1. The great honor fell with the death of my father Ya'la
And it is no wonder that the calamities of those exalted have come to pass

2. Whoever was faithful to him will pray with the fire of grief
For he believes he will not pray in the Gathering with fire

3. Afflictions befell him in this world, so misfortunes befell him
And deprived this adorned one of his adornment

4. We lost him and lost a pouring rain after drought overcame its land
When the land had hoped for such downpour

5. Indeed time has failed him, to the extent of the outstretched hand of Muhannad
We left him failing in every outstretched hand

6. So after him I don't care whichever adversary
Of mankind God has destined his term or not

7. My tears are little but my griefs are many
Just as the smoke of fire is little even when the fire is great

8. I disdain to weep over him with flowing tears
Unless it be tears of love or yearning
