1. مَضى عنَّا محمَّدُ في صِباهُ

    كخَسفِ البَدرِ في وقتِ الكمالِ

    Muhammad departed from us in his youth,

    Like the eclipse of the full moon at its fullest.

  2. وباتَ مُجاوِرَاً رباً كريماً

    تُحيطُ بهِ مَلائكةُ الأعالي

    And he came to dwell beside a generous Lord;

    The angels of the heights surround him.

  3. فقُلْ لبَنِي حمادَةَ لا جَزِعتمْ

    فإنَّ الصَّبرَ مِن شِيَمِ الرِّجالِ

    So tell the sons of Hamada: Do not despair,

    For patience is among the virtues of men.

  4. سَيفنى الكلُّ بالتأريخِ حقاً

    ويبقى وجهُ ربِّكَ ذو الجَلالِ

    All shall surely perish, as the chronogram records,

    And the face of your Lord, possessed of majesty, shall remain.
