1. I lament to you the signs of hearts together
None remains except the student of knowledge

2. I lament to you hearts from which for long
Poured down showers of generosity, oceans of wisdom

3. I lament to you souls whose monument lies
Beyond perception, nay in the monument of antiquity

4. I lament to you the tongue of truth since an epoch
It perished and its remembrance is like nonexistence in the mind

5. I lament to you an eloquence which ears
Of every eloquent speaker of coherent speech used to seek

6. I lament - by your right - manners of a group
Whose mounts were from the source of patience

7. They all passed away, no eye or trace
Passing of a people and loss of loved ones, a ruin
