I remain bewildered and lonely Confused and lonesome My voice is subdued My back is broken My life is disturbed I find no one, Father, after you to attend to my loneliness Neither to stop my tears Nor to support me in times of weakness Surely precise revelations, the place of Gabriel's descendence and Michael's location have vanished after you Father, Motives (of others) have changed And gates have been shut in my face Thus, I detest this world after you And my tears shall be shed for you as long as breath continues to exist in me My longing for you shall not cease My sadness for (being separated from) you shall not vanish Fatima az-Zahra (sa) then cried out loudly: Father!!
With you went the light of the world Its flowers wither away after blossoming in your presence Father!! I will forever be sorrowful for you until we are reunited Father!! Sleeping has left me since we have been separated Father!! Who is there for the widows and the orphans Who will we have for the Ummah until The Day of Rising?! Father! We became-after you-among the oppressed Father!!
People shun us after you After we were glorified by your presence among men Thus, what tear shall not spill on your departure? What sadness (after you) shall not continue to exist? Which eyelid shall be smeared with slumber? You are the spring of faith and the light of Prophets So how can mountains not sway? And seas not dry out? How can the Earth not tremble? Father! I have been afflicted with the greatest sorrow, and my disaster is not minor! Father!!
I have been inflicted with the greatest misfortune and the biggest calamity Angels cry for you, and stars cease to move because of you Your minbar (after you) is gloomy, Your minbar is empty Of your secret conversation (with your Lord) Your grave is joyful for holding you And Paradise is delighted with your presence Supplication and prayers Father!! How gloomy are your meeting places (without your presence)!! How pained I am for you, until I soon join you!!
