1. The dispute was only settled by an impartial judge,
And his sword was only sheathed once blood was spilled.

2. Oh their homes! Inform us what they have done,
For the longing one is sometimes ignorant of what is known.

3. I was gladdened that they were gladdened by my illness,
So I increased in sickness so they would rejoice in woe.

4. God knows that the day they left,
I regretted that I did not die in their wake in regret.

5. I ask God to grant me patience with which to live,
So that its existence after them is nonexistence.
