1. Ask, if you knew the abode, about its dwellers
And recite to a heart that is a hostage to its guarantee

2. And let fall the tears of the weeping ones with a sigh
That ignites the innards with its fires

3. Time has become a neighbor to it, so bear its place
An epoch, and the epoch was obedient to its rein

4. It has become barren ruins after it was
The juxtaposition of the garden from its bliss

5. And if you passed by Al-Taff, then weep over it
And aid the son of Fatima and gather its beauty

6. I will not forget him and his sons the day
The vileness of war surrounded them, from the clan of Sufyan

7. So he charged, piercing through the ranks with his sword
That did not cease dripping the blood of its horsemen

8. A hero attacking them with spears
That make the lion tremble on the day of its stabbing

9. The lions of war found no
Help but al-Hindi among its aides

10. And he shows them in al-Samhariya that if
A stab poured forth, it would gray the youth from its youths

11. Until when Allah willed that it be seen
Thrown in Mahmmah upon its dunes

12. He fell on the face of the dusty ground colored
By horses galloping in its plain

13. Quencher of thirsts, his thirst is not quenched
I ransom him from the quencher of thirsts when they thirst

14. The beasts of the wilderness weep for him in their deserts
And the doves of the branches among their branches

15. Oh your day, O son of the daughter of Muhammad
For which the celestial spheres in their inhabitants shook

16. Who will tell ‘Ali, Nizar, and Hashim
And the sons of the Fatimids from the sons of ‘Adnan

17. Indeed al-Husayn and his companions, the hands of the enemies
Carried their heads on their spearheads

18. Their horses took their dwellings as racetracks to them
Galloping their valleys over their bodies

19. They lowered themselves upon the Prophet's grandson and showed
From their hatred what they harbored in their souls

20. Ruin to them, the clan of the Umayyads
Who broke pacts - it was always their way

21. They broke the pacts of Mustafa regarding his sons on
The day the ignorance manifested in their betrayal

22. My fervor for Zaynab as she wails her wailing
And her tears flow from her eyelids

23. She turns to al-Sajjad while he is shackled
So it increases her agony upon her agonies

24. They severed the desert plains with him with wounded ribs
Bending from fatigue in its cheeks

25. Wandering the desolate quarter from thirst
While the beasts of prey hunt in its valleys

26. And to you, O Prophet’s family, beloved
With you the musk diffuses from its flasks

27. Necklaces of the pearls of tears, strung
In your elegy, scattered beads of its adornments

28. I dedicated it to you, and it suffices me from you
Houries built in the eternity of its heavens
