1. عَينُ جودي فَإِنَّ ذاكَ شِفائي

    لا تَمَلّي مِن زَفرَةٍ وَبُكاءِ

    O eye, pour forth tears, for that is my cure.

    Do not tire of sighing and weeping,

  2. حينَ قالوا إِنَّ الرَسولَ قَدَ اَمسى

    مَيِّتاً إِنَّ ذاكَ جَهدُ البَلاءِ

    when they said, “The Messenger has become

    dead”—indeed, that is the utmost affliction.

  3. اِندُبي خَيرَ مَن بَرا اللَهُ في الدُن

    يا وَمَن خَصَّهُ بِوَحيِ السَماءِ

    Lament the best of those God created in the world,

    and him whom He singled out for revelation from heaven,

  4. بِدُموعٍ غَزيرَةٍ مِنكِ حَتّى

    يَقضِيَ اللَهُ فيكِ حَتمَ القَضاءِ

    with copious tears from you, until

    God fulfills His irrevocable decree upon you.

  5. وَلَقَد كانَ ما عَلِمتِ وَصولاً

    وَلَقَد كانَ رَحمَةً في سَناءِ

    And indeed, as you knew, he was devoted to kinship ties.

    And indeed he was mercy in exalted splendor.

  6. وَلَقَد كانَ بَعدَ ذلِكَ نوراً

    وَسِراجاً يُضيءُ في الظَلماءِ

    And indeed, beyond that, he was a light,

    and a lamp shining in the darkness.

  7. طَيِّبَ العودِ وَالضَريبَةِ وَالمَع

    دِنِ وَالخيمِ خاتِمَ الأَنبِياءِ

    Noble in stock, disposition, and origin,

    and character—the Seal of the Prophets.
