1. For whom do you guard these tears after this?
And for what purpose is beautiful patience?

2. Every sadness is according to each loss
And the sorrowful cry according to sorrows.

3. The heart is patient with the affliction according to
The burden it carries and depends on.

4. People are created for misery, so the most
Fortunate is he who was not created.

5. Men have always struggled in life
While death laughs at them.

6. It has prepared for its era without listening
During its day, so misery is madness.

7. Every living being hopes for life even in
Death out of illusion, so he died while moaning.

8. Vain wishes have prolonged in us
And certainty came with destiny.

9. The cause of death cannot be cured
Incantations, amulets or castles cannot protect from it.

10. Perhaps the cure for it is illness
And escape from it is an ambush.

11. Do you think a sip of water
Can protect one from his destined end and appointment?

12. A trick that made people helpless, so the
Old man died helpless like an infant.

13. We complain of the hardness of life and are not
Pleased like the prisoner is not pleased with release.

14. We all seek in life a land
That suits us, as we are but water and clay.

15. O lifetime, be long or short, for I am
A hostage to death no matter how long you are.

16. I see everything that is inevitable
As if it has already happened, so I am not afraid when it comes.

17. The comfort of a person is willingly
Leaving his world, otherwise he will be forced to leave it.

18. Tell us, O Earth, how are Solomon
And Aad and where are those generations?

19. You were their possession, yet they became
Dust from you, a possession for us that we disparage.

20. Being accustomed to this life renews
In the soul an intimacy with it, so yearning is prolonged.

21. We became intimate with each other, so there was
Estrangement in hearts when we are apart.

22. O you who left, strengthened by piety
To God and chastity, a confused lover.

23. You are in the soil, buried, but
You have a presence preserved in hearts.

24. If you have slept the eternal sleep
Then sleep is forbidden for our eyelids.

25. If you have worn out, no longing wears out
Nor do sorrows inherit you.

26. May God be with you! Did you hear the lamentations
At night when the crescent moons are soft?

27. If the valleys have not poured on your grave
Every day, then eyes have poured on it.

28. You were never miserly with noble hope
And hopes were noble though vain with you.

29. We want life for you, but are you pleased
With surrogates? And how can less satisfy you?

30. You were an ascetic at peace in the world
You did not pursue its abode while absent.

31. One dressed with reason, honor and faith
Does not care for purple or raiment.

32. You gathered both abodes, the right
Is inclined to this, and the left to that.

33. Among people are the ignorant and the wise
And among homes are the sincere and the wicked.
