1. The vicissitudes of fate do not spare their victim,
And the abode of calamities does not comfort its afflicted.

2. I have met it with aversion, so I endured it,
As one endures the abode of humiliation when he dwells in it.

3. Knowing what it was has made death desirable to me,
And many a life whose length pleases you not.

4. The most troubled life is that whose souls are impure
When their minds and intellects are immoral.

5. And who is he that finds living pleasant after
Every soul has seen that this is its path?

6. Hold a mourning ceremony, for excellence has been bereaved of its family,
And the heights have sincerely lamented its departure.

7. If you task tears with carrying the sorrows
That have burdened you, their heavy load will be lightened.

8. And O you who cries for the lofty ones, your flowing tears
Will suffice to make happy the intimate friend who has saddened for them.

9. The breast of a grieved love that disloyalty has deceived,
So that nothing remains but his anguish and suffering.

10. Beware! With piety and good deeds, the separation
Of one whose mention and crying are prolonged, will be eased.

11. Calamity has stricken a dear soul, grievous is its affliction.
Noble are its qualities, few are its complaints.

12. So I swore, death will never refuse to take him,
And will not be found elsewhere but in the noble.

13. The vengeance of time still lies with a people
Who pledge loyalty, believing in its illusions.

14. Whose people repel him from glory,
Then the tribe of glory is his tribe.

15. Whose actions are forgotten, he will be,
For ages, indebted to the fair mention that makes him immortal.

16. The winds blow gently according to the amount of corruption,
And the good branches grow more virtuous from their roots.

17. A cloud of righteousness, now dispersing,
And a sign of glory, now fading.

18. I wish it rain clouds to water it, and if so,
Its torrents would flow towards the clouds.

19. How can I revive one who resides in eternity with life
That was not hoarded for him but as provision?

20. He will enjoy an abode of reckoning,
And rest in the shade of gardens for his lodging.

21. We seek recourse in the causes of solace, and yet
In the judgment of loyalty, it is ugly.

Against fate? And the days ahead are difficult, winding paths.

23. So let not sorrow break your heart beyond them,
For with their loss, their consequences have perished.

24. What could a speaker bring you
When you are resolute in your generosity, a doer of noble deeds.

25. When the son of Ali one day, with his resolve,
Marched to meet the battles of time, its heavy burdens shook.

26. You have always been full of determination
That shortens the days of adversity and prolongs them.

27. Reaching the distant horizon of glory, its study fulfills it,
And in the present time, accomplishes its journey.

28. You have lost, but have not lost your dignity, surely
It is the ignorant who waste well-known matters.

29. Moreover, the one you parted with yesterday cannot fully repay
A torrent of tears that flowing for his right.

30. Blameworthy is not its mourning, that his affliction
Does not cut deeply into religion and the world you represent.
