هَذا ضَريحُ أَخي المَحامِدِ وَالتُقى

مَن كانَ فَذا في المُروءَةِ أوجِدا

This is the tomb of my brother, exemplar of praiseworthy traits

The most courageous and devout man that can be found

بَل ذا مَقامِ الجودِ وَالإِحسانِ وَال

فَضلِ العَميمِ إِلى الأَحِبَّةِ العِدى

Nay, this was a man of utmost generosity, kindness and grace

Of boundless excellence towards loved ones, however estranged

الشَهمُ سَعدُ اللَهِ حَلابو الَّذي

مِن بَعدِهِ الآمالَ قَد ذَهَبَت سُدى

Saadullah - may God make him prosper - Halabu whom

After his passing, hopes have drifted fruitlessly away

وَاللَهِ ما كَذَبوا إِذا ما أَرخو

قَد ماتَ سَعدُ اللَهِ يَتبَعُهُ النَدا

By God they spoke no falsehood when they let down

The curtain for Saadullah, followed by the bier

فَعَسى الكَريمُ يُضاعِفنَ ثَوابَهُ

وَيَفيهِ أَحسنَ ما لَدَيهِ وَأَحمَدا

May the Benevolent double his reward

And grace him the best that He possesses, and beyond
