إِنَّ الَّتِي تَجَلَتْ عَلِيّاً أَنْجَبَتْ

لِلْعِلْمِ أَنْفَسَ دُرَّةٍ فِي عِقْدِهِ

She who revealed herself to Ali begot

For knowledge the finest pearls in its necklace

قَدْ نَشَّأَتْهُ عَلَى الفَضَائِلِ وَالعُلَى

فَبِحَمْدِهَا نَطَقَ المُشِيدُ بِحَمْدِهِ

She raised him in virtues and nobility

So through her praise the eulogizer praises him

لا بِدْعَ إِنْ عَمَّ الأَسَى فِي فَقْدِهَا

وَطَناً يَفِي لِلْمُحْسِنِينَ كَعَهْدِهِ

There is no innovation if grief spreads in her absence

A homeland fulfilling for the benevolent as was its wont

فَمَشَى وَرَاءَ النَّعْشِ فِي تَشْيِيعِهَا

كُبَرَاءُ قَادَتِهِ وَنُخْبَةُ جُنْدِهِ

So he walked behind the bier in her funeral procession

The elite leaders and choice soldiers of his troops

أَعْطَتْهُ مِنْ دَمِهَا وَدَمْعِ عُيُونِهَا

أَنْقَى مَفَاخِرِهِ وَأَنْبَغَ وُلْدِهِ

She gave him from her blood and tears of her eyes

The purest pride of his glories and most distinguished son

وَبَنَتْ لَهُ بِعَنَائِهَا وَسُهَادِهَا

تِلْكَ الدَّعَامَةَ مِنْ دَعَائِمِ مَجْدِهِ

And built for him with her care and pillows

That pillar among the pillars of his glory

أَعَلِيُّ هَلْ تَلْفَى لِعَجْزِكَ جَازِعاً

وَالطُّبُّ قَدْ أَعْطَاكَ مَا فِي حَدِّهِ

O Exalted One, will you collapse in despair

When medicine has given you what was in its limit

إِنْ لَمْ يَفِدْهَا الطُّبُّ إِلاَّ جَهْدُهُ

مَاذَا عَلَيْكَ وَتِلْكَ غَايَةُ جُهْدِهِ

If medicine does not avail her except its effort

What is upon you, and that is the extent of its effort

الأَمْرُ أَمْرُ اللهِ إِنْ يَعْجِلْ وَإِنْ

يَمْهِلْ وَمَا تَعْدُوهُ حِيلَةُ عَبْدِهِ

The matter is God's affair, whether He hastens or

Delays, and no scheme of His servant exceeds Him

أَمَا جُرِحْتَ بِحَيْثُ لا تَأْسُو يَدٌ

فَجِرَاحُ نَفْسِكَ بِرْؤُهَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ

Have you not been hurt such that no hand can heal

So the wounds of your soul by seeing her are from Him

حَسْبَ الفَقيدَةِ أَنْ تُلاقِي رَبَّهَا

وَتُثَابُ خَيْراً فِي النَّعِيمِ وَخُلْدِهِ

It suffices the deceased to meet her Lord

And be rewarded with good in bliss and eternity
