لَما سَطا جَيش الرَدى

وَعَلى المَصونة قَد عَدا

When the army of malice advanced,

And trespassed upon the inviolable,

كَسفت لَها شَمس الضُحى

وَالبَدر أَمسى أَرمَدا

The sun of daybreak was eclipsed,

And the moon turned bleary-eyed.

وَبَكى العَفاف لفقدها

وَالنسك ناح وَعدّدا

Chastity wept for her loss,

And devotion cried out in lament.

وَمَضت إِلى دار البَقا

بِالفَوز يصحبه الهُدى

She went to the Abode of Eternity,

With triumph and guidance as her companions.

وَالحُور قَد مَدّت لَها

في جَنة المَأوى يَدا

The maidens stretched out their hands,

To welcome her into Paradise.

وَلَها هُنالك أَرّخت

بِالخُلد ستِّي جانفدا

For her they erected there,

Sixty everlasting pavilions.
