Sol 6.1

  1. رَمسٌ ثَواهُ كَريمُ قَومٍ ماجِدٌ

    فَجَرى عَليهِ الدَمعُ مِثلَ العَندَمِ

    A grave where an illustrious man, noble among his people, rests;

    So tears flowed over it like crimson dye.

  2. شَهمٌ قَضى بِاللَهِ مُرتَحلاً إِلى

    دارِ السَعادةِ في النَعيمِ الأَعظَمِ

    A gallant man who died—by God—departing for

    The abode of happiness, amid supreme bliss.

  3. وَمَضى إِلى اللَهِ الغَفورِ ميمِّماً

    مِن عَفوِهِ الفَيّاضِ خَيرَ مُيمَّمِ

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

    From His overflowing pardon the best that could be sought.

  4. مِن آلِ طاسو مِن أَفاضل مَعشَرٍ

    فازوا بِمَجدٍ في الأَنامِ مُكرَّمِ

    Of the house of Tasso, among the noblest of a people

    Who won a glory held in honor among humankind.

  5. هَدَمَتْ بِهِ الأَيّامُ رُكنَ عِصابَةٍ

    فَهَوى وَلَكن ذِكرُهُ لَم يهدمِ

    In him, time brought down a pillar of his community;

    So he fell, and yet his memory was not destroyed.

  6. وَلَقَد أَقامَ بِمَضجَعٍ هُوَ ضِمنهُ

    ذُخرٌ غَدا لِثَراهُ أَكرَمَ مَغنَمِ

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

    A treasure that became its dust’s most precious prize.

  7. فَأَتى مُؤرِّخُهُ يُنادي باكِراً

    لَكَ أَيُّها القَبرُ البِشارَةُ فَاِنعَمِ

    Then his chronicler came early, calling out:

    Glad tidings to you, O grave—so rejoice!
