1. What mourner mourned for me, what mourner?
Allah did not strike His people with deception

2. He did not pasture me, though the people oft pastured
Our hearts frightened by trembling

3. No, no pain to my heart with what he said
But he cured my pains with it

4. And indeed I said, when I heard what I had
Hoped for Allah, the pearl of the mourner

5. Good news gladdening my heart, though it was
Grieved, exciting my dwelling

6. I never ceased hating every harbinger
Of death until the mourner mourned

7. He gladdened the heart with the glad tidings, not still
Alive with asking and pleasure

8. And if I could I would share my lifetime
Then my riches and pleasure and possessions

9. For him, and rights should be wrapped up and tended
Every right upon me, not neglected

10. Indeed an illness that destroyed whoever was
To the world an illness, the lord of pains

11. The mine of hypocrisy has passed and the root of
Deceit from us, and head of all cheating

12. And I who was in a mask, when he
Was lost, I cast off my mask

13. You were selling me short while alive
And you were shrouded in dust and lengthened my sale

14. And you wanted harm upon me, and God sufficed
In place of my harm, my benefiting

15. And my plain filled up from the meadows as I
Desired, not with my retrieving

16. And God's fighting off from me, O my friend
As you see, sufficed me apart from my fighting

17. Destinies battled you from me though
I am valiant and you are not valiant

18. And God cast in your darkness when
It covered all the people entirely

19. And trees you planted hastily reaped as a
Gift from God alone, by uprooting

20. And if you built and emigrated still my
Yearning for you and quarrel with you will not cease

21. And whenever I am asked of you, my saying
Is may he who tends, tend to the tender

22. And hearts stony in death with worries
Did not grow soft towards you in coming to you

23. To you a bit of all good, for I
Devoted myself to only evil with toil

24. Indeed betrayal which did not spare you
From its disloyalty whatever pierced my chest

25. And my delusion with you in the morning, as
A mirage deluded with its shimmering

26. And God made wretched whoever was not in him
Good in ease or breadth

27. And if I clung to him, my clinging
To the side of a wanderer, by your life, wandering

28. There was between what I hated and loved
Only a short time

29. And God sufficed me the hated from you swiftly
By the defense of God, not my defense

30. And my dwelling filled from the meadows as I
Desired, not with my retrieving

31. And God's fighting off from me, my friend
As you see, sufficed me apart from my fighting

32. Destinies battled you against me though
I am valiant and you are not valiant

33. And God cast in your darkness when
It covered all the people entirely

34. And vines you planted hastily reaped as a
Gift from God and Him alone, by uprooting

35. And if you built and emigrated still my
Yearning for you and quarrel with you will not cease

36. And whenever I am asked of you, my saying
Is may he who tends, tend to the tender

37. And hearts stony in death with worries
Did not grow soft towards you in coming to you

38. To you a bit of all good, for I
Devoted myself to only evil with toil

39. Indeed betrayal that did not spare you
From its disloyalty whatever pierced my chest

40. And my delusion with you in the morning, as
A mirage deluded with its shimmering

41. And God made wretched whoever was not in him
Good in ease or breadth

42. And if I clung to him, my clinging
To the side of a wanderer, by your life, wandering

43. There was between what I hated and loved
Only a short time

44. And God sufficed me the hated from you swiftly
By the defense of God, not my defense

45. And my plain filled from the meadows as I
Desired, not with my retrieving

46. And God's fighting off from me, my friend
As you see, sufficed me apart from my fighting

47. You battled me with arrows, but they
Did no harm, and God is my armor

48. All my thanks that I attained what I
Had hoped for with Allah, not my doing

49. And I had enough hated from you soon
By the defense of God, not mine

50. And my dwelling filled from meadows as I wished, not
With effort, and repelling of God sufficed me, O friend

51. Destinies battled you against me though
I am bold and you are not bold

52. And God cast in your darkness when
It covered all the people, the lifting of blindness

53. And trees you planted hastily were harvest
Gifts from God alone, by uprooting

54. And if you built and emigrated, still my
Longing for you, no enmity toward you

55. Whenever asked of you, I say
May he who tends, tend to one who needs tending

56. And stony hearts, when dead worries
Did not grow tender toward you in coming to you

57. For you a bit of all good, for I
Devoted myself to evil alone, with toil

58. If betrayal lodged in him, its disloyalty
Did not spare you, piercing my ribs

59. And my delusion with you in the morning, like
A mirage's deceptive shimmer

60. God made wretched those not good
In ease or scope

61. And if I clung to him, my clinging
To one wandering, by your life, wandering

62. Between what I hated and loved
Only a brief time

63. God spared me what I hated from you swiftly
By His defense, not mine

64. And my plain the meadows filled, as I wished
Not by my retrieving

65. God's repelling from me, O friend
Sufficed, as you see, beyond my fighting

66. You never considered me one of those
You led to their time by deceiving
