1. The mourner broke me with the news of my lost love,
And settled in Egypt with no intention to return.

2. He let down his robe in the valley of villages,
Wandering between farms and palm trees.

3. The mourner wept for a valiant horseman,
A hero who charges when war calls.

4. People of Buthaina, mourn and wail,
Weep for your friend above all friends.
