1. She was distressed by separation after separation
And what she has of yearning

2. Baalbek cries for Waleed who threw himself
Fleeing, and the land of Iraq embraced him

3. His solace had been the hope of reunion
Where did her hope for reunion end up?

4. Don’t be afraid of his estrangement and aloofness
That distance makes horizons diverge

5. In fact, estrangement is only in divergence of aims
And branching out of flaws and morals

6. There is no estrangement in the abode of the honorable
Of noble origin and lineage

7. That martyr’s grave, even if the clouds are stingy
Will be watered by clouds from the depths

8. And the inviolable sanctuary will revive its pilgrims
The lofty one, with a gift and unfurling

9. Rustum who had been among the people of Iraq
His claim verified by proof

10. He lived among them, loved and loving
Sincere, his affection without taste

11. Possessing their hearts with decorum and gentle nature
A preceding moon, expectations did not see

12. The like of it on horizons
Was that leap of his to the heights

13. Hastening the descent?
Or which ignoble one soared to it and shed

14. His free blood, curse of discordant people
That rabble, evil is what their days of slavery left

15. If only the wicked were destroyed, nothing remains
But a blood-price of glory, spilled blood

16. And ransom for brotherhood between the peoples of dhad
Woe to them, what did inciting

17. Mischief from the depths benefit them?
They angered his mother; they increased

18. Blame upon the martyr around necks
We are in an era in which the state of people

19. Changed from the law of the Creator
The sweetly smiling returned in it more vicious

20. Than the fanged and sharp-toothed
Where are the bloodstained claws from the fire bomber

21. And demolisher of homes by burning?
And the one who returns the breeze lethal gas

22. And the sinking of ships by capsizing?
As if by science it directed in it

23. Its might against the tyrants and debauched
And the doves deployed in the universe

24. Who knows the secret of survival other than the Everlasting?
An ordeal, if death is salvation,

25. Then from it, and the victory for the active
But perhaps I have strayed in judgment

26. And judgments do not hold true absolutely
Great good may come from evil

27. When what it ranges is traversed
O martyr, his living example will remain

28. Filling hearts and sights
The Arab nation has tasted long humiliation

29. And humiliation is bitter to taste
How can it forget the virtue of those

30. Who called for unity and put down the pact?
Better they exerted their resolve in binding

31. Brotherhood and seeking harmony
Let him be for the new era a witness

32. Immortalized by memory for his merit
Every sacrifice as you sacrificed is worthy

33. Of reward from pride and concurrence
Join today a comrade; you had been

34. The best of companions for the best of kings
If the obligation left behind had not stopped you

35. You would not have tarried to join
A burdening obligation

36. You carried out its burdens exhaustingly
For it you have uprightness and broad vision

37. Gleaming insight
You led well those you led in ministry by truth

38. And fulfilled what traits demanded
And you came with reform from where it is obtained

39. In momentous or minute affairs
O House of Haydar the generous I console you

40. And my tears from its heat other than flowing
Your calamity is our calamity, and as was the custom in love

41. My brothers, our days and remaining ones
The Arabs shared your grief and every

42. Heart fluttered for their glory
May God magnify your reward as you endured

43. And protect them from the woes of fate and time
