1. We mentioned him, so our tears flowed
Informing every grieving soul

2. We knew you especially from all the household
You held a place in our hearts that made you most deserving

3. Your legs remain still at the bottom of a valley
If one were to rise, the other would fall

4. Above you two yellow birds, if you wish, would sing
Like two chicks reminded by the memory

5. And how many times did your right hand send its messenger
Only to meet the left hand shortly after

6. I wondered at him pulling his reigns
Not complaining where after ease comes hardship

7. Cleaving the smooth body of the camel, as if it were
A stream that the blowing wind crossed over

8. Oh if only the friend knew the agony of his death
And it was difficult for those fingers to bare

9. If one day the calamity of a companion grew
Yours would be the greatest calamity
