1. My survival after you has wearied me
And in my death is loyalty to you

2. I implored the consoler to be graceful
That patience and condolence may be perfect

3. The most serious misfortune is parting from a beloved
It was the remedy for my sickness

4. An age darkened, from which it illuminated
Is there light after its darkness?

5. Jumada has frozen our tears
Alas, tears are blood

6. I would have wept torrents for you if I were clouds
My waters would have poured upon you

7. Were you not my heart and my innermost self?
Destiny has struck them both

8. Praise be to God, I do not object
Whatever God wills is justice

9.
I was fulfilling the covenants of love

10. If only my soul was ransom for you

11. Alas for whom I hoped for my happiness
But misfortune refused

12.
The bane of our wealth is calamities

13. And the bane of the world is oblivion

14. Adam died though he was first
And all his children are equal in death
