1. This is Niqula who shed tears of blood
Grieving for him, prolonging the wailing and sorrow

2. Yesterday, his lineage was traced back to Amioun
Today, he reached the highest honor

3. When he joyfully died in the cause of God
Enshrouded in his light and the garment of glory

4. Cried the heart of the weeping eulogizer, chronicling:
I ransom you, O branch of Bani, broken off in youth
