1. Indeed it is the calamity, overwhelming its severity
Its beginning agonizing, and its outcome

2. Neither the spring of an abode healed, nor its ruins
More desolate when its misfortunes came upon it

3. Far from that for one who takes heed
Is the path of salvation, though difficult its ascents

4. So one hungry, if the fetus knew it
Would return bleached are its bones

5. Oh what misery when the Messengers of Allah
Were subjected to their calamities

6. When you contemplate their afflictions
The load of sorrows weighs down its carrier

7. For some their places of death were brought near
While for others their places of fall were promised

8. Darkened on the day of Karbala, then appeared [the truth] while they are the slaughtered
The rain did not cease watering every uprising ground

9. Or roaming its valleys are its showers
Upon a land where a strange Messenger of Allah settled

10. Wounded are his noble organs
He who protected him decreased, and few are his helpers

11. And the utmost of his aims faced preventers
While his women were taken captives, the necks of loved ones

12. Dragged among them were their infants
And they were forbidden to cry and lament aloud

13. Though bitter is estrangement and loud are its wailers
Sorrow returned to his grandfather and his father

14. Where their screaming for help was heard
If the Majestic did not want their war against him

15. Narrowness would have squeezed them and their surroundings
He who destroyed a nation whose she-camel was hamstrung

16. When their righteous one invited them [to Allah]
You have lost the path to the way of Allah

17. So you were confused while the calamities befell you
Oh you Shi'ites of misguidance and deviation

18. Stained are your robes with disgrace
You have wronged Allah in harming those

19. To whom his advice was given
You threw dust on the forehead of a youth

20. Whom Jibreel used to rub before the Prophet
Blood shedding between you and the Messenger of Allah

21. While the son of As-Saffah is its shedder
The same to Allah are all of you

22. Those who abandoned him and those who slaughtered him
Curse pursues or roams around

23. Those who deprived them of their rights
You are ignorant of who the Household know

24. And who did not encounter their inner chambers
If you are silent from supplicating to them

25. Then for you is a day when no supplicant is answered
Where the ram of calamity butts

26. Whoever sees the ram of tribulation headbutting him
And tomorrow the opponent will know who

27. Lost religion for them and who gained it
Before you is a blazing flame

28. That will wrap those faces without extinguisher
If you think them fools in your ignorance

29. The shining full moon is not harmed by the barking dog
Or if you conceal, the Quran whose intricacies

30. Declare their virtues clearly
No glory shone from their graves

31. Except its dwellers are its lanterns
A people whom the sword of their father

32. Refused to straighten the religion or silence its dissenter
He who the Prophet felt tranquility with

33. While the religion panicked terrified are its shelters
They fought him and he is their supporter

34. Before and they betrayed him while he advised them
So how many of them did the swords spill blood

35. On a day of fighting when its fierce one charges
The people did not pardon when they were able

36. To commit against them their atrocities
But rather stubbornness they granted him and exerted effort

37. To prevent what Allah grants him
They were volatile in harming him

38. While he is dignified and weighty
An ocean of knowledge, so if the knowledge rages

39. Its currents stir its depths
And if they flow in chastity, their immorality disgraced them

40. Breaking the virginity of the chaste with deflowerer
He prevented the eye from their wreckage

41. While he aspires to righteous deeds
O family whose love clarifies

42. The righteous of this world and its corrupt
The lock of evil you are O children of Ahmed

43. When others are its keys
You are blessed, so if your mention passes by

44. The fragrance of gardens emanates from its breeze
I conceal my sorrow in your love

45. Though it wearies with it its tossing and turning
Nothing but tears and sorrow for what

46. Will be in it its brim inevitably overflowing
So the eyelids will be harmed though

47. Its flow harms the two eyes
If I was in the time of Dibel my praises in you

48. Would be praise while his are its praises
