1. O calamity that came from the east
You left nothing of me and did not spare

2. The death of Ali son of Musa al-Rida
From the wrath of God upon creation

3. My eyes began to prevent weeping
And ignited my innermost being with throbbing

4. And Islam began wandering
Due to a gaping tear

5. His grave watered the leaned stranger
In the land of Tus torrents of tears
