1. رَمسٌ ثَواهُ كَريمُ قَومٍ ماجِدٌ

    فَجَرى عَليهِ الدَمعُ مِثلَ العَندَمِ

    A grave where a noble, illustrious man of his people has come to rest;

    So tears flowed over it like crimson dye.

  2. شَهمٌ قَضى بِاللَهِ مُرتَحلاً إِلى

    دارِ السَعادةِ في النَعيمِ الأَعظَمِ

    A noble-hearted man passed away—by God—departing for

    The abode of happiness, amid the greatest bliss.

  3. وَمَضى إِلى اللَهِ الغَفورِ ميمِّماً

    مِن عَفوِهِ الفَيّاضِ خَيرَ مُيمَّمِ

    And he went to God, the All-Forgiving, seeking

    The best destination in His overflowing pardon.

  4. مِن آلِ طاسو مِن أَفاضل مَعشَرٍ

    فازوا بِمَجدٍ في الأَنامِ مُكرَّمِ

    Of the house of Taso, among a community's finest,

    Who won honored glory among humankind.

  5. هَدَمَتْ بِهِ الأَيّامُ رُكنَ عِصابَةٍ

    فَهَوى وَلَكن ذِكرُهُ لَم يهدمِ

    In him, the days brought down a pillar of a fellowship;

    So he fell, yet his memory was not destroyed.

  6. وَلَقَد أَقامَ بِمَضجَعٍ هُوَ ضِمنهُ

    ذُخرٌ غَدا لِثَراهُ أَكرَمَ مَغنَمِ

    And indeed he has settled in a resting place, where he is

    A treasure that became its soil's noblest prize.

  7. فَأَتى مُؤرِّخُهُ يُنادي باكِراً

    لَكَ أَيُّها القَبرُ البِشارَةُ فَاِنعَمِ

    So his chronicler came, calling out early:

    Glad tidings are yours, O grave; so rejoice!
