1. After the prolonging of days,
my heart has become in the place of my mold in Damascus

2. If I die of sorrow, then my sons have
died in their Damascus from execution

3. O you two ministers, you two are the ones
Who do not have mercy on me, but have mercy on my orphans

4. Who will carry them on my eyes, for I have
No way to carry them on my feet

5. So your compulsion to my heart will be their compulsion
For they are, in every way, my bones

6. O protection for widows and youths
You have remained the protection of Islam

7. I swear by your glory and gifts
I would have neither a past nor a future
