Claude 2

  1. أَعَينَيَّ لا تَستَعجلا الدَمعَ وَاِنظُرا

    شَبيهَ اِبنِ اُمِّ المُؤمِنينَ المُوَدِّعِ

    My eyes, do not hasten the tears and look

    At the likeness of the son of Umm al-Mu'minin's farewell

  2. وَلا تَأيَسا أَن يَشعَبَ الصَدعَ بَعدَهُ

    أَريبٌ كَفَرعِ النَبعَةِ المُتَزَعزِعِ

    Do not despair that the rift will heal after him

    Dubious as the branch of the shaking spring

  3. جَديرٌ بِأَن يَسعى اِبنَ صِدقٍ كَما سَعى

    أَبوهُ عَلى مَسعى أَبٍ لَم يُضَيَّعِ

    Worthy that the son of truth should strive as

    His father strove in the endeavor of an undefeated father

  4. فَإِنَّ أَخِلّاءَ اِبنَ زَينَبَ أَصبَحوا

    شَتاتَ النَوى مِن مُصعِدٍ وَمُفَرِّعِ

    For the friends of the son of Zaynab have become

    Scattered seeds from valleys and plains

  5. وَكانوا كَحَيٍّ قَبلَهُم ذَعذَعَت بِهِم

    نَوائِبُ مِن أَيّامِ دَهرٍ مُذَعذَعِ

    And they were like a revived tribe shaken by

    The calamities of days of a turbulent time

  6. فَلَمّا تَبَيَّنتُ النَعِيَّ تَبادَرَت

    دُموعي كَسَكبِ الواكِفِ المُتَسَرِّعِ

    When the elegy was clear, my tears rushed

    Like the pouring of the hastening pilgrim

  7. بِمَكحولَةٍ بِالصابِ طَلَّت كَأَنَّها

    كُلى الغَربِ أَتَآهُ طِبابُ المُرَقَّعِ

    With eyes reddened by tears, they spilled as if

    The setting sun in the west was cloaked in clouds

  8. عَلى هالِكٍ مُستَودِعٍ قَعرَ حُفرَةٍ

    عَلى جالِها الأَعلى مَقامُ المُشَيَّعِ

    For a perished one, laid to rest in the depth of a grave

    While above him is the highest station of the mourned

  9. فَكَيفَ سَلِمتُم لَم تَموتوا وَعَهدُكُم

    بِهِ وَهوَ يُذري عَن أَكُفٍّ وَأَنرُعِ

    How could you be safe? Why did you not die, and your pact with him

    As he channeled from palms and forearms?
