Original content

بعد چل روز کز نشاط و سرور
حال بگذشتشان بدین دستور

داد اجازت پدر که ریا را
ماه شهر و غزال صحرا را

به عروسی سوی مدینه برند
وز غریبی ره وطن سپرند

بهر وی خوش عماریی پرداخت
برگ گل را ز غنچه محمل ساخت

سی شتر از نفایس و اجناس
جمله نادر به چشم جنس شناس

با دو صد عز و حشمت و جاهش
کرد سوی مدینه همراهش

هر دو با هم عیینه و ریا
شاد و خرم شدند ره پیما

معتمر با جماعت انصار
نیز بر کار خویش شکرگزار

که دو عاشق به هم رسانیدند
دل و جانشان ز غم رهانیدند

همه غافل از آنکه آخر کار
بر چه خواهد گرفت کار قرار

ماند تا با مدینه یک فرسنگ
جمعی از رهزنان بی فرهنگ

بر میان تیغ و در بغل نیزه
وز کمر کرده خنجر آویزه

همه خونین لباس و دزد شعار
همه تیغ آزمای و نیزه گذار

تنگ چشمان قحط سالی جوع
صیدشان ضب شکارشان یربوع

عیش شیرینشان ز دوغ ترش
فارغان از فروغ دانش و هش

همچو گرگان طعمه ناخورده
بر بره و میش حمله آورده

غافل از گوشه ای کمین کردند
رو در آن قوم پاکدین کردند

چون عیینه هجوم ایشان دید
غیرت عاشقی در او جنبید

شد چو شیران در آن مصاف دلیر
گاه با نیزه گاه با شمشیر

چند تن را به سینه چاک افکند
چون سگانشان به خون و خاک افکند

آخر از زخم تیغ صاعقه بار
داد آن قوم را چو دیو فرار

لیک نامقبلی ز کین داری
ضربتی زد به سینه اش کاری

قفس آسا به تن فتادش چاک
مرغ او کرد رو به عالم پاک

دوستان در خروش و گریه چو میغ
که برفت از جهان عیینه دریغ

گوش ریا چو آن خروش شنید
موکنان بر سر عیینه دوید

دید نقش زمین نگاری را
غرق خون نازنین شکاری را

گشته از چشمه سار سینه تنگ
خلعت سروش ارغوانی رنگ

دست سیمین خضاب ازان خون کرد
چهره گلگونه جامه گلگون کرد

چهره بر خون و خاک می مالید
وز دل دردناک می نالید

کای عیینه تو را چه حال افتاد
کآفتاب تو را زوال افتاد

سیرم از عمر بی لقای تو من
کاشکی بودمی به جای تو من

عقل بر عشق من زند خنده
که بمیری تو زار و من زنده

این بگفت و ز جان برآورد آه
رفت با آه جان او همراه

زندگی بی وی از وفا نشمرد
روی بر روی او نهاد و بمرد

ترک هجرانسرای فانی کرد
روی در وصل جاودانی کرد

دوستان از ره وفاداری
برگرفتند نوحه و زاری

چون کند طوطی از قفس پرواز
به خروش و فغان نیاید باز

عاقبت لب ز نوحه دربستند
بهر تجهیزشان کمر بستند

دیده از غم پر آب و سینه کباب
پاک شستندشان به مشک و گلاب

از حریر و کتان کفن کردند
در یکی قبرشان وطن کردند

در ته خاک غرق خونابه
تا قیامت شدند همخوابه

English translation

After forty days, which in joy and delight Their state passed in this manner, The father gave permission for Raya, The moon of the city and the gazelle of the wilderness, To be taken as a bride to Medina, And to leave their exile and journey back to their homeland. He prepared a beautiful palanquin for her, Making a carriage for the rosebud from rose petals. Thirty camels laden with precious goods and valuables, All rare in the eyes of a connoisseur, With two hundred honors, dignity, and grandeur, He sent along with her towards Medina. Both together, Uyaynah and Raya, Happy and joyful, set out on the road. Mu'tamar, along with the group of Ansar, Was also grateful for his deed, That they had brought the two lovers together, And freed their hearts and souls from grief. All were unaware of how, in the end, Their fate would be decided. When only one parasang remained to Medina, A group of uncultured highwaymen, Swords at their waists and spears in their arms, And daggers hanging from their belts, All in blood-soaked garments and thieving ways, All sword-testing and spear-throwing, Narrow-eyed from years of famine and hunger, Their prey the desert lizard, their hunt the jerboa, Their sweet life made of sour buttermilk, Devoid of the light of knowledge and intellect, Like hungry wolves that have tasted no food, Attacking lambs and ewes, They ambushed silently from a corner, And turned upon that pure-faith group. When Uyaynah saw their assault, The zeal of love stirred within him. He became bold like lions in that battlefield, Sometimes with the spear, sometimes with the sword. He split open the chests of several of them, And cast them like dogs into blood and dust. Finally, with the wound of his lightning-like sword, He made that demon-like band flee. But an unfortunate, malice-bearing foe Struck a fatal blow to his chest. A cage-like tear fell upon his body, And his bird (soul) departed to the pure realm. Friends cried out and wept like clouds, Lamenting, 'Alas, Uyaynah has departed from this world!' When Raya's ear heard that cry, She ran to Uyaynah, tearing her hair. She saw her beloved fallen on the ground, The lovely prey drowned in blood. From the spring of his narrow chest, His cypress-like stature's robe had turned purple-red. She dyed her silver hand with that blood, Made her face rosy and her garment red. She rubbed her face on the blood and dust, And wailed from her painful heart: 'O Uyaynah! What state has befallen you, That your sun has met its decline? I am weary of life without your presence, Would that I had been in your place! Reason laughs at my love, That you should die in misery and I remain alive.' Saying this, she drew a sigh from her soul, And her soul departed along with that sigh. She did not count life without him as loyalty; She laid her face upon his face and died. She left this fleeting abode of separation, And turned towards eternal union. The friends, out of loyalty, Began to wail and lament. When the parrot flies from the cage, It does not return despite cries and clamor. At last, they closed their lips from lamenting, And girded their loins to prepare them for burial. With eyes filled with tears of grief and chests burning, They washed them clean with musk and rosewater. They shrouded them in silk and linen, And made their home in a single grave. Beneath the earth, drowned in tears of blood, They became bedfellows until the Resurrection.
