تَوْفِيقُ يَا طَالِبَ المَعَالِي

مَنْ حَسَبَ المَوْتَ فِي طَلابِكْ

O seeker of high ideals, success is yours

Who imagined death in your quest?

كُنَّا نرَجِّي إِيَاب خَيْرٍ

يَا لوْعَةَ القلْبِ مِنْ إيَابِكْ

We hoped for your safe return

Oh, the heartache at your return!

سَنَذْكُرُ الدَّهْرِ كُلَّ فضْلِ

بِهِ تَفردْتَ عَنْ صَحَابِكْ

We will recall your excellence forever

You were unmatched among your comrades

سَنذْكُرُ الغُرَّ فِي السَّجَايَا

وَخيرُهَا كَانَ مِنْ نِصَابِكْ

We will recall your valor in battle

The best of it came from your example

تَاللهِ مَا كَرَّتِ اللَّيَالِي

إِنَّا لَنَبْكِي عَلَى شَبَابِك

By Allah! The nights have not rolled around

That we do not weep for your lost youth
