She who revealed herself to Ali begot

إن التي نجلت عليا أنجبت

1. She who revealed herself to Ali begot
For knowledge the finest pearls in its necklace

١. إِنَّ الَّتِي تَجَلَتْ عَلِيّاً أَنْجَبَتْ
لِلْعِلْمِ أَنْفَسَ دُرَّةٍ فِي عِقْدِهِ

2. She raised him in virtues and nobility
So through her praise the eulogizer praises him

٢. قَدْ نَشَّأَتْهُ عَلَى الفَضَائِلِ وَالعُلَى
فَبِحَمْدِهَا نَطَقَ المُشِيدُ بِحَمْدِهِ

3. There is no innovation if grief spreads in her absence
A homeland fulfilling for the benevolent as was its wont

٣. لا بِدْعَ إِنْ عَمَّ الأَسَى فِي فَقْدِهَا
وَطَناً يَفِي لِلْمُحْسِنِينَ كَعَهْدِهِ

4. So he walked behind the bier in her funeral procession
The elite leaders and choice soldiers of his troops

٤. فَمَشَى وَرَاءَ النَّعْشِ فِي تَشْيِيعِهَا
كُبَرَاءُ قَادَتِهِ وَنُخْبَةُ جُنْدِهِ

5. She gave him from her blood and tears of her eyes
The purest pride of his glories and most distinguished son

٥. أَعْطَتْهُ مِنْ دَمِهَا وَدَمْعِ عُيُونِهَا
أَنْقَى مَفَاخِرِهِ وَأَنْبَغَ وُلْدِهِ

6. And built for him with her care and pillows
That pillar among the pillars of his glory

٦. وَبَنَتْ لَهُ بِعَنَائِهَا وَسُهَادِهَا
تِلْكَ الدَّعَامَةَ مِنْ دَعَائِمِ مَجْدِهِ

7. O Exalted One, will you collapse in despair
When medicine has given you what was in its limit

٧. أَعَلِيُّ هَلْ تَلْفَى لِعَجْزِكَ جَازِعاً
وَالطُّبُّ قَدْ أَعْطَاكَ مَا فِي حَدِّهِ

8. If medicine does not avail her except its effort
What is upon you, and that is the extent of its effort

٨. إِنْ لَمْ يَفِدْهَا الطُّبُّ إِلاَّ جَهْدُهُ
مَاذَا عَلَيْكَ وَتِلْكَ غَايَةُ جُهْدِهِ

9. The matter is God's affair, whether He hastens or
Delays, and no scheme of His servant exceeds Him

٩. الأَمْرُ أَمْرُ اللهِ إِنْ يَعْجِلْ وَإِنْ
يَمْهِلْ وَمَا تَعْدُوهُ حِيلَةُ عَبْدِهِ

10. Have you not been hurt such that no hand can heal
So the wounds of your soul by seeing her are from Him

١٠. أَمَا جُرِحْتَ بِحَيْثُ لا تَأْسُو يَدٌ
فَجِرَاحُ نَفْسِكَ بِرْؤُهَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ

11. It suffices the deceased to meet her Lord
And be rewarded with good in bliss and eternity

١١. حَسْبَ الفَقيدَةِ أَنْ تُلاقِي رَبَّهَا
وَتُثَابُ خَيْراً فِي النَّعِيمِ وَخُلْدِهِ
