مِنْ آلِ مَعْتُوقٍ نَضِيرُ صَبِي

هَصَرَتْهُ عَادِيَةُ الردَى هَصْرَا

From the family of Ma'tuq, a young boy

Whose life was cut short by the cruelty of fate

عُمْرُ الْحَيَاة عَلَى تَقَاصُرِهَا

بِالْبَاقيَاتِ وَلَمْ يَطُلْ عُمْرَا

Though life is short in its brevity

It endures through legacy, and his was no long life

قَالَ الْمُعَزِّي حِينَ أَرَّخَهُ

سَمْعَانُ عَادَ مُخَلَّدَ الذِّكْرَى

Said the consoler when dating his gravestone

Sama'an has returned, immortalized in memory
