1. My heart is broken,
My tears overflowing and cascading.

2. God's signs are wondrous,
And time's folds bear lessons.

3. God, what is this world and its trials?
What is fate, destiny and decree?

4. Oh Faisal, souls perish,
Oh Faisal, days expire.

5. Oh Faisal, lives fade
Like time, neither long nor short.

6. The sun is pale in the sky,
And stars and moon in succession.

7. The birds grieving and lamenting,
The flowers barren and fruitless.

8. The desert is set with its people,
And the air above the desert is murky.

9. God, grief is drowning,
Hopes trickling down.

10. God, thoughts roam astray,
Ghosts and visions surround them.

11. Grief spreads far, oh fate!
Mortals take their own lives, oh fate!

12. The universe is devoid of its charms,
And time twists in its folds.

13. Oh mighty Faisal, forgive us,
I and the Lord of the house apologize.

14. If you could be ransomed, our beloved,
Our hearing and sight would ransom you.

15. We would ransom you with our souls, no lies,
No, by God, deception or pretense.

16. You were our companion in days past,
Today there is no yesterday or late nights together.

17. After you, all sleep is wakefulness,
And living after you is bitterness.

18. Memories today inflame us,
With longing for the past, so we recall.

19. These are our days,
Rising and falling over us.

20. Oh absent warrior, condolences
From one whose thoughts have been disturbed.

21. Your Master, oh my Master, mourns you,
The nomads in the deserts and cities alike.

22. And all people, faith, dignity,
Glory, devotion, triumph,

23. The sun, the planets, the moon,
Jinn, angels and trees.

24. Family of Hussein, God protect you,
Events and others have made you grieve.
