لك يَا حَفِيظَة خَالِداتُ مَفَاخِرٌ
تَمْضِي السنونُ وَذِكْرُهَا مُتَجَددُ
Yours, O Hafiza, are immortal glories;
the years pass, while your memory is ever renewed.
مِنْ عَالَمِ الْغَيْبِ اشْهَدي مُعْتَزَّةً
وَطَناً يُقَامُ بِه لِذِكْرِكِ مشْهد
From the realm of the unseen, proudly behold
a homeland where a memorial is raised to your memory:
شَمَلَتْ مَآثِرُكِ الْعِدَادُ رُبُوعَهُ
فَالشكْرُ فِيهَا شَامِلٌ مَتَعَدد
Your countless glorious deeds encompassed its quarters,
and throughout them gratitude is all-embracing and manifold.
مَنْ غَابَ عَنْ أَحْبَابِه فَلَهُ بِه
فِي الآنِ بَعْدَ الآنَ عَوْدٌ أَحْمَدُ
Whoever is gone from those they love has, through it,
now and ever after, a most praiseworthy remembrance,
أَبْقَى من الأَعيَانِ وَهْيَ زَوَائِلٌ
أَثَرٌ لَهُ فِي كُلِّ بَارِحَة غد
more enduring than embodied beings, though they pass away—
a legacy whose every yesterday has a tomorrow.
نِعْمَ الْجَزَاءُ لِرَبَّةِ الصَّونِ الَّتي
بِمَثوبَة الدَارَيْنِ بَاتَتْ تسْعَدُ
How excellent is the reward for the woman of guarded honor, who
now rejoices in the recompense of both worlds.
سُبْحَانَ مُلْهِمُكِ الصَّوَابَ وَهَكَذَا
لَكِ فِي رِحَابِهما الْبَقَاءُ السَّرْمدُ
Glory be to Him who inspired you to the right; and thus
within the spacious realms of both worlds, everlasting life is yours.
