1. رَمسٌ لأسبرَ قَد سَقَت صَفحاتَهُ

    سُحبُ الرِّضى في بُكرَةٍ وَأَصيلِ

    A tomb for Asbar, whose sides have been watered

    By clouds of favor at dawn and dusk.

  2. شَهمٌ تَرَدَّى بِالصَلاحِ وَلَم يَزَل

    في النّاسِ مَذكوراً بِكُل جَميلِ

    A noble man, robed in righteousness, who never ceased

    To be remembered among the people for every good quality.

  3. هَذا الَّذي اِتَخَذَ التَصَبُّرَ في البَلا

    درعاً فَاحرزَ أَيَّما اِكليلِ

    This is he who took patient endurance amid affliction

    As a shield—and what a crown he won!

  4. يا آلَ ميخائيلَ إِنَّ فَقيدَكُم

    في جَنَةٍ طابَت لِكُلِّ نَزيلِ

    O family of Michael, indeed your departed one

    Is in a paradise delightful to every guest.

  5. أَمسى هُناكَ كُما يُؤرّخ آمِناً

    فَأَقامَ تَحتَ جَناحِ ميخائيلِ

    He is now there, secure, as the chronogram records:

    So he dwelt beneath Michael's wing.
