Tears of the World
Weep for me, friends, for now that I am hence,
Lo, in Time's dust the footprints of my pride!
Lament, strong lions of my great defence,
Shed tears, my young gazelles and dewy-eyed!
Look ye, the cold stars even in the height
Weep, and the clouds lift not their mournful night.
Weep, Wahid, weep, and Zahi with the towers,
Weep ye for him that shall not come again.
All waters of the earth, all dew and showers
Have tears for Mu'tamid, and the summer rain
That once strewed pearls upon him, is become
A sea-wave full of sand and sound and foam.
Lo, in Time's dust the footprints of my pride!

Weep, Wahid, weep, and Zahi with the towers,
Weep ye for him that shall not come again.
All waters of the earth, all dew and showers
Have tears for Mu'tamid, and the summer rain
That once strewed pearls upon him, is become
A sea-wave full of sand and sound and foam.
