أَعزيكمو في ميت لم يزل عندي

له الحزن حيا وهو في ظلمة اللحد

I console you for a dead man who has not stopped being with me

Grief for him is alive while he is in the darkness of the grave

وكيف العزا فيه ونيران حزنه

على فقده ما بيننا أحرقت كبدي

And how is there condolence for him, while the fires of his sorrow

For his loss burned my liver between us

فإِني أَخذت السهم واف من الأَسى

وقدر الأَسى عندي على قدر الود

For I have taken a piercing arrow of grief

And the extent of grief with me is equal to the extent of love

هو الميت المحزون فقداً على ابنه

فيا رحمة المفقود من ذلك الفقد

He is the dead grieved over the loss of his son

So, O mercy of the one missed by that loss

تمنى يفدى إبنه من ردائه

فمات المفدّى راغم الأَنف والمفدي

He wished he could ransom his son with his gown

So the ransomed one died, the nose and the ransomer being broken

ولو يقبل الموت الفدى من ذوي الفدى

لفدي أنوشروان بالملك والجند

And if death would accept ransom from ransom givers

Anushirwan would ransom the king and the army with the kingdom

وما مات مولانا النبي وحوله

يفدونه عدنانه وبنو الأزد

And our Master the Prophet did not die, while around him

They ransom him, the reins and the sons of Azd

ثوى في الثرى لم يقبل الموت فدية

يضاعف عنه من أولي السؤدد العد

He rested in the ground, death did not accept a ransom

It doubles from him from the foremost benefactors

عليه صلاة اللَه حيا وميتاً

هو المجتبي المهدي به وله المهدي

Upon him, the prayers of God, alive and dead

He is the Chosen One, guided by him and the one who guides to him

عزاء بني عبد السلام فما البكا

على ناصر أَو إبنه لكم مجدي

Condolences to the sons of Abdel Salam, so what is crying

Over Nasser or his son bringing you glory

فما اعتصم الأَروى بأرعن شاهق

عن المَوت أَو في غيلها لبوة الأَسد

So the lofty did not adhere to the high rooted tree

From death or the courage of the lion in its madness

وما هاب عزرائيل من ذي مهابة

ولم يرحم الطفل الممهد في المهد

And Azrael did not fear one with awe

And did not have mercy on the infant cradled in the cradle

فحظ وضيع القدر في المَوت قسمة

كحظ رفيع الشأن بالجد والجد

So the share of the lowly fate in death is a distribution

Like the share of the high ranked in nobility and ancestry

مآل سعيد الجد في الأَرض حفرة

يحل بها المحروم من طالع السعد

The outcome of the happy ancestry on earth is a pit

In which the deprived of good fortune settles

ولو أَنكم يا ىل سوال عشتم

مثاكيل حزن ما قدرتم على رد

And if you, O people of Sowal, lived

Like the length of this sorrow, you would not be able

فصبراً على ما قدر اللَه فالرضى

بحكم القضا فرض على الحر والعبد

So, patience over what God has ordained, for contentment

With the judgment of fate is a duty upon the free and the slave

وَأَنتُم بنخل كالكواكب إِن هفا

لكم كوكب يبدو لكم كوكب يهدي

And you are date palms like stars, so if

A star of yours is eclipsed, a star appears to guide you

لئن عاش سمح فالسماح شعاره

ومن مقبل الاقبال راشد بالرشد

If the kind Samh lives, kindness is his banner

And of the coming future, Rashid guides with guidance

لكم خلف عن ناصر جاه يعرب

سلالة سلطان الفتى الصمد الفرد

For you is a successor to Nasser of glory that impresses

A lineage of the sultan, the unique, matchless young man

فلا زالَ سداً دونكم عن نوازل

وأَنتُم فلا زلتم له عيبة السد

So he remains a barrier protecting you from tribulations

While you remain his mighty towering barrier
