1. I spend the night grieving, all alone
While my friends in good times have perished

2. They did not find happiness in tears
Where are those I relied and trusted on?

3. They denied knowing me, those I trusted
And sometimes, even trusts are betrayed

4. They were astonished at the humility of a lion
Terrified by crowds and resolution

5. Beneath the soil lies a blissful planet
Weeping for its loss are the dead

6. Tears grow plants, rather
The land and crops are set ablaze

7. My family is scattered, everyone
And every gathering will later disperse

8. Pay heed, my soul, to a group of people
Who guarded you with their covenant

9. Repent to Allah, do not waver
Salvation and deliverance lie in repentance and resolve

10. Redeem yourself, be safe and saved
Else time will leave you behind

11. I have yearned to meet honourable people
I lived for this sorrow while they died

12. The crescent that I wished for
Continued waning night after night

13. My hands are folded - why did I not die when
Your silence deafened the utterances

14. You left your grieving father, my son
Does he even cross your mind?

15. The goblets of bereavement clashed over you
When I said, “Here, here they are”
