1. Enough sorrow to shatter the liver
Like the sorrow of a father over his son

2. How many a hero lived as a hunter
Only for bereavement to make him bereft

3. More bearable than his misery is harm
The struggle of an army or a lion's den

4. May God spare you, for He is kinder
Than one who despairs the wounded though prudent

5. Hearts encompass you
With honor sharing your determination

6. Yearning for that beloved one
The bending branch gained nothing by hand

7. He died like tender branches
Their beauty persisting after decay

8. In the glory of his leaves and amidst
The blossoms of good tidings

9. In the prime of his youth and its companions
Of countless rosy hopes

10. At the height of his glory and ascent
When luck is killed heedlessly

11. And cunning ambushed unwarily
And fate assaulted fearlessly

12. Leaving blame bewildered and dumbfounded
On the tongue of a critic

13. O one who departed in the morn from blessings
Imagined, and from leisure and luxury

14. And left his example to one deprived
Depicting with wounds in eternity

15. Your spirit that believed has not denied
What it abandoned of the body's fears
