1. His flowing tears have become accustomed to streaming,
Not to be held back from the beauty of patience.

2. Once the keeper of secrets, his eyes now scatter
What they used to gather so discretely before.

3. Whenever he tries to hold back his tears,
His longing rises against him, refusing restraint.

4. It's as if he has many hearts filled with love
And each day bids farewell to another one.

5. No tie of union remains unbroken by fate,
Doubtless, estrangement will sever it soon enough.

6. No gleam of sunshine appears in the world
Without the sun from which its radiance first shone.

7. For the Hashemites, renown comes easily, like
Victory for the counselor son of Ali.
