1. لَقَد سارَ جبريلُ الكَريمُ مُهاجراً

    إِلى اللَهِ يَبغي نَيلَ مُنيتِهِ الكُبرَى

    Indeed, noble Gabriel has journeyed as an emigrant

    To God, seeking to attain his greatest wish.

  2. عَزيزٌ بَكى آلَ المخلَّعِ بَعدَهُ

    عَميداً بَكاهُ الفَضلُ وَالشِّيَمُ الغرّا

    A cherished man, mourned after his passing by the family of al-Mukhalla‘,

    A leader whom virtue and radiant noble qualities mourned.

  3. مَضى فَثوى في طَيِّ لَحدٍ تَنَزَّلَت

    مَلائِكةُ الرَحمانِ مِن فَوقهِ تَترى

    He departed, then lay enfolded in a grave; there descended

    The angels of the Most Merciful from above him, one after another,

  4. عَلى تُربةٍ أَرِّخ رَسَمنا بِصَفحها

    أَيا حامِلاً بُشرى السَلامِ لَكَ البُشرى

    Upon a tomb, on whose face we inscribed—record the date:

    O bearer of glad tidings of peace, glad tidings are yours.
