To Cassim Obid Allah, On the Death of One of His Sons, by Ali Ben Ahmed Ben Mansour
TO CASSIM OBID ALLAH,
ON THE DEATH OF ONE OF HIS SONS.
BY ALI BEN AHMED BEN MANSOUR.
POOR Cassim! thou art doomed to mourn,
By Destiny's decree;
Whatever happen, it must turn
To misery for thee.
By Destiny's decree;
Whatever happen, it must turn
To misery for thee.
Two sons hadst thou, the one thy pride,
The other was thy pest;
Ah, why did cruel Death decide
To snatch away the best?
No wonder thou shouldst droop with woe,
Of such a child bereft:
But now thy tears must doubly flow,
For ah,—the other's left!
