1. Tears flowed or liquid pearls fell from my eyes
Onto your grave, O sun and moon of mine

2. Or rose petals of your cheek made my tears take their form
To fool the eyes after the eyes with the effect

3. And how can it be fooled by depiction, O my tranquility
When the fragrance in the rose is not the fragrance in pictures

4. And the rightful one in your eyes of houri
Longed for by the singers of nomads and cities alike

5. And in your cheek of rose and soft down
And in your folds of buds and traces

6. We are not of those remaining after you, but
Of those carrying provisions for the journey

7. You have perfected, O death, my ruin and my anguish
What more do you want when my night has become my dawn

8. And you, O grave, deprived the eyes of
Protected beauty and left nothing remaining

9. You showed the sun of suns of beauty
Covered in charm and grace in a tower of stone

10. Be gentle with her, be gentle, for I gave her a moon
Like the sun's rose in the narcissus of dawn

11. And her beauty, her beauty, rather every instant
Grows and rises and blossoms in triumphant vigor

12. An un-eclipsed full moon on the rosebud
And in the kissed one a pearl unscattered

13. I asked you, God, did her beauties last
Or did the radiance of that bright sight fade

14. Oh my agony, oh my torment after Mary
The length of my grieving and my life became a palace

15. By God, by God, I have no inclination to remain
But I remained to spend my time weeping and sad

16. May the Merciful quench you, O Mary, with His mercy
And your grave poured with the rain of beauty

17. And your remembrance in piety remains fragrant
As the breeze remains fragrant with perfume of musk

18. O family of Mary, death is a vessel
That takes us to the abode of success and victory

19. We would not look upon God if not for it, so we enter into
The bliss of His blessing that is free of bitterness

20. So hold onto the ropes of patience and reflect
Upon that destination which saves from danger

21. May God inspire us with patience that restores
Being content with God’s decree and destiny

22. And not show us in you what we do not praise
O best of mankind, whether female or male
