِبن الوزيرِ الَّذي قَد

مَلكَ الشَّامَ بِالطَّريقِ القَويمِ

Oh Ali, son of the minister who

Ruled Syria in the straight path.

أَخذَته يَدُ القضاءِ شَهيداً

فَأَجابَ القَضاءُ بِالتسليمِ

The hand of fate took him as a martyr,

So he responded to fate with resignation.

وَلَقد قُلت لِلرّضا أَينَ تَبغي

مُذْ تَبدّى يَمُرّ مِثلَ النَّسيمِ

And I had said to acceptance, where do you wish

Since you began, passing like a soft breeze.

قالَ أَرِّخ أَروم قَبرَ عليٍّ

كَرَّم اللَّهُ وَجهَه بِالنَّعيمِ

It said, record the date of Ali's grave,

May God honor his face with bliss.
