أبكى الشُّيوخَ بَنِي تلحوقَ مرتحِلٌ

منهم كريمٌ مِن الأشرافِ معدودُ

A man of the nobles is departing from Talhuq,

A generous man of high lineage.

ناحَت عليه جِيادُ الخيل عابِسَةً

والسَّيفُ والضَّيفُ والإكرامُ والجودُ

The horses neigh mournfully for him,

As do the sword, the guest, generosity, and munificence.

عزيزُ قومٍ شديدُ البأسِ مقتَدِرٌ

عظيمُ شأنٍ لهُ بالفضلِ مشهودُ

A mighty man of a fierce people, powerful,

Of great repute for his virtues.

وأسطُرُ اللَّوحِ مِن تأريخهِ نَطَقَتْ

محمودُ عند كرامِ النَّاسِ محمودُ

And the lines of inscription from his memorial proclaimed:

"Praised among the generous people, praised!"
