1. The vicissitudes of fate contain lessons and exemplars
In them, vows and caution are of no avail

2. Misfortunes have extended their claws amongst us
Until worries and harms became abundant

3. The loss of Abdullah has befallen us
And pearls have fallen from our eyelids

4. The virtuous youth Muhammad, around whom
The mosques were adorned and the lives were built

5. O Lord, water his grave, which contains his body
With torrents flowing from tearful eyes

6. The mosques complain of losing him; he used to recite the
Verses and suras therein, which would overwhelm him

7. And I ask God that I meet him in bounties
In the Paradise we inhabit, if fate allows it
