1. What pillar weakened from Islam?
What day was more sorrowful than days?

2. The prince's calamity surpassed all calamities,
Seized by delusions of grandeur.

3. The days robbed us of shaded shelter
And permitted violation of the most precious sanctuary.

4. O clan of Mus'ab, you held the place
Of souls in bodies among the people.

5. So if you have any doubt about fate,
It encompasses all of mankind.

6. Look and see if you find anything but tears -
Witnesses over hearts in constant agony.

7. Who can heal the world and who can restrain the king
In the face of immense, terrible misfortunes?

8. We are afflicted by his death, and the greatest
Disaster is the death of nobles and leaders.

9. He did not die, and the Prince remains alive,
Ever avenging and bestowing favors.

10. After him is the system of glorious deeds,
The pillar of the world and the Imam's sword.
