1. The righteous have passed, and the pure master,
So the eminent's heart is empty after him.

2. The guide of light was buried in the ground,
So religion's intelligence has darkened and the full moon eclipsed.

3. Dew has died, so let the tongues of praise elegize it,
And let the whites and browns weep the lion of turmoil.

4. It is right that virtues tear open their garments
And lament him, and nobility and pride mourn him.

5. He is the glorious giver - whatever is in his right hand -
He is the devoted returner, the intercessor and the odd prayer.

6. He is free on the day of war when swords sheathe him
And is remembered in the shrine by the mention.

7. So do not reckon that time has destroyed his person,
But by his death, time itself was destroyed.

8. If his people buried him according to his merit,
The cosmos would be too small, even if the sky was his tomb.

9. Burying him in the ground is only because of our knowledge
That he is a treasure for it and provision for us.

10. Only optionally did we wash him with water,
For say to me, when has the sea become impure?

11. A young man who imports Indian steel as if it were butter
And believes it to be sincere while it is deceitful tin.

12. He contained virtue, preference, asceticism and prohibition
And accompanied benevolence, generosity and righteousness.

13. After his death, the laws were suspended
And God's boundaries, prohibitions and commands vanished.

14. Do religious duties and extra prayers have sanctity?
And after him, do the nights of destiny have any worth?

15. It is hard on the Chosen One and Sanu, his company,
Because they know he is the righteous son.

16. So the grieved is not blamed, agonized by his tragedy,
For in the like of this misfortune, patience is unseemly.

17. How great are the Mahdi's sons! If only he claimed
He is the Mahdi and the Green One supported him.

18. Noble, as if God deferred his death
So those who missed his full moon may earn reward through him.

19. How can the meadows of grief smile with his light
And hope for life when the rain has perished?

20. How can we hope the night has an end
When darkness has buried the dawn in the earth?

21. What bones in his grave are so momentous
That they make poetry seem paltry by grieving for him?

22. We pray for them while they are needless of us,
But through them our reward is magnified.

23. We praise them craving their praise
So that the scent of his sweetness lingers in mouths.

24. They have risen above the level of elegies,
Above the tears of mourners, even if they are pearls.

25. After him, who remains for the orphans and widows?
And from whom can we expect relief if hardship strikes us?

26. As if the world around him before his mission
Called them from the graves on the day of his resurrection.

27. If the nights betrayed him, their nature is betrayal,
And harming him would not hurt them if he were ransomed.

28. The breeze of contentment blew toward his grave
With lingering traces of his sweet perfume.

29. Entrusted to the Merciful is the best of farewells -
After him remains our fervor and contemplation.

30. He turned away, so for the world and its people
There is weeping, sorrow - and for it, good tidings.

31. The call to join the heavenly maidens made him visit them,
And he did not know after him who the separation would kill.

32. So let not the envious gloat over him, for
His noble sons will silence them in death.

33. If his sons and grandsons survive,
Woe to the enemies - let the wolf and eagle rejoice!

34. Brave lions who aspired to greatness as is their right,
And flourished, the influence of gratitude upon them.

35. Kings whose morals are pure, as if they are
Gardens of heavens and their morals are flowers.

36. As if between them Ali is the full moon of the fourteenth night,
And around him shine stars of flowers.

37. If Ali remains safe in glory and eminence,
Then neither will Zeid speak nor Amr.

38. The fall of any disaster is easy for us
If he exists, even if the matter is grave.

39. My masters, this is the way of time in the world,
There is no lasting good or evil in it.

40. Excuse what it brings upon you - how often
Before you has it committed grave outrage.

41. May God reward you multiplied compensation
And relieve the difficulty after it with ease.

42. May He inspire you with beautiful patience by His grace,
And extend upon you in fortune a happy lifetime.
