جلل ألم على الكرام فهالا
وأمال عرش المكرمات فمالا
The pain of the noble stings the generous souls
And the hopes of the throne of honours have withered
جلل له اسود البلاد وأرجف
السبع الشداد وزلزلت زلزالا
Darkness has befallen the lands and the mighty seven shook
The earth with tremors and quakes
لو أنه بالشهب حل لقضها
أو بالجبال لقلقل الأجبالا
If only he descended like a shooting star to fulfill his decree
Or like mountains shaking mountains
يوما به ألوى القضا بمحمد
الحسن الزكي مآثرا وفعالا
The day he passed, justice turned to Muhammad
The virtuous, the pure, with deeds and actions
قل للألى شدوا الرحال فلا أرى
أحدا تشد له الأنام رحالا
Say to the exalted, set forth your journey, for I do not see
Anyone else people would set forth a journey for
قد كان بحر ندى وغاض عبابه
فالناس تحسو بعده الأوشالا
He was an ocean of light, but its waves have stilled
And people now face dry basins after him
علم سوى المعروف لم يعرف ولم
يعقد على غير التقى سربالا
None knew virtue except him, and none
Wore a cloak except of piety
وبعول في أهل الزمان تكرما
فكأنهم كانوا عليه عيالا
He prized the people of his time with generosity
As if they were his own children
باصارف الأهوال عنا من بنا
خلفت بعدك يصرف الأهوالا
O turner away of afflictions from us, protect us
From the evils left behind without you
هل كيف لم تعول شريعة أحمد
حزنا وكنت لها حمى وثمالا
How could the law of Ahmed not mourn
When you were its protector and guard
ولكم ضربت من العلوم جواهرا
مثلا فعزت في العلوم مثالا
You set forth gems of knowledge as examples
And excelled in the sciences as an example
ذهبت فضيلتها بكل فضيلة
للعالمين أواخرا واوالا
With every virtue, his excellence disappeared
For all people, present and future
تنبيك عن حكم الجليل كأنما
جبريل أنزل آيها انزالا
Your advice about the majestic law was as if
Gabriel had just descended with a verse
وكأنما خطت على ألواحها
أٌلامه التفصيل والاجمالا
As if his signs were inscribed with details
On tablets, in brief and in full
تلك الجواهر ما وردت بحارها
إلا سقتك نميرها السلسالا
Those gems only flowed from his seas
To quench your thirst forever
كانت تلألأ في وجودك بهجة
واليوم بعدك حزنها يتوالى
In your life, you were blissful joy
And today, after you, sorrow continues
لولا بنوك قضيت فيك وإنما
شاهدت نورك فيهم يتلالا
If not for your sons, I would have despaired for you
But I saw your light in them, shining bright
هم صفوة المجد المؤثل والألى
شرعوا حراما للورى وحلالا
They are the elite glory and pride
Who deemed forbidden and legal for people
قامت قنا الاسلام فيهم واكتسى
أهلوه فيهم عزة وجلالا
The pillar of Islam stood with them, and they adorned
It with might and majesty
كالندب ابراهيم والمولى الذي
مدت يداه على الانام ضلالا
Like the grief of Abraham and the Master whose
Hands stretched to the misguided people
وشقيقه عبد الحسين ومن به
نالت بنو الدنيا أعز نوالا
And his brother Abdel Hussein, and through him
The people of this world attained great fortune
قرم حوى ما في أبيه ولم يزل
في كل شيء يحتذبه مثالا
He preserved what was in his father, and always
Followed his example in everything
والماجد السبط الحسين معظم
تعنو له عظماؤها إجلالا
And the glorious grandson Al-Hussein, so revered
The elite bow to him in utmost respect
واخي العلا الاسنى علي والذي
عم الأنام بفضله افضالا
And my brother, the most distinguished Ali, who
Bestowed his overflowing grace upon all people
لكم التسلي بالتقي محمد
أسخى بني الهادي وأكرم آلا
Take solace in the pious Muhammad
The most generous son of Al-Hadi and the most gracious family
والمرنقي في العلم أعلى منزل
لو طاولته النيرات لطالا
And the towering master of knowledge Al-Marnaki
Whose loftiness would be high if extended by palms
علامة العلماء من أضحت له
العلماء تسحب بالهنا أذيالا
The benchmark of scholars, before whom
Scholars trail their hems
لا انفك صوب العفو يسقى تربة
فيها انطوى الابكار والاصالا
He does not cease to direct towards pardon, watering the soil
In which the chaste and virtuous are wrapped
