1. O eye, shed unrestrained tears
Like raindrops streaming down my cheeks

2. And mourn a brother whose character was praiseworthy
Like the radiant, unobscured crescent moon

3. The horseman was overtaken by his fate
Leaving my heart shattered beyond repair

4. What a noble lad you were when the gusting winds
Moaned like lovesick desert gazelles

5. And the horses stumbled over the scowling heroes
Like frightened ostriches in flight
