1. Death prowls all the lands
And death destroys all the slaves

2. It will take from generations I see
As it took from Thamud and Aad

3. They destroyed those past of Nizar
They destroyed those past of Iyad

4. Do you remember those who passed of Bani Assa
Masters of Persia and the plains

5. Do you remember those who passed of Bani Al-Asfar
The people of domes like pegs

6. Where, where is the Prophet, peace be upon him
Who has guided, righteous guides

7. Where is David, where, where is Solomon
The formidable, honorable and armies

8. Rider of the wind, subduer of jinn and mankind
With his power, humiliator of enemies

9. Where is Nimrod and his son, where is Karun
And Haman of stakes

10. Verily in remembering them is a lesson
And evidence of the path of guidance

11. They all entered the basin of death
Then did not leave the revenue

12. O you who are leaving the world
Take provision of the best provision

13. The nights will take you soon
With death so be prepared

14. Did you forget or forget death
Did you forget the separation of children

15. Did you forget the graves while you are in them
Between humiliation, loneliness and solitude

16. What day is the day of the race and you
Are called but do not answer the caller

17. What day is the day we part and your
Soul ascends from the guts and heart

18. What day is the day we part and you
Are in the throes of mighty struggle

19. What day is the day of screaming and heated
Faces of the noble and brave scream

20. Crying over you, lamenting with yearning
Beating hearts and livers

21. Responding with moaning and shedding
Tears pouring like a flood

22. What day did I forget the day of meeting
What day did I forget the day of calling

23. What day is the day of standing before God
And the day of Reckoning and testimony

24. What day is the day of passing over Hell
And its great, mighty horrors

25. What day is the day of salvation from the Fire
And horror of punishment and shackles

26. How many in graves were people of kingship
How many in graves were commanders

27. How many in graves were people of world
How many in graves were ascetics

28. If I had given sincere advice to myself
My worries would not have tasted sleep

29. If I had given sincere advice to myself
I would have busied the times in every valley

30. Wretched am I, wretched dead, the day I weep
Among my family and attending condolers

31. How can I be heedless and forget
Death and death is coming to take me

32. O you who have arrived, your arrival would refuse me
If you had tasted the flavor of my longing

33. O long sleeper, if only you knew
You would be dead of rhinestones, living praise
