1. These are nights, so don't be fooled by hope,
Have you ever heard of a shadow that doesn't move?

2. We may rejoice cutting the days shorter,
But every day that passes shortens our lifespan.

3. Where are the gatherings and the blossoming days,
When Abu Samra was at the peak of hope?

4. Muhammad lay dead above the bier,
Nothing but tears fell from my eyes.

5. O fate! Why do you torment my heart
For the death of one who was like heavy rain?
