1. My wife Husna, ease my worries
God has given you, daughter of nobles

2. I'm imprisoned, but that gives me more honor, so don't
Let your crying lead to my crying

3. Kiss me, for the noble were imprisoned like Joseph
Ask Zuleikha, no ask my gardens

4. In it, for it, and for her I was imprisoned, be patient with her
She is Tunisia, eye of the land and cure

5. Don't get angry, my wife, for I don't
Lean toward her like toward the Virgin

6. My love is noble, don't blame me for passion
For the blame in it is from my enemies

7. If you knew, you'd see me in bliss
If not for our separation, I wouldn't know my trials

8. So be patient like me, and I will return
To you in happiness, so give tidings of our meeting

9. Be comforting, our mother who lived for us
In the palm of Aisha, holding my reins of consent

10. And ask her to pray for my happiness
In this life and the next, for she is a treasure of prayer

11. I'm like the great one to her and Halima
And so is her sister through brotherhood

12. Oh aunt of my two daughters, Zina and Fa
Give me rest, Fatima, for their sake

13. I left my sister while she awaits my arrival
So entertain my virtuous sister

14. Oh mother of Munji and her beautiful sister
I strive for you and the supreme

15. If I'm gone, who can stop
Me from it? I'm not dead to the living

16. You have my brother after God and grandfather
Rather, all who walk on dust

17. Feed the boys and teach them my pride
Make them live my life and tell my news

18. It's not to be praised, my work, but
Joy I poured in a cup of praise

19. If I troubled you, fear not our separation
For I and you, it's from the enemies

20. God will do us justice and carry out His judgment
On us and others, most merciful of the merciful

21. I feared tenderness would make me weak, unwilling
To satisfy it in me, am I of the cowards?

22. Be with me near and far, for I
Love your chastity, and chastity is my armor

23. In you are all the virtues combined, no
Beauty resembles yours in them

24. Guard the child and give him the good news that
The day I'm released from prison, he'll see me

25. Watch over him for me, you watch over him
Since I was entrusted with his upbringing

26. I always strive for good, so all of us
Are a part of each other

27. This is your country, Hussein, and you're among
Its noblest sons

28. They took away by force of your family's rule
Lost in eras, stumbling of the blind

29. Or didn't you know it's you who
Embraced me - how good is my reward!

30. Your influence spread in government, its matter
Decreed without knowledge of proceedings

31. Does your throne make you cry twice for it and me -
Strangely, from you my joy and my agony

32. Do you think your ancestral throne should
Be under the hammers of the unjust?

33. In your name, my ally, wife, I called on supporters
To help, not just my post, but yours too, daughter of nobles

34. In your name, General, I present
This book, daughter of the great

35. In your name, I'm an activist in this country
For it and you, and I have great hope

36. In your name, I raise my voice to its
Free ones, complaining of oppressors

37. In your name, I support rights and the call
For constitution in the Green Land

38. In your name, I stood and declared openly
With the group of supporters

39. They are the free, masters of refusal
Of us and them, scourge of enemies

40. The people of justice cannot have an unjust ruler
The happy live next to the miserable

41. The opponent said a saying that made
My soul laugh mockingly against my will:

42. "The treaty bound the rulers to the
Release of power, and God is faithful"

43. Justice annuls it, and it's not possible
To annul treaties while they're on guard

44. Oh how strange, how could the fair-minded
Say this without any shame

45. Pages of the country's history are proofs
Against the claims of opponents

46. The Emir Muhammad gave his minister
My grandfather the people's rights, no doubt

47. That law he pledged before God
With the ministers and scholars

48. They drafted its articles, and in those
Councils, my grandfather was the first of leaders

49. My grandfather and the husband of his cousin
The Bey of the country, both were martyrs

50. But it was stalled, and time opposed
And God knows the cause of illnesses

51. And they, with the great states, sent
Envoys there to uphold the right

52. Why don't they today look upon us
With an eye of error?

53. And the Bey himself, supporter of his people
Said, to please them is to please me

54. The Marshall, his father fulfilled his law
And the delegation witnessed the giving

55. Everyone knows the secret of their contentment
When justice is the power of the weak

56. Happy are they, and their hearts
Are to us as solid rock

57. They desire in selfishness only that
I see blindness along with the seeing

58. The voice of truth is annoying, but
The ear of the General leans toward listening

59. He listens to the roar of consciences, though
The nation was mute

60. Opening his eyes, he saw the truth
With no doubt or imagining of enemies

61. And so whoever loves virtues wears
Their cloak and walks with the virtuous

62. And saw before him in the country three
Wrangling the wrangling of foes

63. This one selfish, that one a traitor
And the third pushed to rabble rouse

64. He sways between them, defending his right
Like a ship between still air and wind

65. And God is his supporter, your Lord says
The earth is Mine and the sky is Mine

66. They shook it with their wars, so it shook
I made it move, not the objects

67. This is a tremor, and it's one body
So motion relates to its parts
