Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCEFGHG| Farewell farewell to my mother's own daughter | A |
| The child that she wet nursed is lapp'd in the wave | B |
| The Mussulman coming to fish in this water | A |
| Adds a tear to the flood that weeps over her grave | B |
| - | |
| This sack is her coffin this water's her bier | C |
| This grayish bath cloak is her funeral pall | D |
| And stranger O stranger this song that you hear | C |
| Is her epitaph elegy dirges and all | E |
| Farewell farewell to the child of Al Hassan | F |
| My mother's own daughter the last of her race | G |
| She's a corpse the poor body and lies in this basin | H |
| And sleeps in the water that washes her face | G |
