1. Fate has been fulfilled from the height of that pulpit
So be patient with your affliction or cease to be patient

2. And indeed has come what you no longer possess after
Except weeping and the anguish of remorse

3. O you eye that cries for
The loss of the beloved with its falling tear

4. You cry this day but tomorrow
You will be cried over and so you have not lost

5. We forbid grieving that melts our hearts
Like the cup-bearer criticizes the drinking of wine

6. Verily the tongue obeys the command of its advice
While the heart rejects it like one who was not commanded

7. O you who departed, breaking hearts, saying
I have sworn to you that I will not be coerced

8. Our tears will water your tomb for they are
Purer and nobler than the waters of the Fountain

9. If only you could be bought, O moon that
Tasted eclipse, the purchaser would be happy

10. Alas, redemption has become difficult so he who
Redeems is disappointed even if he gave the kingdoms of Caesar

11. An old disease, how much sorrow it has
In every heart of the women of eras

12. It has confused minds in its rulings
And misguided the sanity of the greatest philosopher

13. It spares the hunched old man on his cane
Weakly and destroys the younger boy

14. O Yusuf of beautiful charm, his beauty
What has befallen the beauty of that spectacle

15. At sixteen years of your life, you were as chaste
As the full moon eclipsed at mid-month

16. And you left without saying farewell, setting
An appointment for the Day of Assembly

17. You left your world without saying farewell, seeking
The House of Bliss so it was the most profitable trade

18. And you knew that you inevitably travel
So you intended to take the shortest path

19. The one for which the servants were created
So the living are considered dead, unburied

20. Prepare your child's bier with his cradle
For both may be brought together at the place of questioning

21. O you who cries for one who slept in
The House of Felicity, cease your tears and shorten them

22. He has won the prepared kingdom for the likes of him
And the kingdom is the custom of Yusuf so rejoice
