1. The serpent of sorrow struck and the sublime one departed
So I am the bitten one and my tears are my shield

2. It persisted in coiling though it was not small
Until its venom moistened my innermost being

3. My soul did not find rest after you, even for a night
It struck me with the clubs of the litters

4. It made me childless, oh your bereavement before it
Joys dearer to me than my eyelids

5. So it brought back to me in the loss of the sweetest vein
In glory, the loss of the good veins

6. Gone are days that fluttered with passion
Among them with the guide of coolness, thinness

7. A time I wore its silk and enjoyed its softness
From a new and shining whiteness, not morals

8. So I will lament today the goodness of its covenant
And cry over the elite of the lofty

9. And I will milk from sorrows my sunken eye
A tear like the outpouring of slippery snakes

10. My tear and my nature together
With the elegies of Al-Khansa' not Isaac

11. It tore apart the associations of my ribs
Indeed greatness has given notice of departure

12. It killed a sorrow, had it not existed
The time would have killed its progeny completely

13. So remove your obituary in the land, the life of the land
For death has departed with your final grasp

14. This is Abu Hasan who rode his escort alone
But with a bier without camel litters

15. And behind his coffin walked the Hashimites
Overcome, humbled necks bowed down

16. United in bashfulness, their hearts crumbled
To pieces from anguish

17. O you who with patience burdened your people
With a load of misery unbearable

18. She went out wishing, if only all the Hashimites
Would go out while you remain for the glory of your people

19. If other than you were to ransom or protect
From the edge of the swords of death a protector

20. The virtuous would have protected you with what protected
With the loyalty of your pouring clemency

21. And the Hashimites would have clouded without you
Until the horizons were blocked

22. And she would have come to you clamoring with the swords and been sated
With the white flashing any flashing

23. And she would have rained with blood that watered the thorns
From it with the most abundant downpour

24. And she would have contended for you against fate and its path
I am the one who tasted the flavor of my cup today

25. And she would have come to you, o pillar of her great ones
With death before you taken captive

26. And I suppose, such is your nature, generosity,
That you wish with absolute generosity

27. So hearts will return to them, seared by the hot coals
They did not remain burning

28. But you were called, and what nature would not
Answer the call of the compelling Creator

29. So fate took you willingly divorcing it
A world that renews a husband with divorce

30. A beloved, and it is tedious, though
Many lovers are wearied by its tediousness

31. Traveling by the hands that raised by raising you
The lofty minarets, keys to sustenance

32. They freed the nobility of their bondage
Thus joining slavery and liberation

33. And she bid farewell, having raised her camel litter
To the Most High, where are you with your heavy burden?

34. So despite my nose today, who lowered you in the dust
I used to raise above all others

35. If I could lift you from the soil
I would place you between litters and high ground

36. Alas for the soil of that corpse in which
The morals of noble character were buried

37. The dew of those fingers was sipped, leaving thirsty
The rod of hope, though it was dripping

38. Woe to the turns of fate below you in the land
Uncaring, without distinction or sympathy

39. The dust covers your tomb, so come out
Baring to the people your leg

40. Destiny threw down the tree of knowledge, leaving it thirsty
So its heights complained of the dryness of the leg

41. It withered and was lost from hearts for one whose
Presence was an ocean while hearts were irrigation ducts

42. Deprived of his blossoms and stolen from
His pursuers, his pages falling

43. O you who descended the chambers of paradise, leaving
The pouring darkness in the depths

44. The prayer of your Lord came to you yearning
Forbidden for it is the yearning of the ardent lover

45. So go, your ascension to the Most High through Muhammad
Is enough, no sublime one ascends to it

46. A resolve ascended you to the heaven of your superiority
Saying more sublime than Al-Buraq is my mount

47. This one who inherited the knowledge of his prophecy
And from the imamate donned every litters

48. And I say to one who hates him in his spite
Fall short, you cannot reach him by pursuit

49. Wondrous, you hope to tame a master
Indeed hearts are tamed by gentle handling

50. Do not come near this kinship, buzzing angrily
For kinship, its defensive wall is gentleness

51. He and Hussein are both moons of the Most High
Among youths who are the stars of horizons

52. Seizing the stalks of resolve on the day of every race
They carried the wager with valor

53. The Most High asked for them in marriage and they
Made the good mention the best dowry

54. So they built with the best bride what guarded it
The turns of misfortunes from them with divorce

55. Were it not for them, hearts would become like wads
Crazed by the misfortunes, meeting them with mouths agape

56. And the darkness of misery would have prevailed and the
Light of serenity would have been obscured by it

57. For they are the full moons that rose unequalled
In glory, not in blemish and brilliance

58. Glory rose over them saying, protected
Unattainable is your magnificent glory by pursuit
