1. The head of the son of Muhammad's daughter and his successor,
Oh what great men lie on the bier raised up.

2. While the Muslims look on, hearing and seeing,
None frightened of this, and none humble.

3. You awakened eyelids while you were to them a protection,
And let sleep eyes that were not with you lulled.

4. With your sight, eyes were darkened totally,
And the news of your death deafened every ear that hears.

5. No garden wished except that it
For your resting place, and for the line of your grave, was a spot.
