1. Every living being is destined to perish
And to this path is his outcome

2. O the majesty that transcends time has passed
The Almighty Lord has decreed and His majesty has been exalted

3. Our fortune did not entail your stay with us
As one who shelters all people with His shade

4. The guide to dew and knowledge hoped for
Every day for His words and actions

5. Where is that cloud drawing near people
The dew of His palm and His fulfilment is high

6. Where are His rulings and where is His loftiness
Where are His words and where is His bestowal

7. Stop at the tomb of the Imam, O reproacher
And let crying wander aimlessly like his reason

8. And shed tears around his resting place profusely
As words are scattered spontaneously in prose

9. And leave poetry for it had its time
Its euphoria has changed

10. The ardour has calmed and meaning has rested
Neither its outbursts nor its excitement

11. The arena of the Sublime has been evacuated so the homes of poetry are ruins without him
Alas to those seeking knowledge and grants

12. After his determination has receded and his celebrations have ceased
The knowledge seeker in it laments grammar

13. Do not ask how his state has become
The seeker of generosity, the one who competed in generosity with his right and left hand, has died

14. The absolute knowledge seeker left the shackles of knowledge
His sorrow and reliance

15. Wondrous is his throne when it was planted
However its leaves and branches have withered

16. Wondrous is his time when it has passed
However its mountains have walked and crumbled

17. His soul has ascended to its like, al-Zahr
And where, where are its like on earth

18. Thus the stars of the horizon fell about
And the crescent moon stooped to initiate greetings

19. And we were devoid of dew and were met
By a delegation of hope seeking His majesty

20. What an affliction has prolonged in our religion and life
His occupation and inflammation in us

21. He was youthful like an old man, his son cried
And the old men cried over him as if over their children

22. And Egypt and Levant have lost a leader
Whose glory has been etched, this and that are his traits

23. How many a status have I heard of kings
His actions have manipulated

24. How many a tale by his right hand was resolved
And a questioner by it was answered

25. How many a relative by him appealed and stranger
While he was resolutely pouring the dew

26. How often have I been given on the mounts belonging to him
And qualities have been faithful to me over time

27. If I were to cry to the extent of sorrow
My intellect would have melted, how much virtues he has had over it

28. A cloud heading to the Most High has departed
After enriching the land with his plentifulness

29. Thus is the way of time with its people
It extends shade as you see then takes it away

30. And a buried over the remains has been buried
As was said by the one whose proverbs have spread

31. From this much to that much is this heedlessness from us
Of the certainty of demise and this confusion

32. He has departed, O Judge of Judges, in a tomb
In which You were a plentiful rain happily pouring down

33. And may God reward the generosity of Your palm over us
And Your donation and bestowal

34. The gentle breeze spreads praise of You from us
And anguish over You makes us sick
