1. The sky, earth, and people were angry with
The son of Laboon, Ismail

2. And when the sky was enraged with
The earth and people, apart from the Majestic

3. God denied that praise like mine
Would be seen for the father of destitution while he is unattainable

4. So He struck him with a Hashimite star
That was more painful for him than flaming rods

5. And he nearly accomplished what he could, but
The scheme against him was made to fail

6. That wretched man wept from that
And the tears of the mourners flowed like springs

7. Let the wailing swoop down on him with prolonged
Wailing, for he is in intense, long-lasting agony

8. May God not quench his body with the water of life
Nor his soul with the water of Paradise
