1. My heart is a talent that its endurance has dried it
And my tears refused except to flow abundantly

2. The young man is delighted with life while it destroys him
And he is deceived by the world though it is not his abode

3. And in the lessons of days there is for man a preacher
If his thoughts and considerations in them are sound

4. So think not, O oblivious of fate, it is silent
For the clearest thing is its night and day

5. Listen to the whispering of time, for it
Will spare you the utterance of speech by its secrets

6. Pass around to the departed a cup, for all of them
Its meanings were made lawful and their homes were demolished

7. And none of them were protected from drinking of the cup
The wrangling of fate and its contentions

8. And the turns of fortune exhausted Abu Abd al-Malik
Though he was once, his gambling was not permitted

9. So he became obscured, and he was a connection
And he ended isolated, while he is valued his shrine

10. I do not forget when the dove took his soul
So nothing remained but his deeds and his generosity

11. When my eyes are softened, their sorrows unleash
The grief of sadness, which tyranny provoked

12. This replies to that in its weeping
Like the cooing of doves when their young ones were taken

13. As if he did not exist, like the watchman who fears its swooping
An enemy, and hopes for its downpour in the floodplain

14. But by Ali, Marwan's affliction
Stirred a sorrow that ignites a fire in the heart

15. So no drink except its purity is disturbed
And no sleep except its warmth has turned away

16. Which noble virtue made clear its clouds?
And whose poetry of the eminent has come to circulate?

17. Glory has vanished from Marwan and his towering heights leaned
And found in the glory of tombs its substitute

18. And morning has not dawned after him with an eye
Whose meadow remains verdant in its greenery

19. So O lofty pillar that shook the ground in its firmness
And full moon that saddened the people in its eclipse

20. Congratulations to the grandfather who tomorrow contained
The unique perfume and settled glory in it

21. And I have not seen a pearl whose shells the earth covered
Nor a full moon that took refuge in the soil

22. Condolences, O Banu Abd al-Aziz, though
Its shelter of glory and its beacon have emptied

23. For you are for this crack a consoler and healer
Though severe its pain and unbearable

24. For you is the noble lineage that established its foundations
Abu Bakr al-Sari its carpenter for you

25. O excellent vizier whose mention scented the earth
And the blossoms of spears were humbled by his superiority

26. Had the eminent a neck and a protector
From you would be its choker and bracelet
