1. O who feels for me the inhabitants of the graves, and sees them
Who feels them for me between the layers of dust

2. Who feels for me those whom I used to befriend and they would befriend me
So I was estranged after the gathering

3. Who feels them for me while he is preoccupied with curing a grief
While being busy curing it from whoever called

4. Who feels them for me above the surface of his bed
As a group walks with it to the house of destruction

5. O you who are alive yet dead
You wasted your life with excuses and wishes

6. As for old age, its garment has covered you
And stripped off your hands the clothes of youth

7. The generation whom you knew has passed
To their path, and you will join those who passed

8. Little remains so be prepared
And little your happiness will be pure if it is pure

9. And this is the path so take provisions for it
As if your day is soon to come

10. Verily, riches are but contentment itself
How far is the greedy nature from riches

11. Do not let it preoccupy you if you turn away from what
You woke up upon, neither perhaps nor maybe

12. Oppose your desire if it calls you to doubt
For there is much good in opposing desire

13. The sign of proof is clear to its seeker
And I see the hearts blind to the proof

14. And I have wondered at one destroyed and one saved
They are both found, and I wondered at one saved

15. And I wondered that he forgot the Dove, while there is no
Escape from it even if delayed

16. The hours of your night and day both
Are messengers to you and they hasten the pace

17. And if you are saved then it is but the mercy of
The King, the Merciful, and if you perish then with retribution

18. O dweller of the world, are you secured from its decline
You see the days going around the mill

19. Eternity destroyed every one fortified
At the head of a towering, impregnable mountain

20. Where are the first ones who built the fortresses and mobilized
In them armies as a deterrent, where are the first ones

21. Where are the brave patient ones, protective
On a day of madness, defending violated sanctity

22. And the ones with pulpits, armies, registers
Sieges, cities and villages

23. And the ones with processions, ships, squadrons
Fighting groups, and high ranks

24. The King of Kings destroyed them so they became
None remains that can be felt or seen

25. He is the Hidden, the Evident, the King who
Has always ruled, mounted on the Throne

26. He is the Ordainer, the Planner of His creation
And He is the One with no equal in kingship

27. He is the One who judges what suits Him
Regarding us, and no judgement can be passed on Him when He judges

28. And He is the One who sent the Prophet Muhammad
May Allah send blessings on the Chosen Prophet

29. He is the One who saved and rescued us through him
After misguidance, from error to guidance

30. Until when, my friend, will you not beware
Until when, until when, and until when

31. As the night passes, and the day, and in them
Lessons pass and ideas for those of high resolve

32. Until when do you seek to build a home
You do not feel safe in from tremors or harm

33. O company of the dead, o guests of
The earth, how did you find the taste of soil

34. O people of the graves, dust has erased your faces
O people of the graves, those beauty has changed

35. O people of the graves, it is enough to be distant from your homes
Verily the homes are desolate without you

36. O people of the graves, no connection remains between you
Whoever died, his rope has become loose

37. How many a brother of mine whose grave I stood over
And supplicated for him to Allah, your harm is from one excellent

38. O brother did not the death that came protect you
What the doctor fed you or made you drink

39. O brother, did the talismans not avail you
What I feared over you, neither those nor the charms

40. O brother how did you find the narrowness of the
Grave's darkness, and how did you find the constriction of the niche

41. I used to dislike being separated from you alive
More agonizing than it is the separation of the returning place

42. So today it is right that I fret since
The decree of God was carried out on me regarding you as it was carried out

43. My eye cries you then my heart grieves
And is torn because of you when it cries

44. And when I remember you o brother my
Liver is torn so I toss in anxiety and grief
