لا يَشمَتِ الأَعداءُ بِالمَوتِ إِنَّنا

سَنُخلي لَهُم مِن عَرصَةِ المَوتِ مَورِدا

The enemies shall not gloat at death, for we

Will leave them a place at the watering hole of death.

وَلا تَحسَبَنَّ المَوتَ عاراً فَإِنَّنا

رَأَينا المَنايا قَد أَصَبنَ مُحَمَّدا

And think not that death is a disgrace, for we

Saw that death had struck Muhammad.

وَلا يَحسِبِ الأَعداءُ أَنَّ مُصيبَتي

أَكَلَّت لَهُم مِنّي لِساناً وَلا يَدا

And let not the enemies think that my tragedy

Has silenced my tongue or bound my hands.

تَتابَعَ في عامٍ بَنِيَّ وَإِخوَتي

فَأَصبَحتُ إِن لَم يُخلِفِ اللَهُ واحِدا

My sons and brothers follow one another in death

And I will be left with no one, unless God spares one.
