1. O sons of Malik, guard your eyes from sleep
And do not slumber after the son of Nasr, son of Malik

2. For a mare has carried him to the graves
Pacing gently with him to your door

3. And ask every weeping, keen-sighted one
To quickly make preparations for the departed

4. Hold a funeral for the Hashimites
With loud wailing that makes every laugher weep

5. Reminding them of the dead at Badr, torn apart
By beasts and birds of prey, ripping them open

6. As their swords did to Muhammad
And shook apart his solid, firm throne

7. So the blood of the deposed pours out
And his treasures and jewelry are pillaged

8. If Harun is pained by his uncle's death
Then every other loss and death is easier
