تَعالَوا نَزُر قَبرَ السَماحَةِ وَالعُلى

تَعالَوا نَزُر قَبرَ السَماحَةِ وَالعُلى

وَلا نَعتَذِر مِن دَمعِ عَينٍ عَلى خَدِّ

وَلا نَعتَذِر مِن دَمعِ عَينٍ عَلى خَدِّ

Come, let us visit the grave of generosity and eminence.

Come let us visit the grave of magnanimity and loftiness

And let us not apologize for an eye’s tears upon a cheek.

And we need not apologize for tears that flow down the cheek

لَقَد عِشتَ لَم يَعلَق بِعَقلِكَ ذامَةٌ

لَقَد عِشتَ لَم يَعلَق بِعَقلِكَ ذامَةٌ

وَمُتَّ عَلى رُغمِ المَحامِدِ وَالمَجدِ

وَمُتَّ عَلى رُغمِ المَحامِدِ وَالمَجدِ

Indeed, you lived, and no blemish clung to your mind.

You lived such that no blemish stained your reason

And you died despite your virtues and glory.

And you died despite praises and glory
