جَعْدَةُ بَكِّيةِ وَلاَ تَسْأمِي

بَعْدَ بُكَاءِ المُعْوِلِ الثَّاكِلِ

With unkempt hair weeping endlessly

After the wailing of the bereaved mother

عَلَى ابْنِ بِنْتِ الطَّاهِرِ المُصطَفَى

وابْنِ ابْنِ عَمّ المُصْطَفَى الفَاضِلِ

For the son of the daughter of the Chosen One

And the son of the cousin of the Excellent Chosen One

لَمْ يَسَلِ السُّم عَلَى مِثْلِهِ

فِي الأرضِ مِنْ حَافٍ وَمِنْ نَاعِلِ

Poison did not flow to his like

On earth, from a snake or a sand viper

كَانَ إذَا شُبَّتْ لَهُ نَارُهُ

يَرْفَعُهَا بِالسَّيِّدِ الْقَاتِلِ

Whenever its fire was kindled for him

He would lift it with the killer master

كَيْمَا يَرَاهَا بَائسٌ مُرْمِلٌ

أوْ فَرْدُ قَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِالآهِلِ

So that a suffering, destitute person would see it

Or an individual whose tribe was not empty

يُغلِي بَنِي اللَّحْمِ حَتَّى إذا

أنْضِجَ لَمْ يُغْلِ عَلى آكِلِ

He would boil the sons of flesh until when

He sufficiently cooked, he did not overcook for the eater

أَعْنِي الَّذِي أسْلَمَنَا هُلْكُهُ

لِلزَّمَنِ الْمُسْتَخْرِجِ المْاحِلِ

I mean the one whose loss

We surrendered to the extracting, vanishing time
