هَذِي الرَّزِيْئَةُ فيْكِ

أَفْدَحُ مَا أُصِيبَ بِهِ الكَمَالْ

This affliction in you

Is the greatest blow that perfection has suffered

أَتُرَى يَعَزِّي بَاكِياً

مِنْ فِعْلِهَا قَوْلٌ يُقَالْ

Does any word of consolation comfort a weeping one?

O sun, your day has not been completed

يَا شَمْسُ لَمْ يَكْملْ نَهارُكِ

كَيْف فَاجَأَكِ الزَّوَالْ

How did decline surprise you?

O image of intimacy whose traits

يَا صُورَةَ الأُنْسِ الَّتِي

حَكَتِ المَلاَئِكَ بِالخِصَالْ

Were outlined by angels

Alas for that protection

أَسَفاً عَلَى ذَاكَ الحِجَى

أَسَفاً عَلَى ذَاكَ الجَمَالْ

Alas for that beauty

Alas for the noble manners

أَسَفاً عَلَى الشِّيَمِ الحِسَانِ

جَمَعْنَ فِي أَبْهَى مِثَالْ

That gathered in the finest example

You lived with your husband in bliss

عَايَشْتِ بِالحُسْنَى حَلِيلَكِ

لَمْ تَسُؤْهُ مِنْكِ حَالْ

He was never displeased with you

So he remained abundantly content

فَأقَامَ مَوْفُورَ الرِّضَى

جَمَّ الصَّفَاءِ رَخِيِّ بَالْ

The essence of purity, serene of mind

You raised the status of singers

وَرَفَعْتِ شَأْنَ الغَانِيا

تِ الحَانِيَاتِ عَلَى العِيَالْ

Above other women supporting families

Building with strong principles

البَانِياتِ بِقُوَّةِ الأخْلاَ

قِ أَعْلاَمَ الرِّجَالْ

Flags of great men

Stringing from girls

الصَّائِغَاتِ مِنَ البَنَا

تِ عُقُودَ زَهْرِ أَوْ لآَلْ

Necklaces of flowers or pearls

You did not neglect the rights of the poor

لَمْ تَغْفَلي حَقَّ الفَقِيرِ

وَلَمْ تَسُومِيهِ السُّؤَالْ

Nor question their request

You left your heart drained

تَرَكْتِ فُؤَادَكِ مِنْ تَكَا

لِيفٍ المُمُرءَةِ فِي كِلالْ

By the trials of ordeals

Signs of your righteousness continuing

آيَاتُ بِرِّكِ بَيْنَ مَأْ

ثَرَةٍ وَأُخْرَىٌ فِي اتِّصَالْ

And others in succession

Until you passed away and every shadow

حَتَّى انْتَقَلْتِ وَكُلُّ ظِلٍّ

فِي الوُجُودِ لَهُ انْتِقَالْ

In existence has a passing

What is the state of those you orphaned

مَا حَالُ مَنْ أَيْتَمتِهِمْ

بَعْدَ الهَنَاءَةِ وَالدَّلاَل

After comfort and pampering?

How miserable are the deprived

كَيْفَ المَسَاكِينُ الأُولَى

حُرِمُوا العِنَايَةَ وَالنَّوَالْ

Denied care and sustenance

So today from that aloofness

فَالْيَوْمَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الجُّفُو

نِ دَمُ القُلُوبِ عَلَيْكِ سَالْ

The hearts bleed for you

You paid your dues promptly

أَدَّيْتِ قِسْطَكِ عَاجِلاً

يَا خَيْرَ رَبَّاتِ الحِجَالِ

O best of veiled ladies

Journey to Eden and to

فَارْقِي إِلى عَدَنٍ وَلاَ

وَجْهَ ربِّكِ ذَا الجَّلاَل

The face of your Lord, Majestic is He

Pleasant is the bliss rewarded

طَابَ النَّعِيمُ مَثُوبَةً

لِلصَّالِحَاتِ مِنَ الفِعَالِ

To the righteous women of action
