رَمسٌ بِهِ مِن آلِ لطفي راحلٌ

رَمسٌ بِهِ مِن آلِ لطفي راحلٌ

حَلَّت عَلَيهِ مَراحِمُ اللَهِ الصَمَدْ

حَلَّت عَلَيهِ مَراحِمُ اللَهِ الصَمَدْ

A grave wherein lies a departed member of the Lutfi family;

upon him have descended the mercies of God, the Eternal Refuge.

شَهمٌ بِتَقوى اللَهِ عاشَ وَبرُّهُ

شَهمٌ بِتَقوى اللَهِ عاشَ وَبرُّهُ

وَرعاً وَتَحتَ رَجاءِ رَحمَتِهِ رَقَدْ

وَرعاً وَتَحتَ رَجاءِ رَحمَتِهِ رَقَدْ

A noble man, he lived in fear of God, and his virtue was

piety; and beneath the hope of His mercy he lay at rest.

وَلَقَد دَعاهُ اللَهُ نَحوَ جِوارِهِ

وَلَقَد دَعاهُ اللَهُ نَحوَ جِوارِهِ

فَأَجابَ مُبتَدِراً وَفاتَ لَنا الجَسدْ

فَأَجابَ مُبتَدِراً وَفاتَ لَنا الجَسدْ

And indeed God called him to His side;

so he answered without delay, and his body was lost to us.

فَأَحَلَّهُ أَرَّختُ ساحَةَ دارِهِ

فَأَحَلَّهُ أَرَّختُ ساحَةَ دارِهِ

إِذ شاءَ أَن يَحيا الحَبيبُ إِلى الأَبَدْ

إِذ شاءَ أَن يَحيا الحَبيبُ إِلى الأَبَدْ

So He lodged him—I marked the date—in the courtyard of His abode,

as He willed that the beloved should live forever.
