1. I pass by the graves, yearning
And longing for him who lies in the dust

2. I say as I stand by it, my tears
Sprinkling pearls upon his earth

3. And around me the stillness of death whispers
To my heart reverence and turmoil

4. Peace be upon you, lying in your grave
Shaded by its awe, veils

5. Elias, did you forget us
And not mention your family and friends?

6. You were not one, my beloved
To prolong your absence from those who love you

7. If only you could see your home as it has become
Clothed in sorrows, mists

8. Confusion roams among throngs
Who lost the right path at your death

9. Your mother beats her cheeks in bereavement
And calls out to Elias but no answer comes

10. And your grieving father, lost
Has become like a child, wailing

11. And your dear siblings are confused
By your matter, their words make no sense

12. Your family and friends, their tears
Flow, pouring out their souls

13. Oh! How hearts yearn for the departed
At whose death, gentle hearts melted

14. Oh! How knowledge yearns for the martyr
Who perished loving its students

15. My friend, by God I'll not forget
My life through, your torment

16. Nor will I forget our sessions
Where we spent our youth

17. Whenever a crescent shines on the horizon
It reminds me of your crescent, gone

18. And if the breeze shakes a moist branch
I recall your moist branch, snapped

19. So sleep, my companion, sleep reassured
Until God gathers all comrades

20. Fear not the clouds holding back rain one day
If its water refuses to pour

21. For I have watered your grave with my eyes
With enough for eternity's clouds
