1. We would pay to ransom you had death accepted payment,
And ones like you are redeemed by loved ones and enemies alike.

2. And those like you are not mourned with tears
But with souls pouring out grief indefinitely.

3. He who in life has not shed a single tear
If he sheds no tears in death, has not transgressed.

4. Otherwise you had always made us shed tears
In joy, so it's no wonder we cry in loss

5. Our love in life turned into sorrow
And you were with me in it, so I was left alone

6. Oh he who's gone on his way may God protect you
The spirits departed two-by-two and alone

7. A beloved of my heart, eyes and deepest feelings
So my grief for him was not solitary

8. The wind reminds me as it gently blew
The branch reminds me as it softly bent

9. I cried tears for him each tear
Containing a sea of tears turbulently flowing

10. Because I cry for the many perfect things about him
Of beauty, kindness, excellence and guidance

11. And the likes thereof from every perfect trait
So he's not one being but multitudes embodied

12. Peace be upon you oh you who tomorrow will be a ruler
Reigning powerfully in my heart though now darkened

13. You left and today feel no sorrow
While we remain in burning anguish kindled

14. You are congratulated and blessings poured upon you
Clouds visiting your grave to dampen it with dew
