1. The melodious singer quenched Aleppo's thirst,
So how much delight did it voice in delight!

2. And how much enjoyable life I had,
When its livelihood was enjoyable to me!

3. When the flowers spread their banners,
Being playful, gentle, and sweet here,

4. Tomorrow and its suburbs were of silver,
Its center and surroundings were of gold.

5. The breeze fluttered it in the breast of the morning,
Radiating upon us the splendor of play.

6. Whenever its moaners sang,
Recited, spoke, or lamented,

7. I lamented the sons of Ahmad,
And my wailing was like their wailing.

8. The sons of Mustafa, the seal of the prophets,
The elite of the elite.

9. None passed by his path except through him,
Nor tasted fatigue in the path except through him.

10. Only for him did the moon split,
To fulfill what had been ordained.

11. No hand tossed pebbles in it,
Except his hand throughout all eras.

12. In Tufaila, he returned the eye of the blind man,
To its healthy state, when he wished.

13. His brother, and husband of the best of creation to him,
His supporter in hardships,

14. For him the sun returned until he finished,
The prayer and stood up having done his duty.

15. He purified with his ring while bowing,
Hoping for reward in the hereafter.

16. Abu Hassan and Hussein, who were,
The lanterns, lanterns of the Arabs.

17. They are the best walkers who walked Jeddah,
Jadd and the purest of mothers and fathers.

18. The life of the Messiah lamented us in Karbala,
The terrain of tribulation, terrain of distress.

19. I smell the musk of that soil,
And kiss the camphor of that dust.

20. And I fulfill the visitation to a tomb therein,
For visiting it is recommended.

21. Woe to me for the one in whom is all woe,
And I spill my tears for him as long as they spill.

22. For the one who died of agony and separation,
His waves hurling those who draw near.

23. They intend to get close but are prevented,
From reaching him when erected.

24. The Fatimids erected what
He suffers under the commotion of erection.

25. When he bid them farewell, they swooned,
From the heat of bidding him farewell and lamented.

26. O household of the Messenger, O son of the virgin,
O pride of knowledge, pride of literature!

27. It was as if I saw Shimr attacking you,
And woe to Shimr for attacking you!

28. Your matter is resolved, the reins freed,
Orator of intellects, wounder of hearts.

29. You had delayed the war from the women,
Whose hands war had made drink the cup of war.

30. They watch your face above the spearheads
And perceive with a glance that I had vanished.

31. So blessed is the elegy that let out,
The adornments for the chosen, elite one.

32. To the chamber of Kufa, the most generous,
Noblest ancestry is attributed to the noblest lineage.

33. To those who stand by the right of the successor,
In contentment and in anger.
