Forlorn of all hope,
as I write to you,
with the ink of my tears.
The notes of sympathy,
how may I express?
the grief, the pain, the misery;
that has embraced my chest.
With what lyrics can I convey,
the deepest agony that your lover's feel,
as they watch the golden dome,
of your beloved, tearing down?
O Abu Saleh Al Mahdi,
today, how may the sun shine,
the moon & the star's glow,
when, upon you has befallen immense sorrow?
My dearest Imam;
every broken fragment of the dome,
symbolizes a broken heart.
A heart, that repeatedly prays,
for your reappearance.
Our silent cries are insufficient,
to even console you, O Mahdi;
for today your father's holy shrine,
calls out for you.
By my parents,
My Master, O Mahdi,
the oppressive tyrants need a reply;
give them the strike of your Zulfiqar!
O Abu Saleh Al Mahdi,
May Allah hasten your reappearance.
