1. O support of those weakened at (the battle of) Uhud,
You were greeted from a house and from a support.

2. There is nothing in your abode but stagnant (water),
Rough ground and pits like a flapping chick,

3. And the pools are like basins drawn below spouts
Of torrents pouring from them and tent pegs planted around.

4. And the wildlife in them is as though hamal grazing
Among the twisting flow of the writhe.

5. You were substituted for the hyraxes of gazelles and cattle
That were not like preserved progeny.

6. Are you angry or content with what you
Were substituted with after them, so you have lost them?

7. You were changed to other than contentment, and it carried away from you
The turns of fate and eternity.

8. We will only ascend if you have for us
One day a share, so there is a promise for tomorrow.

9. You have become the most beloved of all people to me
Without favor or hand (generosity).

10. I devoted it through sharing to the goodness
Of the sole dispenser of Kings.

11. You and the hands of the riders are working
To make lawful every new earnested effort.

12. To me is more beloved than drink and wealth
And the sweetness of life and children,

13. No living person has met as I met you
From a man who did not die and was not worn down.

14. He seems healthy walking while his insides
Are sick, its pain stinging his liver.

15. It is as though it is a painted doll
In the churches of the Coptics.

16. You killed a soul without a soul, and did not
Kill, seek retaliation, or guide.

17. What will it have after tomorrow in death
If the inheritors come to share me?

18. You did not rob me of my reason and your separation from
Weakness, but by breathing into knots.

19. If only I had not attached myself to you,
And if only she had not promised through sharing.

20. How long will you fulfill your promise, for
My standing for your tedious promise has been long.

21. You left me standing in doubt, I did not intend
Despair from you nor refuse.
