أَلاَ يالَقَومٍ لِلأَسَى وَالتَّذكُّرِ

وَعَينٍ قَذَى إِنسانِها أُمُّ جَعفَرِ

O people, be sad and reminiscent

A mother's eyes that shed tears for Ja'far

فَلَم تَر عَينِي مِثلَ قَلبِىَ لَم يَطِر

وَلا كَضُلوعٍ تَحتَهُ لَم تَكَسَّر

My eyes have not seen the likes of my heart that did not fly

Nor ribs beneath that did not break
