With a heart tightened by grief.

With eyes pouring for the calamities of fate.

Lying slain in the desert by the two rivers.

Alone and friendless, "Where are my supporters?"

For a slain and oppressed man without guilt?

And threw the Messenger of Allah into afflictions.

وَأَلقَوا رَسولَ اللَهِ في الكَرَباتِ
