1. زُر مَضجعاً قَد باتَ مُلحمُ ثاوياً

    فيهِ فَناحَت كُلّ عَينٍ فَقدَهُ

    Visit a resting place: Mulhim has come to lie

    There, and every eye has lamented his loss.

  2. أَبكى بَني غبريلَ مَصرَعَهُ كَما

    بَكَت المَكارمُ وَالشَهامَةُ بَعدَهُ

    His death made the sons of Ghabriel weep, just as

    Noble virtues and gallantry wept after him.

  3. قَد سارَ قَبل الأَربعينَ مبادراً

    لَنَعيمِ رَبٍّ راحَ يَبغي مَجدَهُ

    He departed before forty, hastening

    To the bliss of a Lord whose glory he went seeking.

  4. فَجَزاهُ حَظُّ الصالِحينَ وَلَم يَزَل

    أرِّخ بغيثِ اللّطفِ يَسقي لحدَهُ

    So He rewarded him with the portion of the righteous, and still

    —record the date—He waters his grave with the rain of grace.
