1. لِبَنِي مُسلَّمَ بَعدَ فَقَدِ مُرادِهِم

    حُزنٌ يَدومُ عَلى تَوالي الأَدهُرِ

    For the sons of Musallam, after the loss of their Murad,

    a grief endures through the succession of ages.

  2. رُكنٌ ذوو الحاجات خَيرَ ذَخيرةٍ

    دَفنت بِها الأَيّامُ أَكرَمَ جَوهرِ

    A pillar for those in need, the finest treasure,

    Time buried there the noblest jewel,

  3. في تُربةٍ كَتبَ المُؤرِّخُ فَوقَها

    يا رَمسُ قَد حَزَتَ المرادَ فَاِبشِرِ

    in soil upon which the chronicler wrote:

    O grave, you have gained Murad—so rejoice!
