1. You were struck with calamities in which I was extremely cruel
With much audacity and lamentations towards you

2. So why am I to you as if I
Was the one who afflicted you with them without doubt of fate

3. May God water those we cried over their death
With sorrow for your misfortunes with abundant, flowing tears

4. For they have cut between us
And you the rope of secure connection

5. You blame me because time
Inclines away from them with abundant grace

6. If only we could have protected them
And guarded them for you between the eyelids

7. And if these had come from anyone but you
It would have been an object of the conjectures' stoning

8. And it was said even if he was wise
An aberration of madness has struck him
