1. One of the great disasters
That did away with excellence and virtues

2. O you of leadership, politics and a son of its foremost masters
The graves were delighted by you, and the houses were made desolate by your loss

3. Today obligations were suspended and a striker for Islam arrived
Who will be there for the poor, the stranger, the orphans and the widows

4. Who will take on the mighty adversities and defeat the fierce warriors
It descended upon the family of Muhammad and forgot the descending misfortunes

5. It studied the way of the hopeful and disabled its water springs
And the earth, its exterior became barren while its interior became populated

6. Death after you is a blessing and life after you is of no use
Either time changes with you as praise of you is never ending

7. In God and the trustworthy, the satisfactory is a substitute for the sane
The likes of the Caliph and the contentment compensated for the major sins

8. And the generous sons are for the generous and kinsmen for the fortresses
One whose brother is good and resembles him did not die in his endeavors

9. Asking the Commander of the Faithful with the tongues and the sheaths
Since there is no protection from the enemies except through fighting

10. In the young men whose swords, on the day of thrusting, had fortresses for them
Covering their hearts over the armors when the adversity comes

11. Bearing every grandeur, dignified and questioning
