1. My generous eye with your streaming tears
Remember in prosperity the people of graves

2. Remember Mu'tah and what was in it
The day they fled the battle of deception

3. When they fled and abandoned Zayd
What a good refuge for the weak and imprisoned

4. Love the best of people, all of them
The master of people, his love in hearts

5. That is Ahmad, none other than him
That is my sorrow and joy together

6. Indeed, Zayd was one of us by command
Not the command of the denier, the deluded

7. Then weep, O Khazraji, with tears
He was a master, then changed his purpose

8. There has come from their killing enough for us
So in sorrow I sleep, not in joy
