1. Contemplate for a while and let tears flow down your cheeks
For you are neither in the abode of eternity nor immortality

2. Rather you are in an abode whose calamities
Strike and annihilate the garden of the lion and rose

3. Alas, the swords and spears cannot avail
Against the palace of the Lord of the Crown or the Lady of Necklaces

4. Happy is one who has won pleasure like this -
Zuleikha, daughter of Pasha Hussein, my brother of glory

5. And wife of the Minister of War, Zorok Ahmed
And possessor of the expected dignity and provision

6. True is the glorious speech about her, handed down
From family, brethren, father, and grandfather

7. She was not incited like a basil plant in gardens
When she exchanged her palace for the solitary grave

8. Rather, she realized that life is but a loan
And does any knot in a rope of pearls last forever?

9. So from her Lord she attained grace from both worlds
And that lessened for us the bitterness of grief

10. And her abode was honored with the gardens of eternity
Thus she attained success. Record the date of her immortality in the garden of eternity.
