ياعينُ فابكى ولاتسأَمى

وحُقَّ البكاءُ على السَّيدِ

O eyes, weep and do not tire,

Weeping is a rightful duty for the Master,

على خيرِ خِنْدِفَ عند البَلا

ءِ أمسى يُغَيَّب فى المُلْحَدِ

For the best shelter in times of tribulation,

Has passed away and lies in the grave.

فصلَّى المليكُ ولىُّ العبادِ

وربُّ البلاد على أحْمدِ

The King prayed, the Guardian of all servants,

And the Lord of the lands, over Ahmed.

فكيف الحياةُ لفقْدِ الحبيب

وزَيْن المعاشِر فى المَشْهدِ

How can life go on without the Beloved,

And the adornment of all company at the scene.

فليتَ المماتَ لنا كلِّنا

وكنَّا جميعاً مع المهتدِى

If only death would take us altogether,

And we would all be with the Rightly Guided.
