جاؤُوا بِرَأْسِكَ يا ابْنَ بِنْتِ مُحَمّدٍ

مُتَرَمِّلاً بِدِمائِهِ تَرْمِيلا

They brought your head, O son of Muhammad's daughter

Dripping with blood, dripping steadily

وكأنّما بِكَ يا ابْنَ بنتِ مُحَمّدٍ

قَتَلوا جَهاراً عامدينَ رَسُولا

As though in killing you, O son of Muhammad’s daughter

They had openly killed the Messenger himself

قَتَلُوكَ عَطْشَاناً ولَمّا يَرْقُبُوا

في قَتْلِكَ التنِّزيلَ والتّأْويلا

They killed you thirsty, with no regard

For the revelation or scripture in your murder

ويُكَبِّرونَ بِأَنْ قُتِلْتَ وإنّما

قَتَلوا بكَ التّكْبيرَ والتّهْليلاَ

And they glorify that you were killed, even though

In killing you they have killed glorification and praise
