1. وافا حمامك يا حبيبي بالعجل

    نار تلهب في ضميري تشتعل

    Your death came swiftly, O my beloved.

    A fire flares and burns within my heart.

  2. يا من له شرف وفضل في الورى

    أمسى وحيداً مفرداً دون الأهل

    O you who possess honor and merit among humankind,

    you have become alone, solitary, apart from your family.

  3. الله أكبر من مصاب عمنا

    هماً وغماً لا يبيد ولا يفل

    God is greater than the calamity that has engulfed us

    with sorrow and anguish that neither fade nor abate.

  4. حمد حوى المجد الشريف تغيرت

    أيامه قد كان يضرب بالمثل

    Hamad attained noble glory; changed are

    his days—he once was held up as an example.

  5. صبراً لأولاد الإمام ومن لهم

    من أخوة وأقارب فيما نزل

    Patience for the Imam's children, and for their

    brothers and relatives, amid what has befallen them.

  6. لا غرو هذا قد أتى خير الورى

    لم تمنع الأموال عنه ولا الدول

    No wonder—this has befallen the best of humankind;

    neither wealth nor dominions kept it from him.
