1. رَحِمَ الإِلَهُ جَوارِحاً ضَمَّ الثَرى

    في مارِدينَ بِأَيمَنِ الصَمّانِ

    May God have mercy on the limbs the earth enfolded

    in Mardin, on the right side of al-Samman.

  2. فَلَقَد تَمَتَّعتِ النَواظِرُ بُرهَةً

    مِن رَبِّها بِالحُسنِ وَالإِحسانِ

    For eyes took delight for a time

    in their master's beauty and beneficence.

  3. وَعَلِمتُ أَنَّ ذُنوبَهُ مَغفورَةٌ

    مِن دَفنِهِ بِمَقابِرِ الرِضوانِ

    And I knew that his sins were forgiven

    from his burial in the cemeteries of divine favor.
