إِنَّ الرَزِيَّةَ يَومَ مَس

إِنَّ الرَزِيَّةَ يَومَ مَس

كَنَ وَالمُصيبَةَ وَالفَجيعَه

كَنَ وَالمُصيبَةَ وَالفَجيعَه

Indeed, the calamity on the day of Mas-

The tragedy that day was profound

When grief and calamity struck

بِاِبنِ الحَواريِّ الَّذي

بِاِبنِ الحَواريِّ الَّذي

لَم يَعدُهُ أَهلُ الوَقيعَه

لَم يَعدُهُ أَهلُ الوَقيعَه

befell the Disciple's son, whom

The son of Al-Hawari, who

the men of battle did not spare.

Was betrayed by the people of Waki'ah

غَدَرَت بِهِ مُضَرُ العِرا

غَدَرَت بِهِ مُضَرُ العِرا

قِ وَأَمكَنَت مِنهُ رَبيعَه

قِ وَأَمكَنَت مِنهُ رَبيعَه

He was betrayed by Mudar of Ira-

The evildoers of Iraq deceived him

q, and Rabiʿa gave others power over him.

And took advantage of his innocence

فَأَصَبتِ وِترَكَ يا رَبي

عُ وَكُنتِ سامِعَةً مُطيعَه

عُ وَكُنتِ سامِعَةً مُطيعَه

So you took your revenge, O Rabi-

So you were hurt, my Lord

ʿa, and you were attentive and obedient.

Though you hear and obey

يا لَهفَ لَو كانَت لَهُ

يا لَهفَ لَو كانَت لَهُ

بِالطَفِّ يَومَ الطَفِّ شيعَه

بِالطَفِّ يَومَ الطَفِّ شيعَه

Alas! Had he had

Oh, if only there had been for him

supporters at al-Taff on the day of al-Taff,

On the day of loss, supporters

أَو لَم يَخونوا عَهدَهُ

أَو لَم يَخونوا عَهدَهُ

أَهلَ العِراقِ بَنو اللَكيعَه

أَهلَ العِراقِ بَنو اللَكيعَه

or had they not betrayed his covenant—

Or if the people of Iraq had not broken their vow

the people of Iraq, sons of a vile woman—

The tribe of Lakiy'ah

لَوَجَدتُموهُ حينَ يَغ

لَوَجَدتُموهُ حينَ يَغ

ضَبُ لا يُعَرِّجُ بِالمُضيعَه

ضَبُ لا يُعَرِّجُ بِالمُضيعَه

you would have found him, when he grew an-

You would have found them, when angered

gry, not turning aside toward ruin.

Showing no mercy or restraint
