1. I stayed up, so my night lingered endlessly
I know not what I should truly say

2. As if the night has no end
And the night of my brother's tragedy is long

3. Our land has become bare from what afflicted it
It sways with us and almost disappears

4. The land almost folds us altogether
Its sides almost tilt with us

5. Indeed, our affliction has grown great and momentous
And it behooves our humiliation to wail

6. Messenger of God, my beloved
For what the enemies did, my soul drips

7. Whatever the enemies sketch
Evilly dishonors you - it is a grave matter

8. How can life be sweet in the world
When the Messenger is insulted on earth

9. A prophet who would dispel doubts about us
The prophet of good, there is none like him

10. He removes falsehood from hearts indeed
With what is revealed to him and what he says

11. And guides us and we fear no misguidance
For his path is the best path

12. We see the mercies of the Lord of the Throne brought down upon us
And the Messenger is our guide

13. And the Messenger said a true hadith
"Upon you is my way" - a beautiful guide

14. Lo, bite upon it and follow it
For in it lies the good, you have no substitute

15. So when we neglected it we were wretched
And the path of our misery is long

16. Messenger of God, my poetry is to you
And my final destination is your acceptance

17. Messenger of God, my poems are swords
With which I champion your sublime worth

18. And they did not attain the Messenger from you
For your light cannot be reached by setting

19. All buildings will disappear from every land
But love for you, my beloved, never disappears

20. Messenger of God, I ransom you with my life
Though my life, my master, is little

21. Messenger of God, my longing for
Meeting you has grown - so when is the arrival?
