1. سقى الغيث قبراً حله النجم والندى

    وفضل النهى والعلم والفضل والنثر

    May the rain water a grave where the star and generosity dwelt,

    And excellence of intellect, learning, virtue, and prose.

  2. كأنَّ بني العلياء يوم وفاته

    نجومُ سماءٍ خرَّ من بينها البدر

    As though the sons of eminence, on the day of his death,

    Were stars in a sky, from among which the full moon fell.
