1. لا تجزعوا للشاعر الملهم

    ما مات لكن صار في الأنجم

    Do not grieve for the inspired poet

    He did not die, but became a star

  2. ما كان إلا زائراً عابراً

    لأي سر جاء لم نعلم

    He was just a passing visitor

    For what secret did he come, we do not know

  3. والآن قد رُدَّ إلى سربه

    في قدس ذاك الفلك الأعظم

    And now he has returned to his flock

    In the sanctity of that greatest sphere

  4. الآن قد رُدَّ إلى ربه

    فتى إلى الخلد مشوقٌ ظمي

    Now he has returned to his Lord

    A lad longing for eternity, eminent

  5. الآن قد أصبح في قربه

    فتى لآفاق السما ينتمي

    Now he has come close to Him

    A lad belonging to the horizons of the sky

  6. كان فراشاً حائراً في الدنى

    في نورها أو نارها يرتمي

    He was a moth confused in this lowly world

    Throwing himself into its light or its fire

  7. فإن نجا من نارها مرة

    فمن لهيب النفس لم يسلم

    And if he survived its fire once

    He did not escape the flames of the self

  8. لا تجزعوا للشاعر الملهم

    بنضرة الأيام لم ينعم

    Do not grieve for the inspired poet

    He did not enjoy the bloom of days

  9. مرَّ بهذا الكون في لحظة

    طالت كعمر الأبد الأعظم

    He passed through this universe in a moment

    As long as that greatest eternity

  10. أي جلالٍ فاته وصفه

    وأي حسن فيه لم يرسم

    What majesty beyond his description

    What beauty in it he did not depict

  11. فإن يكن ردَّ إلى حضنه

    فعودة المغرم للمغرم

    If he has returned to His embrace

    It is the return of the enamored to the Beloved

  12. ورجعة القلب إلى صدره

    بالعطف في أحنائه يرتمي

    And the heart's return to its chest

    Cuddling in its folds

  13. لا تجزعوا للشاعر الملهم

    والله ما نام مع النوَّم

    Do not grieve for the inspired poet

    By God, he did not sleep with the sleepy

  14. ولم ينل منه أكول البلى

    وإنما غاب إلى موسمِ

    Nor did the ravages of time affect him

    He only disappeared for a season
