1. The eyes slept while your tears neglected
To flow steadily as the splint restricted the fractured bone

2. On a night when its sorrows fell upon me
At times I sigh, at others I writhe

3. My grief has accustomed me, so I stay like
I am entrusted with the daughters of a bier and the lofty sky

4. As if between my chest and guts
A flaming meteor entered me

5. Anguish for the regiment that succeeded each other
One day at Mu'tah, they were supported but did not retreat

6. May God protect them from ordeals
And may the pouring clouds water their bones

7. They endured with patience at Mu'tah, risking their souls for God
Fearing devastation and afraid to recoil

8. They went ahead of the Muslims as if
Their swords were iron rods twisted

9. As they followed Ja'far and his standards
With him ahead, an excellent vanguard

10. Until the ranks disengaged and Ja'far
Where the ranks converged was mangled

11. So the shining moon darkened due to his loss
The eclipsed sun nearly disappeared

12. A branch of Hashim stood firmly
A most fragrant, lofty summit not transferred

13. A people God protected through them His servants
And upon them the Book was revealed

14. They surpassed people in honor and nobility
And their dreams envelop those who are ignorant

15. They do not give their talents to the foolish
And their speaker is seen to judge with truth

16. O Hashimite, God has granted you
What no glib tongue can attain

17. A people, all supremacy was made their origin
And their offspring, the Prophet sent

18. Fair of face, their palms satisfied when
The time was harsh and difficult

19. And by their guidance, God was pleased for His creation
And by their striving, the Prophet sent was victorious
