1. Is there a tear in your eyes for one who cries
For a crying man whose tears are all dried?

2. Every day for my people is a huge mourning
With the efforts of crying and wailing.

3. Nothing is left but the blackness of my eyes overflowing
With tears for the past youth that is departing.

4. He shot two meteors from their horizons, aiming
At two birds, wounding them with injuries and gashes.

5. After arbitration among the birds of every forest and copse
He hit them. The eagles held back from the piercing glances.

6. And nations came to the birds thronging
To declare allegiance with bodies and souls.

7. They dominated the atmosphere until it was said they took
The manner of controlling water with wind.

8. When the messenger of the wind called them, they approached.
They found their mounts in the shining procession.

9. Two martyred kings fell from their thrones and their rule
Fell between pains and wounds.

10. Rule belongs to God - how many a kingdom
Has perished between morning and evening!

11. The calamity of the Caliphate - Egypt felt its bitterness.
She does not awake, nor listen to the ardent.

12. It erased joy and made every winged creature weep,
Yet in the heart it left no trace of solace.

13. Continued mourning by the clan of Othman after which
They saw naught but festivals and joy.

14. The two martyrs built their glory high among the stars
In a shining place of pure honor and brilliance.

15. My sublime people know their abode
In the meeting place of treasures and illuminations.

16. They shone in the orbits of meteors and were revived
In the highest view of the discerning and perceptive.

17. They came when the world adorned itself with necklaces
And they adorned it with swords and spears.

18. If glory were asked, “To whom are you affiliated?”
Glory would eloquently declare their elocution.

19. No closed blindness did people suffer
Except my people treated it with a key.

20. They freed the universe from the shackles of corruption,
And administered affairs, so they reformed them.

21. I have not come to them with winding rhymes in praise
Except I found them above my praises.
