1. يا ناد يا فرقة الأحباب هم قدموا

    على الكريم فماذا الحزن والندم

    O you who cry, 'O parting of loved ones!'—they have come

    before the Generous One—why, then, grief and regret?

  2. سلّم لربّك ما يقضيه مُقتفياً

    آثار قوم له مذ سلّموا سَلموا

    Submit to your Lord in what He decrees, following

    the footsteps of those who found safety once they submitted to Him.

  3. واصبر على ما قضى مولاك محتسباً

    تَنَل من الفضل ما يُرجى ويُغتنم

    And patiently bear what your Master decrees, seeking His reward;

    you will gain from His bounty what is hoped for and eagerly seized.

  4. ما أوجد اللَه في الدنيا سيُعدمه

    لا تطمعنّ في وجود ما به عدم

    Whatever God brought into being in this world, He will bring to nothing.

    Do not hope for lasting existence in what carries extinction within it.

  5. قد أثبت نحو هذا الكون حكمته

    وللمُدبّر في تصريفه حكَم

    He has shown His wisdom concerning this universe,

    and the Disposer has wise purposes in His governance.

  6. هل في الحياة دواماً للورى طمع

    من بعد موت رسول الله بينهم

    Have mortals any hope of living forever

    after the death of God's Messenger in their midst?

  7. مَن كفّه سبّحت فيها الحصى وجرت

    منها عيون زلال دونها الديم

    He in whose palm the pebbles praised God, while there flowed

    from it springs of limpid water, surpassing the steady rains.

  8. عظيم قد رسُمَت أوصاف خلقته

    وقد سما خُلقاً من وصفه العظَم

    A great one, whose bodily features have been portrayed,

    and lofty in character is he whose attribute is greatness.

  9. تُرى تَرى مقلتي أنوار حجرته

    كيما أنادي فمن ناداه يعتصم

    Will my eye, I wonder, see the lights of his chamber,

    so that I may call out? For whoever calls upon him finds refuge.

  10. يا خير مَن دُفنَت بالقاع أعظمه

    فطاب من طيبهنّ القاع والأكم

    O best of those whose bones are buried in the plain,

    the plain and hillocks grew fragrant from their fragrance.

  11. روحي الفداء لقبر أنت ساكنه

    فيه العفاف وفيه الجود والكرم

    May my soul be ransom for the grave in which you dwell:

    in it is chastity, and in it are bounty and generosity.

  12. عليك أزكى صلاة لا انقضاء لها

    وافت بأزكى سلام ليس ينفصم

    Upon you be the purest blessing, without end,

    coming with the purest greeting of peace, never broken.
