ضريحٌ حلَّ فيهِ كريمُ قومٍ
دَعاهُ إليهِ مَولاهُ الكريمُ
A tomb wherein one noble among his people came to rest;
His gracious Lord summoned him unto Himself.
فقلْ لِبني عطاءِ الله صبراً
على كأسٍ يَغَصُّ بها النَّديمُ
So bid the sons of ʿAṭāʾ Allāh be patient
before a cup on which the boon companion chokes.
إلى دار السَّلامِ مضَى أميناً
بحفِظِ اللهِ يشمَلُهُ النَّعيمُ
Secure, he passed into the Abode of Peace;
in God’s keeping, bliss envelops him.
فقلتُ مبشِّراً لمؤرِّخيهِ
بتلكَ الدَّارِ محفوظٌ سليمُ
So I said, bearing glad tidings to those dating his death:
In that abode, Salīm is enfolded all around.
