By my father and mother, O Abū 'Abdallāh (i.e., Husayn ibn Ali)! You have exposed yourself to death. May God accept my life for yours!

O my grief! Your life will be violently wrenched from you and that is more wounding to my heart and harsher to my soul.

I will lose a brother. Would that death had deprived me of life today! My mother Fatimah is dead, and my father Ali Ibn Abi Tālib, and my brother Hasan ibn Ali. O! You are the successor of those who have passed away and the guardian of those who remain!
