لَم أَرَ سوقَةً كَاِبنَي سِنانٍ

وَلا حُمِلا وَجَدِّكَ في الحُجورِ

I did not see a companion like the two sons of Sinan,

Nor a carrier of your religion in the hearts,

أَشَدَّ عَلى صُروفِ الدَهرِ إِدّاً

وَخَيراً في الحَياةِ وَفي القُبورِ

More steadfast against the vicissitudes of time,

And better in life and in the graves.
