The writings, despite their differing opinions, and whoever said about it, the owner of Al-Mu'ayyad: "It is the home, it is not wealth, but sudden calamities. And the journeys are but misfortunes. How many a contented eye yesterday was warmed, and eyes whose tears are now flowing have cooled. O Allah, what calamity has befallen, what disaster has occurred, what thunderbolt has struck the hearts, and what incident has torn the pockets? Nay, what is our state, and the calamity of misfortunes, whose sides of paradise have crumbled, and a disaster that has befallen the mind of every human, and the strength has weakened, and the intellect has been bewildered, and the resolve has faltered, and the skin has weakened. So we have left it, and to Him we shall return. Then we believed in the words of the speaker: 'And what bliss after the passing of this bliss is false, and every bliss is inevitably passing.' 'And what bliss after the passing of this bliss is false, and every bliss is inevitably passing.' 'If the mourners weep, and you have arrived at the eyes, how do they generously shed tears? To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.' O Allah, from what the overwhelming calamity and the greatest misfortune has forgotten, with which the turns of days have surprised us. So it decreed by force upon the days, and upon the tears by their flowing, and upon the soul by its softness, and upon the eyes by their pain. So before, in weariness, there was rest for the spilled.

And the owner of Al-Ahram said: 'Thus let the burning be evident, and let the matter proceed, for there is no excuse for an eye whose veils have not overflowed.'

And the paths complained of his suffering, so it stood to guide the departed Amir of her noble one, to her success, the pockets, and the homes. Upon her great glory, with what has encompassed the affairs of tears, and has drawn out the life of solace. And how can one not weep? And the homeland for one who was its foundation. Nay, how can one not seek forgiveness for justice, and the wounded for one who was its companion and friend?
