For your loss, eyes weep

على فقد مثلك تبكى العيون

1. For your loss, eyes weep
And sweet sleep is denied to eyelids

١. عَلى فَقد مِثلَكَ تَبكى العُيون
وَتَجفو لَذيذ المَنامِ الجُفون

2. Your absence brings us solace
How can what cannot be consoled bring solace?

٢. يُهَوّن فَقدك عنا الخلى
وَكَيف يُهَوِّن ما لا يَهون

3. This age has betrayed us in you
If not, this mournful age would not be

٣. لَقَد خانَنا فيكَ هذا الزَمان
فَلا كانَ هذا الزَمان الخؤن

4. Alas! How much did I stay up at night
And reveal the secret of protected beauty

٤. فَوا أَسَفى كَم سَهِرت الدُجى
وَأَبرَزت سِرّ الجَمالِ المَصون

5. And clarify to seekers of guidance
If only you had completed what they seek

٥. وَأَوضَحت لِلطالِبينَ الهُدى
وَلَيتُكَ أَتمَمتَ ما يَطلُبون

6. Death aimed its arrows at you suddenly
But the arrows of death did not miss you

٦. رَمَتكَ المَنون عَلى غُرّة
فَما أَخطَأتُك سِهام المَنون

7. We thought you would remain for the benefit of worshipers
But those hopes failed with your death

٧. طَنناك تُبقى لِنَفع العِباد
فَخابَت بِمَوتِك تِلكَ الظُنون

8. So, by God, pause a moment to quench
A heart in anguish for your loss

٨. فَبِاللَهِ قِف ساعَة يَشتَفى
فُؤاد لِفَقدِكَ فيهِ شُجون

9. You went towards the Divine Presence hastily
Leaving behind those who do not understand

٩. لَقَد سِرت نَحو السَرى مُسرِعا
وَخَلَفت أَهلِكَ لا يَفقَهون

10. If only you had promised to return
But alas, alas what they were promised

١٠. وَلَيتُكَ وَاِعدتهم عودة
وَهيهات هَيهات ما يوعَدون

11. Slow down, do not depart hastily
For your loved ones cannot bear it

١١. رُوَيدُكَ لا تَرتَحِل عاجِلا
فَعَنكَ الاحِبَّة لا يَصبرون

12. Upon you, from God, clouds of satisfaction
Which watered your tomb and brought tranquility

١٢. عَلَيكَ من اللَه سَحب الرِضا
وَرَوّى ثَراكَ سِحاب هتون

13. And the finest prayer for the Hashemite
Is what the winds blow and the branches tilt

ما هَب ريح وَمالَت غُصون

14. Thus did the Family and Companions recite
For your loss, eyes weep

عَلى فَقد مِثلِكَ تَبكي العُيون
