محمد بكرهم نما وله

علما وفنا مكانه السنم

Muhammad in his youth grew

In knowledge and art to greatness

في جيله كان زين من عملوا

بما افادوا وزين من علموا

Among his generation he was of those

Who benefited others and taught wisdom

جمال طبع يضيء رونقه

جمال وجه كالصبح يبتسم

The beauty of his nature shone

The beauty of his face smiled like dawn

سرعان ما هده الجهاد وما

ناء بتلك العزائم السقم

But soon this struggle took its toll

Those resolute ambitions made him ill

فلم يجاوز شرخ الصبا وجرت

أسى عليه الدموع وهي دم

He did not pass the bloom of youth when

Tears of sorrow flowed for him, blood
