1. This affliction in you
Is the greatest blow that perfection has suffered

2. Does any word of consolation comfort a weeping one?
O sun, your day has not been completed

3. How did decline surprise you?
O image of intimacy whose traits

4. Were outlined by angels
Alas for that protection

5. Alas for that beauty
Alas for the noble manners

6. That gathered in the finest example
You lived with your husband in bliss

7. He was never displeased with you
So he remained abundantly content

8. The essence of purity, serene of mind
You raised the status of singers

9. Above other women supporting families
Building with strong principles

10. Flags of great men
Stringing from girls

11. Necklaces of flowers or pearls
You did not neglect the rights of the poor

12. Nor question their request
You left your heart drained

13. By the trials of ordeals
Signs of your righteousness continuing

14. And others in succession
Until you passed away and every shadow

15. In existence has a passing
What is the state of those you orphaned

16. After comfort and pampering?
How miserable are the deprived

17. Denied care and sustenance
So today from that aloofness

18. The hearts bleed for you
You paid your dues promptly

19. O best of veiled ladies
Journey to Eden and to

20. The face of your Lord, Majestic is He
Pleasant is the bliss rewarded

21. To the righteous women of action
