1. In the horror of tragedy
The youths grieve for the youth!!

2. A star shone for a moment
Then faded like dissolving dust

3. And Mahnad, who was
A hope for his people, failed

4. He barely sharpened his exile
Before he entered the grave

5. Free, generous, he lived in the world as a stranger, then passed on
He started to calculate, while death was calculating

6. He settled in the dust, yet it
Is the essence of pure gold

7. May God pardon him! What is there for the deceased and the youth?
Does he bid us farewell thus without reaching the fullness of years?

8. But He, praise be to Him,
"Predestined the fortunes, so no complaining!"

9. Abdullateef, you left a sky laden with clouds
And left a house, sweet yet bitter, mirage-filled

10. Ruined alike for dwellers of the wild and those in tombs
And all are in agony, for death is grasping

11. And people in life are like the crew of a ship amidst surging waves
Saving themselves from drowning was not guaranteed against turmoil

12. Death is an unrecognizable guest wandering every door
When he called Abdullateef to his hospitality, he recoiled

13. He gave his life for him and quenched his thirst with his blood
Longing for him, bleary-eyed, grey-haired!

14. Blood-drenched from the youth, frightening with traces of blood
In an ill-omened room, a dwelling leading to ruin

15. If only it were a desolate wilderness where ravens wander
The news of the exam came in the morning, and robbed me of composure!

16. I kept writing while my tears mixed with the ink!
My hands shake on the paper from the horror of tragedy

17. As if the specter of crime in the question and answer
Was inflicted by the hand of a criminal like a flower ruined by flies

18. My wonder at him: How did he rise from dust to clouds?
Until he saw his hand reaching out to this wing

19. And he threw the meteor, so how was he not burnt when it blazed?
With what heart did he treat him unjustly?

20. Even if made of solid rock it would have melted
Wretched people! From them the wolves learn murder

21. O criminal! When did dogs pounce on the lion?
Why did you not fear God with those pure souls?

22. God in this ordeal! If only your confusion would cease!
Will you defend your dirty actions with lies or scripture?

23. You have destroyed a flourishing branch and robbed a jewel of desire
And caused me anguish, while fate persistently claws and bites

24. I had a life full of grace by his side and it was sweet
Days when a blessed house brought us together

25. "The House of Judgement" - but where is that house or where are the companions?
One who dies by assassination, not by sword, they reproach

26. The pigeon, son of the Waleed, was expensive on the deathbed, so it was distasteful
Just as he sought killers with a hand that exhausted efforts

27. So go to your Lord, crimson-clothed
His creation knows you, and with Him is excellent reward

28. For you, my Lord, are my witness - a martyr of knowledge and exile!
