أَيُّهَا المحسِنُ هذا مَنزِلٌ

بِعْتَهُ اليومَ بِصَرْحِ في السَّمَاءِ

O noble benefactor, this is your abode

Ascended to heaven's palace today

خُلِّدَتْ بالجُودِ ذِكْرَاكَ التي

خُلِّدَتْ بالنُّبْلِ قبلاً وَالذَّكاءِ

Your memory immortalized by generosity

Previously immortalized by nobility and wisdom

كُنْتَ لَمْ تَعْقِبْ فَأَصْبَحْتَ أَبَا

لأَلوفٍ مِنْ صِغَارِ الفُقَرَ

You left no descendants yet became a father

To thousands of the poor
