1. For this we were created, and the new will be created
And hopes do not rise high, for death splits open

2. And the hands of fate have not left any group united
Nor have the hands of time left anything divided

3. And here we are, our fathers dead and our offspring
And what we build and erect is demolished

4. We hope for a long life in this world
And that is a dream that knocks on the sleeping quarters

5. So how many fell asleep happy with the first slumber
Only for the cup of death to be presented at the end of the night

6. Eyes fall asleep unaware that
Death is awake and restless

7. The leader of the people dies a loud death
It's all the same whether a lion from the jungle or a strangled one

8. And multitudes of soldiers cannot prevent death
Nor can doors, walls and trenches protect him

9. And how odd that we obey ourselves
To face every type of adversity that makes one choke

10. The delight of our life in this world is marred by harm
Even if it was created out of wishes

11. So blessed is the free man who is not deceived by it
And not pleased by it his whole life long

12. The daughter of Musa, may Allah have mercy on her
With His mercy she was created in the darkness of the grave

13. She grew up and matured obeying the Most Merciful
And she used to obey Him before passing away

14. So for most of her life, out of piety towards Him
She thought seclusion was only for her, so she lived in isolation

15. The bliss of this life is like the dreams of a sleeper
And the permanence of life is like a fading shadow

16. So she never stopped yearning for the dawn with praising
Until the brilliant face of dawn appeared

17. And she would cross the barren terrain fasting
Spending whatever money she had for the sake of God

18. Caring for the poor Muslims, for she
Was kinder and more compassionate than her father

19. It shows that the light shone in her heart
So she never stopped being like the shining sun for people

20. And the chaste woman does not speak nonsense openly or privately
Rather she speaks righteous words

21. The generous woman of a people who host guests without limits
And if she meets men, she turns away

22. And when she was firmly warned of death
She never stopped giving charity, obeying God

23. And death did not take her suddenly
But she saw being prepared was better

24. She prepared provisions to meet death
That would suffice her when people around her perish

25. And she embarked upon the ship of death protected
So neither her actions were blameworthy nor her honor defiled

26. And she arrived at a vast expanse, Allah having removed her constraints
And never is there scarcity for the successful one

27. She traveled among the people of the graves as a neighbor
And they stood aside for her on both sides, surrounding her

28.
So the once demolished buildings became populated dwellings

29. And the dwellings after her will surely flourish
O daughter of Musaa, O sister of Moses the Converser

30. May you remain an intercessor since your speech has not faded
The lanes and paths and lands wept for you

31. And every eyelid overflowed with tears
And if you were the origin of life, it has faded away

32. But your beauty made the branch fresh and leafy
So if you have become one of the dead, you are alive

33. For your memory remains and praise of you is most apt
No west or east remains without mention of you and your merits

34. And no sunrise remains without thanks for your actions
The prayers of God be upon you after Muhammad

35. And the purest praise from us that matches your chastity
Your husband of high moral standard will meet you in Paradise

36. As a stranger, and your daughter will be most ardent for that reunion
You were God's hidden mysteries

37. And you will all precede others in meeting God
You encountered separation from the world while united in piety

38. So glad tidings to you, you will reunite in Paradise
You are now relieved of sorrows, yet they have taken over us since you left

39. And patience for the bereaved one is most befitting
You left behind successors that comfort our hearts

40. And his brothers whose merit remains as long as they live
You are like rain that leaves the meadow

41. With flowers in bloom, at their base is musk that pounds
Saplings in starlight, pillars in the darkness

42. Sources of guidance for the preservation of faith
Our brothers in God, be patient with fate

43. For the same death that afflicted them will afflict us
We and they are on a journey - they went ahead of us

44. And we will join them soon enough
And the Stand brings us together after the graves

45. By which some became happy and others miserable
I advice you to be conscious of God and patient in tribulations

46. So that you may be rewarded for adversities
And how odd of me to send you condolences

47. When I was the first of you to suffer loss
If they could be ransomed from the occurrence of calamity

48. I would have preceded all in paying the ransom
But death's approach is inescapable for all creatures

49. And each one is bound by the pledge of mortality
We must strive to please God as we were inherently inclined
