مضى المُزَنيُّ الّذي لم يَزلْ

مضى المُزَنيُّ الّذي لم يَزلْ

لَنا مزنَةً مالَها من خُمودِ

لَنا مزنَةً مالَها من خُمودِ

Al-Muzani has passed away, he who was always

The generous man who never ceased

a raincloud for us that never faded.

To be bountiful and free from languor is gone,

مضى والتُقّى مَعهُ والعُلا

مضى والتُقّى مَعهُ والعُلا

فما لِلعُلى بعدَها من وُجودِ

فما لِلعُلى بعدَها من وُجودِ

He has passed away, and with him piety and eminence;

Gone, with piety his mate, and loftiness of mind,

so eminence has no existence after its passing.

So that sublimity can claim no place without him.

أقولُ لأعدائهِ الشّامتي

أقولُ لأعدائهِ الشّامتي

نَ أبُشِّرْتُمُ بعدَهُ بالخُلودِ

نَ أبُشِّرْتُمُ بعدَهُ بالخُلودِ

I say to his gloating enemies:

To his enemies, exulting in his loss, I say:

“Have you been promised immortality after him?”

"Rejoice not! Immortality is now your doom."
