1. My tears flowed over my cheeks and poured down
And the heat of sorrow has increased in my heart and ignited

2. And my heart collapsed the day I was told of his death
And the world narrowed around me as my tears fell

3. And sorrows and worries increased around me
Do not ask about my grieving heart, by Allah

4. I will cry for him every time dusk grows dark
And neither the bright dawn nor first light has smiled

5. He was a full moon, beautiful from the start
But after light and glory, he has set

6. Generous he was, and chief of uncles, a lord
When war’s horses gathered, he showed no dread

7. Vile enemies with chains surrounded him
Enable torture and iron upon him they put

8. Oh, would that I had been there, wings outspread
With a white blade that strikes left and right ahead

9. I'd have left them in the thick of battle, as corpses strewn
Over them the birds circle, on the plains, hills and dunes

10. By the right of He who the Quraysh circled at His House
And sent Taha and the Chosen as hope’s ultimate goal

11. I would kill a thousand chiefs of them in the fray’s heat
If the Merciful grants me life and expands my days
