1. O child who was
Like a beautiful melody

2. And a white rose diffusing fragrance
In the domains of the noble

3. O child who was
In this existence

4. Delight conversing with the charm
Of the world with the honeyed chant

5. Dreams of the deceased have shut
Your eyelids

6. And troops of angels
Have fluttered around your faithful bed

7. And they have taken your soul to the heavens
The brides of the beloved light

8. Bearing gilded crowns
Of strange flowers

9. The tranquility of the great eternity has crowned you
And those hearts have wept for you

10. And the small grave has embraced you
And the people who

11. Escorted you to the cemeteries have dispersed
And forgotten you from their world as

12. If they had never known you
Life has distracted them from you

13. And the war of these creatures
Indeed, after you have lived life

14. Before knowing life
It is a sea whose stillness is corruption

15. And its clamor is misery
And on its shores hearts

16. Moan nakedly
It is a sea where storms surge

17. In the evening and morning
And clouds of darkness shade it

18. So there is no peace or life
The waves of the lake have forgotten you

19. And the shining stars
And the singing nightingale and those

20. Spacious meadows
And the streams of the flourishing valley

21. With their ripple and murmur
And the paths of the small mountain

22. With its grass and flowers
Even the friends, they lingered

23. Perplexed, wondering
Where this faithful one had vanished

24. But they knew that at night
The processions of darkness had carried you

25. To the distant mountains
So they forgot you like the people and turned

26. To beautiful amusement
Among the vine trees, streams,

27. Hilltops and plains
And they forgot the gentleness of your calm face

28. And your handsome appearance
And they forgot your beautiful singing

29. With your sweet, tender voice
And they went to the delightful prairie

30. Chasing its birds
And dislodging its rocks

31. And frolicking with its flowers
And from the white pebbles

32. And green grass they built
Chambers and huts crowned

33. With herbs and flowers
And from the brushwood

34. Amid laughter and playfulness
They made arcades of lasting roses

35. That rival palace blossoms
And tossed them in the river

36. As an offering to the gods of joy
So they floated dancing

37. To the murmur of the current
All forgot you and no longer

38. Remembered you in life
And time buried in the darkness

39. Of death even memories
Except a heart that continued throbbing

40. In existence for meeting you
And wishing it could give life

41. To death and ransom you
So when it saw a child crying for you

42. And if it saw an apparition it called you
It listened for your voice in existence

43. And saw only your splendor
It listened for your beautiful melody

44. In the murmur of the watercourse
In the ringing of the flute

45. In the singing of the birds
In the rumbling of the roaring sea

46. In the howling of the tempest
In the density of the forests

47. In the sound of crashing thunder
In the bleating of the gentle lamb

48. And in the shepherds' songs
Among the green meadows

49. And the hillside lush with plants

50. In the sigh of the complainer
And the clamor of noisy crowds

51. In the sob of the weeping one
Inflamed by the wailing of mourners

52. In all the voices of existence
Melodious and woeful

53. Tender and fierce
Loathsome and beloved

54. It saw you in nature's images
Sweet and foul

55. Grieving and cheerful
Lowly and sublime

56. In the gentleness of the serene dawn
And the dreaming nights

57. In the charm of the beautiful sunset
And the smiling stars

58. In the dance of the lake's waves
Under the lights of the stars

59. In the magic of spring's flowers
And the frolics of the clouds

60. In the flashing of the quivering lightning
And the hurtling of thunderbolts

61. In the baseness of the valley
And the enormity of towering mountains

62. In the scene of the woeful forest
And withering roses

63. In the gloom of the sorrowful night
And barren caves

64. Did you recognize this heart in
The darkness of those rocks

65. It is your mother's heart
Your intoxicated mother with the sorrows of existence

66. It is the heart that will live
Like a blind minstrel

67. Singing its lingering sorrow
To the final breath

68. Neither will the mistress of forgetfulness have mercy
On its grief and see its torment

69. No, nor will days wear down
With their fingers its agony

70. Unless fate weaves for it
The crown of madness

71. And it becomes wretchedly laughing
Frolicked with by years

72. It is the heart that
No matter how life changes

73. And relentless time thrusts
Into the ravines of creatures

74. And the world sings and the nightingale of the beautiful forest trills,
It will continue worshipping your memories

75. Neither tiring nor leaning
Like the earth walking on its soil

76. Are joy and youth
And night and the winged dawn

77. And storms and clouds
And love sprouts in its regions

78. Daisies and roses
And death digs wherever

79. Tombs and monuments stride
And pleasures pass between its chasms

80. Dreaming, swaying
Intoxicated and the cosmos' desires

81. Yearn to the distant horizon
And the ghosts of ages dance

82. To grief and amusement
Until the mist of death shrouds them

83. In the valley of perdition
And it continues to bloom and then flower

84. Then the morning spreads it
For death, for tearing thorns

85. For streams, for winds
The smiles of a dreaming visage

86. Flickering in the lapse of joy
And the roses of a smiling garden

87. Listening to the birds' melodies
And it continues to throb and then sing

88. Then dust covers it

89. A kiss and birds trilling
For life and youth

90. And it continues walking alongside
Death, life's joys

91. And the lark sings between
The skulls and skeletons

92. And the dreaming earth sings
Among the flock of stars

93. The ancient past's chant
And the eternal beginning's surah
