Tablet of the Holy Mariner — Paragraph 57

Source (Arabic)

فلمّا شهدن حالها وعلمن حرفا من قصص الغلام عررن رؤوسهنّ وشققن ثيابهنّ ولطمن على وجوههنّ وبدّلنّ عيشهنّ وبكين بعيونهنّ وضربن بأيديهنّ على خدودهنّ وهذا من مصائب الخفي الأخفى فسبحان ربّنا العليّ الأعلى.

Translation

And as they beheld her state and comprehended a word of the tale told by the Youth, they bared their heads, rent their garments asunder, beat upon their faces, forgot their joy, shed tears and smote with their hands upon their cheeks, and this is verily one of the mysterious grievous afflictions – Glorified be our Lord, the Most High!
