نُعاوِدُهُ لَحْداً بَكَتْهُ الغَمائِمُ

وَشُقَّتْ عليهِ لِلرِّياضِ كَمائِمُ

We bid him farewell, though clouds have rained tears for him,

And the standards bowed in grief for him towards the meadows.

يُجدِّدُ حُزْني أَنَّهُ اليومَ راحِلٌ

وَصَوْمٌ عَدِمْنا بِرَّهُ وَهْوَ قَادِمُ

My sorrow is renewed that today he is leaving,

While his righteousness remains after he is gone.

وَكَمْ مَكرَماتٍ لِلوَزِيرِ مُحمَّدٍ

على شاطِئيها حَاتِمُ الجُودِ حَائِمُ

And how many noble deeds has Minister Muhammad,

While Hatim's generosity still remains by its shore.

أَتربتَهُ جَاوَرْتِ فخرينِ منهما

تَساجَلُ أَعْرابٌ عُلا وأَعَاجِمُ

His tomb neighbored two glories, over which Arabs and non-Arabs contend,

And indeed, may Allah prolong the life of Ali,

وإنَّ عَليّاً طوَّلَ اللّهُ عمرَهُ

وَعُمْرَ بَنيهِ لِلثَّوابِ لَغَانِمُ

And the lives of his sons for reward, they are all winners.

And indeed for him in every glorious deed is sublimity,

وإنَّ لهُ في كلِّ أجْرٍ أَجَلَّهُ

ولا مِثلَ هذا الأجْرِ واللَّهُ عَالِمُ

And none equals this glory, and Allah is All-Knowing.

And none equals him in patience without him, but only

ولا مثلَهُ في الصَّبرِ عنهُ وانِما

على قَدْرِ أَهْلِ العَزْمِ تَأْتي العَزائِمُ

According to the resolve of the resolute, come the resolutions.
