1. The grief of night descended on every heart
And afflicted the eyes of all people

2. It melted the heart of glory, almost
Melting the heart of stern resilience

3. Grieving for the one who ruled all kings
With his excellence, glory and glory

4. He was unique in this age, unmatched
Exalted above any equal or peer

5. How many tears like pearls were shed
For the loss of that singular gem

6. How many hearts melted the day
The heart of Al-Mahdi melted away
