1. O eye shed tears for Abu Jabir and his father
When the flags are broken and the necks are ringed
١. يا عينُ بَكِّي أبا جَبرٍ ووالدَه
إذا تحطَّمَتِ الراياتُ والحَلَقُ
2. A day for the day of Abu Jabir and his brothers
And the soul is of two kinds: horror and awe
٢. يومٌ بيومِ أبي جَبرٍ وإخوتِهِ
والنفسُ نفسان منها الهَولُ والشَّفَقُ
3. O misguided by death that left us naught
Of honor to boast of since the leaves fell
٣. يا ضُلَّ ضُلَّ المنايا ما تَرَكنَ لنا
عِزّاً نَبُوءُ به ما هُدِّلَ الوَرَقُ
