1. The fever came, so he hurried to your heart with solace
Welcome to the one who brought us intimacy and joy

2. His eyes found peace in the house of God, humble
Lowering his gaze from all but God, he had no other ambition

3. He passed, caressing the corners of His house
Turning his face from favors, he was unappeasable

4. He circled the house seven times and bent over in Mina
There he attained gifts in Mina after effort

5. When he finished his Hajj and provision
He turned the reins, urging the beautiful horse

6. So he returned, white, drawing rain from the clouds
And he returned, his face blackened from the sun

7. We were counting the days from when
Time had been miserly with him, but then generous

8. He swayed playfully in the bend of the valley
No wonder the fever made his body sway cheerfully

9. How many wounds were healed through his arrival
O living one who came to cure worries and wounds

10. He appeared and the forum of virtue shone radiantly
The pearls of knowledge and the path of truth became clear

11. The garden of the sublime blossomed with its tall trees
The fresh greenery and dripping dew became moist

12. And fate was generous, hopes prevailed
Glory became fertile, time healed

13. Fervor grew strong, pains were cured
Illness grew distant, troubles withdrew

14. We stood to greet a shining welcome in the east
Like the sun rising on the horizon at dawn

15. As if we were a slope of joys inclined
Toward us from comfort, each drinking a cup

16. A deep, vast ocean, deep of floor, turbulent
Flooding with the overflow of knowledge poured forth

17. He obtained the essence of virtue, drawing it forth
While the misguided trailed behind, splashing

18. If you hear traits of al-Husayn, then take
What is proven of him, clear and evident

19. He is the brilliant one in the battleground of knowledge
He is the surging one where the lead ran fast

20. You have timeless glorious feats
Remaining for nights of sorrows and clearness

21. O best of those who visited God's house in pilgrimage
And came adorned with forgiveness, elated

22. I did not listen to the blames of blamers against you
Or lend an ear to slander calling you

23. If my praise shone between people, your glory prompts me
To compose, so assign in your traits the praise

24. Then greet in peace, remain for the visitors, a garden of Mina
With unlocked orchards, lit and lamped
