1. My eyes weep stars,
And my outpour is blood after losing loved ones,

2. Perhaps it extinguishes some of the fire that stirred my chest,
Or heals the wounds of parting.

3. Time has folded what was between me and my loved ones,
And gathered what was between me and tribulations.

4. Afflictions poured upon me from all sides,
As heavy rain pours from the clouds.

5. Had it been one worry, I could have endured it,
But worries have overwhelmed every reckoner.

6. My brother Abdullah, how could you leave me
With a heart wounded by parting from you.

7. O branch of Bān, separation wanted to break you,
And O moon, the clouds of affliction hid you.

8. O star that disappeared from me into the ground,
Not so did I know the disappearance of stars.

9. If you are absent from my eyes, your image still remains
Before me, folding my chest and disturbing me.

10. I had hoped to see your return,
But my hope in you was thwarted from all sides.

11. O tear of my eye, do not dry from weeping,
And O my burning heart, you did not stop accompanying me.

12. Peace be upon that tomb, and mercy
Pouring upon it like pouring rain.

13. I shall weep for you as long as I live, and when I die,
My bones beneath the sand will weep for you.
