إِحدى المُلِمَّات الجَلائِل

أَودَت بِفَضلٍ وَالفَضائِل

One of the great disasters

That did away with excellence and virtues

يا ذا الرِئاسَة وَالسِيا

سَةِ وَاِبنَ سادَتِها الأَوائِل

O you of leadership, politics and a son of its foremost masters

The graves were delighted by you, and the houses were made desolate by your loss

أَنِسَت ببهجتك القُبو

رُ وَأَوحَشَت مِنك المَنازِل

Today obligations were suspended and a striker for Islam arrived

Who will be there for the poor, the stranger, the orphans and the widows

اليَوم عُطِّلت الفُرو

ضُ وَصالَ بِالإِسلامِ صائِل

Who will take on the mighty adversities and defeat the fierce warriors

It descended upon the family of Muhammad and forgot the descending misfortunes

مَن لِلعَديم وَلِلغَري

مِ وَلِليَتامى وَالأَرامِل

It studied the way of the hopeful and disabled its water springs

And the earth, its exterior became barren while its interior became populated

من يَحمل الخَطب الجَلي

لَ وَيُبطِل البَطل الحُلاحِل

Death after you is a blessing and life after you is of no use

Either time changes with you as praise of you is never ending

نَزلت بِآل مُحَمَّد

وَالدِّينِ منسِيَةُ النَّوازِل

In God and the trustworthy, the satisfactory is a substitute for the sane

The likes of the Caliph and the contentment compensated for the major sins

دَرَست سَبيلَ الرَّاغِبي

نَ وَعَطّلَت منها المَناهِل

And the generous sons are for the generous and kinsmen for the fortresses

One whose brother is good and resembles him did not die in his endeavors

وَالأَرضُ أَصبح ظَهرها

قَفراً وَبَطنُ الأَرضِ آهِل

Asking the Commander of the Faithful with the tongues and the sheaths

Since there is no protection from the enemies except through fighting

المَوتُ بَعدَك نِعمَة

وَالعَيشُ بَعدَك غَيرُ طائِل

In the young men whose swords, on the day of thrusting, had fortresses for them

Covering their hearts over the armors when the adversity comes

إِمّا يَزُل بِكَ ذا الزَّما

نُ فَإِنَّ مَدحك غَير زائِل

Bearing every grandeur, dignified and questioning

في اللَّهِ وَالمَأمونِ مِن

هُ المُرتَضى عِوَضٌ لِعاقِل

مِثلُ الخَليفَةِ وَالرِّضى

عَزّا عن النُوَب الجَلائِل

وَبَني الأَكارِم لِلأَكا

رِمِ وَالعَقائِلِ لِلمَعاقِل

ما ماتَ مَن حَسَنٌ أَخو

هُ وَشِبهُه فيما يحاوِل

سائِل أَميرَ المُؤمِني

نَ بِهِ الأَسِنّةَ وَالمناصِل

إِذ لا مَقيلَ لَها من ال

أعداءِ إِلّا في المقاتِل

في فتية أَسيافُهُم

يَوم الطِّعانِ لَهم مَعاقِل

مُتَدرِّعين قُلوبَهُم

فَوقَ الدُّروعِ لَدى التَّنازل

حَمَّال كل عَظيمَة

وَمَعانِ معترّ وَسائِل
