1. The descendant of a noble panther- where could a similar young panther be?
And a delicate child of eminence- where could a similar delicate child be?

2. They saw your frail figure and thought highly of you,
And no wonder since the crescent moon is also frail.

3. And they said to the one who hid you- wait, you have exhausted us!
Do you bring up someone over the burial of the crescent moon gently?

4. You excelled in superiority before even weaning
And I have not gained anything as a child that elders have not gained.

5. If excellence were counted which existed in you, and one boasted
Then an enumerator lives as long as you live, though it is little.

6. And one who finds your qualities fair, the eyes have seen of you
And the minds have seen of you what is more beautiful than it.

7. When did fate make me see that it dedicated its strength
To your good fortune, and the world leant favourably towards me?

8. I gained from your days foundations for the heights-
Branches grew from them for the heights, and foundations.

9. It hit me with the arrow of the eye, so my instrument fell down
And in the early morning there was debris left of me.

10. I have been thirsty for the encounter, and we will meet in Paradise,
So my wish, what way to you is there?

11. My day is spent by the rivers and the garden is desolate
Without you, and as for my night- it is barren.

12. And my soul melts away with my breath from the heat
So from where will the hot agony be soothed with tears?

13. I try to console myself, but who consoles me when
Those who console have passed away, the foundations have been named?

14. I knew the world to be a deceiver, completely misleading
And they were deceivers who had delusions.

15. And it is not good that I see every master
Whom a grave hides while the wilderness is beautiful.

16. I pretended to be patient, but tears exposed me
As did white hair expose the inner darkness of the head.

17. I have faced from the days every great one
Which throws soil on the lion and assaults him.

18. They say he had a family and shelter- your son
And he was like the sincere ones among the deceivers.

19. So today he meets no-one but enemies
Indeed, the stranger has no friend.

20. I lost the beloved of my soul, and I longed for him
Is there any way for me to reach the beloved?

21. Do you not know that I courted enemies
And that a light person does not like a heavy one?

22. And I was gentle towards them, while they were hard
It is all the same to them, whether it is soft or rigid.

23. So when they let go and questioned without hands
I lifted my hand from them, so it was said- flexible!

24. And if they were fair, they would say we envied him
So we did not carry his load though it was portable.

25. And from the wonders of the world- a stranger is liked
And from the miseries of the world- an ignorant fool.

26. I was true to my promise while the nights are fleeting
And I struggled with myself while the time is stingy.

27. And I chose my religion and was content with what suffices me
And I lived honourably while the stranger is disgraced.

28. And I do not hope that people will recognize my value
And excellence to them, and redundancies are equal.

29. The days gathered against me until they defeated me
Regarding the One, though the news regarding Him is great.

30. His blood flowed until his own soul flowed in it
And my assumption has sworn that he is killed.

31. And his brain is like my brain, so let my tears
Decide which of the two brains will flow.

32. A dear one flowed in the pure pearl until when he disappeared
The attributes of the crescent moon disappeared at the sunset.

33. And two tearful eyes were not enough to cry
Until the flowing tears flowed.

34. Inflicting in him wounds just as
The Indian sword is nicked and it is polished.

35. So how can I gain victory while death is an adversary?
And how can I seek vengeance while the killed one is buried?

36. I lower my gaze for it and overlook the offense
And I am not angry- my duty is pleasure and acceptance.

37. And pleasures, if the right side held them
The left side held the adversities, equal to the right.

38. I asked so he misled with arrogance, and led me
To a reason for death in which there is evidence.

39. And he doubted- but he did not express his doubt
Rather, he increased his sickness. And how can the sick

40. Be afflicted with an illness? Be kind to the ill!
I hoped for integrity- I did not attain it from his talk

41. And if he agreed with me in it, he was weak and thin.
So I lost my mind due to his mixing up his tongue

42. And it seemed to me that mountains could disappear.
And nothing returned me to sanity until his movements stopped

43. And a funeral was held over him and there was wailing.
And he was enshrouded in the cloth of dignity and praise

44. Upon him was perfume and tears were the washing.
And when they went with his bier towards the prayer ground

45. The outstretched hand of glory was shortened as it is long.
And the songs of Fahras were silent, as for its springtime

46. It withered, and its pleasant garden dried out.
And his grave illuminated my surroundings in the open air

47. And it was sweetened by his scent in the morn and evening.
In him I found the softness of life, and its heart,

48. So when I came to my senses, it turned out to be the Nile!
And I compared it to softness, but when I turned it

49. It was above the two breasts- a canal!
And they said "Do you love the full moon?" I said "Yes indeed!

50. It has a namesake that loves it, so how about its equal?"
The one I love most in the world is its namesake

51. I loved his companions due to his name and roots.
You worshipped the Rich, and chose the house of dignity

52. You settled in it where the generous settle.
You pitched your tent close to God, safely

53. And endured the passage - is there any way to you?
Give me the eternal Kawthar to drink and let me drink

54. When no shade stretches upon me, shady.
And join my womb, and ask God for mercy for me

55. He will reduce my stumbling, He is most Just.
And I am but the sword whose sharpness you were

56. So I became blunt when you died and I am worn out.
A lantern and a luminous one were extinguished with your loss

57. Its bend for the envious ones became bent.
So no bone except the great ones weakened it

58. And no rope except the ropes cut it.
And you were, as I loved, righteous and blessed

59. The heavy scales will believe you when you say:
"When I was absent, people said 'Where is your son

60. Through whom your swords are long, and we are long?'
So if I smile, they say 'O height, direct for us

61. To the two brilliant shining moons a ray.'"
It is forbidden for him to allow love

62. Even if he is a child or drags his tail.
So there is no frivolity in him, and he is the son of twenty frivolous ones

63. And no hastiness, while man is hasty.
And if the young foal contained the spirit of an adult

64. It would contain it in spite of the calf being a foal.
He returned hostility with my words with the impact of his speech

65. So they said "Arrows polished by a noble one."
And the literary person has never wronged him with ignorance

66. Nor has a messenger come to complain to me about him.
Be comfortable, O servant of the Rich One, my son Al-Ridha’

67. An abode of good fortune where comfort settles.
I have benefited from love of remembrance- youth did not prefer over it
