لَما أَحاط بِجانفزا

لَما أَحاط بِجانفزا

جَيش الرَدى وَلَها غَزا

جَيش الرَدى وَلَها غَزا

When Janfaza was surrounded

When Jānfizā's environs

By the army of death, which waged war against her,

Were invaded by the army of destruction

وَسَطا عَلَيها بَغتة

وَسَطا عَلَيها بَغتة

وَنَضا الصَوارم وَاِعتَزى

وَنَضا الصَوارم وَاِعتَزى

And fell upon her suddenly,

And it suddenly descended upon her

And drew its keen swords and boasted,

Unsheathing swords and fully armed

وَأَطاب نَحر طَبيبها

وَأَطاب نَحر طَبيبها

مِن قَبل أَن يَتجهَّزا

مِن قَبل أَن يَتجهَّزا

And relished the slaughter of her physician,

And slew her physician

Before he could make ready,

Before he could prepare

وَأَذاقَها كَأس الحما

وَأَذاقَها كَأس الحما

م وَأَمرها قَد أَنجَزا

م وَأَمرها قَد أَنجَزا

And made her taste the cup of death,

And made her drink the cup

And brought her affair to its end,

Of death having sealed her fate

كُسفت لَها شَمسُ الضُحى

كُسفت لَها شَمسُ الضُحى

وَالبَدر بِالخسف ارتَزا

وَالبَدر بِالخسف ارتَزا

For her, the morning sun was eclipsed,

The sun at noon faded for her

And the full moon was held fast in eclipse;

And the moon eclipsed in grief

وَبَكى العَفاف لفقدها

وَبَكى العَفاف لفقدها

وَشَكا وَقَد عيل العَزا

وَشَكا وَقَد عيل العَزا

And chastity wept at losing her

Chastity wept at her loss

And lamented, its patience exhausted.

Complaining, burdened by mourning

وَالحُور قَد قالَت لَها

وَالحُور قَد قالَت لَها

بُشراك في دار الجَزا

بُشراك في دار الجَزا

And the houris said to her:

The heavenly maidens said to her

“Glad tidings to you in the abode of recompense!”

"Congratulations in the Abode of Recompense"

وَلَها هنالك أَرّخت

وَلَها هنالك أَرّخت

بِالخُلد زينة جانفزا

بِالخُلد زينة جانفزا

And there, for her, I inscribed a chronogram:

And there she was adorned

“In Paradise, Janfaza is an adornment.”

With eternity, Jānfizā's beauty
