لئِن جَلَّ المصاب بخير نَجْلٍ
لصدر بَني العُلا يومَ الرِهانِ
Though grievous was the blow of losing the finest son,
for the foremost of noble men on the day of ordeal,
فقد جلَّ العزاء له ببيتٍ
به التأريخ يُفْصِحُ بالبيانِ
great, too, was the consolation a verse afforded him;
through it the chronogram speaks out with perfect clarity:
محمّده الأمين بدارِ حقٍّ
لدى السعداء في أعلا الجِنانِ
“His faithful Muhammad is in the Abode of Truth,
among the blessed, in the highest gardens.”
Sol 5.6
