1. I weep profusely, then weep some more
As I grieve, lament, and implore

2. My tears flow freely down my cheeks
For the noble man the death reeks

3. He who brought about many calamities
And told the eyes of mortals to shed tear seas

4. Alas! Khorasan was stricken by the loss of its pride
The morning Umair bin Al Waleed died

5. Alas! You were afflicted with the death of a helpful advisor
Alas! You were deprived of a beneficial provider

6. Indeed, munificence and charity have descended
Where you settled in the sands

7. By my soul! You were a king whose fate
Was sealed by a wayward arrow of deadly trait

8. The darkness of sadness lifted from his face
Bloodied by his pure vermillion trace

9. Oh sea of grief! In the generous year, from him you ebbed
Oh lion of sorrow! Morning came, and pride you robbed

10. Is it the noble warrior you defeated?
Yes, and the killer of the noble hero you treated

11. To the stabber he was exposed
As the faces of death rosed

12. None veiled his head but the sword
That masked him with its steely facade

13. Oh what a majestic fall you brought
That evoked utmost grief and sorrow fraught

14. Oh what a battlefield you left behind
To torment our hearts for all time

15. Indeed our prince was never remiss
In just rule and care for his people and troops

16. To them he gave generously
Forgiving folly and stupidity

17. He stood before death to protect them
Until death gave him the poison cup to sip

18. They could not defeat him
Until faced by lions and snarling hyenas

19. With stabs penetrating their chests
And blows landing on their heads

20. Oh Tuesday! We woke to your overwhelming calamity
Oh Tuesday! We relied on the pillar of certainty lost

21. How many tears you drew from our eyes
How many revered men under your soil now lie

22. Your birds are not silenced from eulogizing
Your stars not ceased from rising

23. Oh fallen majestic king
Wrapped in death's cloak, coffinled

24. I came to your door in utter grief
Overtaken by suffocation and disbelief

25. I saw neglected steeds
And swords sheathed from heroic deeds

26. Made either to free a captive
Or slay an arrogant combative

27. I saw your hopeful followers' state shift
Fortunes raised them then adrift

28. While in your presence they rose so high
In your absence to the ground they doth lie

29. All resigned to despair for your loss
Halting aspiration, settling as dross

30. To you, delegations stopped their tread
As no reception for them ahead

31. Eyes of munificence heated for your intention
As the purpose of this elegy gained traction
