1. O Ali son of Thabit, where are you
You are among the graves where you were buried
١. يا عَلِيَّ بنَ ثابِتٍ أَينَ أَنتا
أَنتَ بينَ القُبورِ حَيثُ دُفِنتا
2. O Ali son of Thabit, a companion has departed from me
Whose absence I felt painfully since we bonded
٢. يا عَلِيَّ بنَ ثابِتٍ بانَ مِنّي
صاحِبٌ جَلَّ فَقدُهُ يَومَ بِنتا
3. O my partner in good, may God have mercy on you
What a good partner in good you were
٣. يا شَريكي في الخَيرِ يَرحَمُكَ اللا
هُ فَنِعمَ الشَريكُ في الخَيرِ كُنتا
4. By my life, you have described to me the agonies of death
And you have agitated me towards it and calmed me
٤. قَد لَعَمري حَكيتَ لي غُصَصَ المَو
تِ وَحَرَّكَتني لَها وَسَكَنتا
