عزاؤكم آل المطهّر في فتىً

قضى فقضى المجد المؤثّلُ والنّدى

Your solace, O purified family, for a young man

Who fulfilled his destiny, so glory and dew fulfilled theirs.

أقامَ بدار الخُلدِ جاراً لِربّه

وأورثنا حزناً أقام وأقعدا

He dwells now as a neighbor of his Lord in the abode of immortality,

And left us with enduring, seated grief.

وما كان إلاّ طود مجدٍ تهدّمَتْ

جوانبه أو عقد جودٍ تبدّدا

He was but a pillar of glory that collapsed,

Its sides broken, or a knot of generosity that came undone.

ولو كان يُفدى هالك جلّ رزؤه

لكان بأرواح البريّةِ يُفتَدى

Had his most precious soul been ransomable,

It would have been redeemed with the souls of all humanity.

وما دمتمُ لِلْمجد والجود بعدَهُ

فركنُ المعالي لا يزالُ مُشيّدا

As long as you remain the pillar of glory and generosity after him,

The pillar of nobility will remain standing.

وإنّ جميل الصبر فيكم لَعادةٌ

إذا جار حُكمْ الحادثات أو اعْتدى

And your fine patience is indeed your custom,

Whenever the decree of fate bears down or grows violent.

تعوّدتمُ الصبَّر الجميلَ وإنّما

لكلّ امرءٍ من دَهرِهِ مَا تعوّدا

You are accustomed to fine, beautiful patience, and indeed

Each person gets from his fate what he is accustomed to.

عليكم سَلامِ اللهِ آل مُطهرٍ

ورحمتُه ما غَابَ بدرٌ وما بدا

Upon you be God's peace, O purified family,

His mercy forever, as long as stars set and rise.
