1. Behind you, indeed the calamity is great,
And indeed, crying over the likes of it is little.

2. So leave me to weep even if
My soul in tears starts flowing for it.

3. The easiest thing to fulfill the right of the perished
Is your tears if they could extinguish agony.

4. Sorrow for the sons of a mother who passed away on their path
As the slow group hurried at dawn.

5. Their elite were uprooted yesterday,
So women from them became widowed.

6. Youths as the morning willed, and elders
Whom old age took its right and they became frail.

7. This walked in the footsteps of that, and this in the footsteps of those,
And the tale becomes long.

8. O Banu Hashim, does death have long ropes
With you? And do events have burdens?

9. I doubt a day will pass without you
Descending upon other than the people of graves.

10. Whenever you bury a corpse, you hold
The funeral of another. Indeed, this is lengthy.

11. Have you hated the living intensely? Why is it
That you do not descend upon other than the people of graves?

12. You have not left in the earth you buried in,
As much as what a resident's stick can toss.

13. Does it devour five of you in fifty days?
Indeed, it is gluttonous.

14. While you are people - a drop of your blood
Carrying it leads to perishing and falling.

15. Not like yesterday's captive bound to ruin
And every dear person to the pigeons is disgraced.

16. A youth - if the people altogether were weighed against him
They would be light on the scale while he is heavy.

17. So the palms carrying him to doom faltered,
Do you know who this one interred is?

18. Ignorantly, the soil is heaped upon him, yet it
Shovels him in our eyes and pours.

19. We thanked the hands of time in its generosity with it
And the place of favor from the wicked is great.

20. It is nothing but its turns claiming it back,
And it is impossible for a miser to be generous.

21. If hopes surpassed it, often,
The living roam the place of death and become barred.

22. By his life and helping hands, they are indeed
The most precious that a man can give and attain.

23. Knowledge - if whispered to the rock comprehending
It almost realizes and nearly speaks.

24. Eyes open and insights mature through it,
And minds are pollinated and intellects.

25. We lost him - loss of the garden's greenery after growth
So it became empty after flourishing and withered.

26. Dearth to whoever seeks knowledge after him,
And darkness has come over the children of the mother of virtues.

27. When one like this Chieftain dies, then he is
Clear proof of the bad fortune of Muslims.

28. And how can a land find one matching him
Even after time with ruin can suffice?

29. To Allah - how excellent are the fortunes of groups
Whose night’s rest and nap were in his presence.

30. Whenever the deceased are tasked in the court of doom
And there is a messenger for the people of graves

31. To his children - You are not alone in bereavement,
The scholar and the ignorant are partners with you.

32. If you say, “My lineage has been lost,” then he is
The lineage of all the people of both worlds.

33. His merit refused to be exclusive to his descendants -
Everyone relies and depends on him.

34. His family and all mankind - their life's journey
And a corpse to the abode of doom and decay.

35. Your solace - Time may one day pastoralize
So it does good while situations change.

36. I guarantee you from The Lord of Majesty in His kindness -
Harm will disappear and goals will be reached.

37. His Lord watered his grave from the rain clouds,
And allowed the breeze to pull curtains over him.

38. And the safety of God continues to lead him
Every morning endlessly and every evening.
