1. My companion of times, its pillar collapsed
And my middle road fell down

2. I bowed my head down to misfortunes
When my posture was erect

3. O time, you sought me until
You cut off pieces from my heart

4. You knocked me about my beloved when
I feasted my eyes on him cheerfully

5. I wished he would be like me
If God had protected him for me and fenced him

6. An infant exalted is the Lord
Who guided him in his cradle to the right path

7. He purified him while the elder is filthy
Defiles honour and places of rest

8. Good - if he had lived he would have got my knowledge
And struggled for pilgrimage and devoted himself to God

9. I collapsed out of agony the day he passed away
And my heights turned into a spread out carpet

10. The slain beloved's spittle mixed with blood
As long as I glittered thinking it would be wiped

11. The ophthalmologist's judgment failed
Where then is the proof of his treatment?

12. His doctor - far from me - what do I
Reckon he butchered out of stupidity

13. A model of glory, this succumbed to peace
And I knew he had vitality

14. Taha and Ya Seen are my charms
For my heart is wounded because of him

15. Tears obeyed my eyes because of him
And mixed with blood and intermingled.
