1. Shall I weep for you or weep for the dew and heights?
Or eulogize you or eulogize my beautiful consolation?

2. Except that today when you were so keen
On glory, lest it entice the lowly.

3. So my soul has become a ray I gather to myself
And my soul refuses but to perish.

4. When the sunset of tears dries from weeping
The melting of my insides sends the channels flowing.

5. And my life with you was flourishing and lush
So my tears for you now redden mournfully.

6. My tears race me in eulogy
So I string my tears and words into necklaces.

7. I saw you destroy my patience and solace
And bequeath me lasting lifelong sorrow.

8. And I am not alone for I lost you alone
But rather I miss a spirit, hopes and dreams.

9. A light from the heavens of Hashim fell
Its glow was unveiling the darkness.

10. And the Hashimites altogether lost
The pillar of its loftiness and its protecting attorney.

11. So the abode of glory after your grandfather
Became desolate when with him it prospered happily.

12. Hands competed proudly to carry him
But carried only the dew and hands.

13. One hand held in the guts fearing their fall
Another carried his sublime bier.

14. How could they walk with his bier
When they carried a mountain of dreams and vision?

15. No wonder their tears watered the ground
For in their arms they carried the valleys.

16. With disdain, fate struck Ahmad's elite
And the eyelids of glory and honor weep.

17. I called you, O succor of the desperate, but you did not answer
Though you always responded to our call readily.

18. It saddens me that the help and rescue
You were known for did not answer the call.

19. Whenever the anguished cried out desperately
They saw in you a shelter of protection.

20. Divested of the resolve of the past, perceptive
Vanquishing notions, elucidating the confused.

21. You fulfilled eighty pilgrimages in the world
Spreading traits that bear spreading wisely.

22. So by God, your ascending soul
Only gained more effort as your life lengthened.

23. Unique in your qualities, composing
Masterpieces, whence the ages were barren.

24. You humbled yourself until pride was sure
It attempted in vain your lofty qualities.

25. So it remained lowly in its arrogance
While you remained lofty in your humility.

26. And piety to God held for you a position
Where you warded off passions, distancing them.

27. So O hero, you battled the soul and desire
Under my thigh, I offer you congratulations.

28. Your day is favor and your night obedience
Sufficient for God, your worth evident.

29. If fate was pleased with ransom
We would cheapen our souls, however dear.

30. You passed, leaving deeds immortal
So shame that transient wealth should perish.

31. When a man remains in time praised
Though his days expire, he remains eternal.

32. You quenched with the rain of grace, kindness and pleasure
A tomb your body settled in restfully.

33. It contained virtue, kindness and devotion
Sanctifying a grave for such nobility.
