فَجودا إِذا أَنفَدتُما الماءَ بِالدَمِ
O my eyes, after Ibn Musa there is nothing to keep in reserve;
My eyes, after Ibn Musa there is no treasure
so pour forth blood when you have exhausted your tears.
Like you two, generous when you shed blood instead of water,
وَهيجاand well up, you two إِذاwhen نامَsleeps الخَلِيُّthe carefree one وَأَسعِداand aid, you two
وَهيجا إِذا نامَ الخَلِيُّ وَأَسعِدا

عَلَيهِ بِنَوحٍ مِنكُما كُلَّ مَأتَمِ
And well up when the carefree sleep, and aid
And passionate when the unwise sleep while you mourn him
every mourning gathering with your lament for him.
With wailing, wherever there is grief for him.
وَماand what لَكُماis with you two لاnot تَبكِيانِyou two weep وَقَدwhile already بَكَتhas wept

And why do you two not weep, when
Why do you not weep when all eyes have wept for him,
every eye, of the eloquent and the speechless, has wept for him?
Eloquent and inarticulate?
فَأَيُّso which فَتىًyoung man بَعدَafter اِبنِson of موسىMusa نُعِدُّهُshall we keep him ready
فَأَيُّ فَتىً بَعدَ اِبنِ موسى نُعِدُّهُ
لِيَومِfor a day of لِقاءٍbattle أَوor حَمالَةِundertaking payment of مَغرَمِa financial liability
لِيَومِ لِقاءٍ أَو حَمالَةِ مَغرَمِ
What youth, after Ibn Musa, shall we hold in readiness
After Ibn Musa, what young man do we consider
for a day of battle, or to shoulder a debt's burden?
For a day of meeting, or a passionate undertaking?
فَتىًa young man بَينَbetween صِدّيقِthe Truthful One النَبِيِّthe Prophet فُروعُهُhis lineage's branches

وَطَلحَةَand Talha مَحمودِpraised for الخَلائِقِcharacter traits خِضرِمِboundlessly generous
وَطَلحَةَ مَحمودِ الخَلائِقِ خِضرِمِ
A youth whose lineage branches from the Prophet's Truthful One
A young man whose ancestry lies between the Prophet's bosom friend
and Talha, praised for his character, boundlessly generous.
And Talha, the praised one of all mankind, long-lived,
وَلَوand if شاءَhe wished إِذwhen وَلّىfled الكَتائِبُthe battalions حَولَهُaround him
وَلَو شاءَ إِذ وَلّى الكَتائِبُ حَولَهُ
تَعالىhe would have mounted عَلىupon باقيremaining العُلالَةِreserve vigor مِرجَمِa stone-flinging steed
تَعالى عَلى باقي العُلالَةِ مِرجَمِ
And had he wished, when the battalions around him fled,
And if he had wished, when the armies rallied around him,
he could have mounted a stone-flinging steed with vigor still in reserve.
He would have triumphed over the rest of the deposed,
وَلَكِنand yet رَأىhe saw أَنَّthat الحَياةَlife ذَميمَةٌcontemptible
وَلَكِن رَأى أَنَّ الحَياةَ ذَميمَةٌ
وَأَنَّand that المَناياfated deaths تَرتَقيclimb كُلَّevery سُلَّمِladder
وَأَنَّ المَنايا تَرتَقي كُلَّ سُلَّمِ
But he saw that life was contemptible,
But he saw that life is worthless,
and that death climbs every ladder,
And that death climbs every ladder.
وَأَنَّand that فِرارَthe flight of المُسلِمينَthe Muslims خَزايَةٌa disgrace
وَأَنَّ فِرارَ المُسلِمينَ خَزايَةٌ
وَأُحدوثَةٌand a tale تَنميspreads إِلىto كُلِّevery مَوسِمِseasonal gathering
وَأُحدوثَةٌ تَنمي إِلى كُلِّ مَوسِمِ
and that the Muslims' flight was a disgrace,
He saw the Muslims’ flight was shameful
and a tale spreading to every seasonal gathering.
And scandalous, spreading in every season.
وَعِندَand with اِبنِson of موسىMusa السالِمِيَّal-Salimi كَأَنَّهُas though it were
وَعِندَ اِبنِ موسى السالِمِيَّ كَأَنَّهُ
عَتيقٌa noble hawk بِكَفَّيin both hands of قانِصٍa hunter مُتَقَرِّمِcraving meat
عَتيقٌ بِكَفَّي قانِصٍ مُتَقَرِّمِ
And with Ibn Musa was al-Salimi, as though it were
To Ibn Musa the Islamist it was as if
a noble hawk in the hands of a hunter craving meat,
He was an old man with calloused palms made rigid.

تَبُذُّ هَواديها يَدَي كُلِّ مُلجِمِ
and lean-flanked steeds with sleek backs,
The chasing horses, their chests bared,
their necks outstripping every bridler's hands:
Gallop wildly, terrorizing every warrior,
عَناجيجُswift, long-necked steeds مِنfrom آلِthe stock of الصَريحِal-Sarih كَأَنَّماas though

يَخَلنَ اِلتِهابَ الشَدِّ أَسلابَ مَغنَمِ
fleet, long-necked horses of al-Sarih's stock, as though
Neighing steeds from the clan of As-Sarih, as if
they imagined the blaze of galloping was plunder to be won.
Their neighing ignited the intensity of battle, stirred the booty.
فَقالَthen he said لِمَنto whoever يَرجوhopes for الإِيابَthe return اِستَغِثseek rescue بِهاthrough them

وَكَرَّand charged back كَمَخضوبِlike one stained الذِراعَينِin both forelegs ضَيغَمِa lion
وَكَرَّ كَمَخضوبِ الذِراعَينِ ضَيغَمِ
He told whoever hoped to return, 'Seek rescue in them,'
So he said to whoever hopes for success, seek refuge in them,
and charged back like a lion with blood-stained forelegs.
And attack, his arms dyed red, like a diving young camel.

With the sword of Abu Bakr and Talha, he sheared
With the swords of Abu Bakr and Talha he decapitates
the rings of fine chainmail from every wrist.
The throat of the transgressor, cutting off every support.

So tell the thoroughbred horses to withhold their backs,
Say to the emancipators of horses, restrain their chests,
for treacherously slain and taken from them is he who said, 'Advance
For the one who says to them “advance” is gone.

into death's engulfing depths!' The thoroughbreds complain
At the overwhelming floods of death, their emancipators complain
when they confront spear-strokes and the rumble of neighs.
When the clash of spears and deep sighing begins.

He freely gave a life whose like is never given,
He sacrifices a soul that cannot be equaled
when every marked warrior changed his insignia because of him.
If its mark changes him, as does every standard.

After Muhammad, the days have violated
every tightly twisted strand of the people's strength.
His people, from their treaties, every firm one.
