1. ثاقب عاش في عَفاف وَصدقٍ

    وَجهاد بِماضيات السُيوفِ

    Thaqib lived in chastity and truthfulness,

    And in combat with keen-edged swords.

  2. وَسَعى نَحوَ رَبه في أَمان

    بِاشتياق لِدانيات القُطوف

    And he hastened toward his Lord in safety,

    With longing for the low-hanging clusters of fruit.

  3. فَتلقته حور جَنة عَدن

    بَينَ أَترابِها بِقَلب عَطوف

    Then the houris of the Garden of Eden welcomed him,

    Among their peers, with a tender heart.

  4. ثُمَ قالَت في الخلد لِلفَوز أَرخ

    ثاقب في رِحاب رؤف

    Then, in eternity, they said, 'Record this triumph’s date:

    Thaqib is in the precincts of the Compassionate.'
