1. Stand at the same old ruins and call to the companions in darkness
Did they impart any knowledge or did they see peace at Salma's abode?

2. And walked in that sanctuary
I wish I knew after they left

3. Which meadows of sanctuary did they descend to
At the tents of Bani or did they incline?

4. Seeking the heart during residency
While it was not inclined to visit in the open plain

5. So their pasture was watered by rain
And the fragrant morning breeze blew

6. In gardens dotted with pearls
Scattered and well-arranged

7. Like my tears or my words
Whose silvery light is inflamed

8. In mounds whose color is gold
In it is the love of dew, beloved

9. Above a flower on it smiling
The tears of sorrow have lamented it

10. Since their dwellings appeared to me
And their homes were visible to the eye

11. They stirred my love in their cycle
Oh a heart smitten with passion thrown

12. Blind to anything besides those homes
Thus the directions of patience are dark

13. And the goals of estrangement painful
And those are predestined sustenances

14. They provoked the pain of affliction
And it is the insight of innocence to understand

15. How many times my heart swooned for them and by them
How many times they melted my passions and for them

16. How many times I kept my promise to them
Before the age of puberty and dreams

17. The day I took the vow in expiration
I am composing my rhyme

18. Without needing any company
My illness in love is my wellbeing

19. And my existence in passion is my non-existence
And my life in it is shedding my blood

20. Describing you is pure of any doubt
Oh most precious of form and resemblance

21. And a torment you are pleased with
In my mouth sweeter than melody

22. Oh companions of the living from the valley
I swear by the star when it descended

23. The healthy and the ill are not equal
So take off from yourself anything besides

24. The love of the Master of Arabs and non-Arabs
The best of all creations from the beginning

25. Chief of chiefs from Mudar
Succor of the people of the desert and towns

26. Possessor of the clear verses and chapters
The source of rulings and wisdom

27. The flag of guidance for the nations
A moon whose way and conduct are pure

28. The elect of the Creator and His choice
Superior to the people of dissolution and sanctuary

29. Better than whoever walks on feet
My eyes have not seen and will not see

30. The like of Taha among mortals
The best of those above the earth trace

31. Pure of morals and traits
The origin of all creation's bounty

32. He surpassed the seven layers
To the distance of two bow lengths he ascended

33. And providence made him privy
To the secret knowledge of the Tablet and Pen

34. Thus he became in knowledge like knowledge itself
He attained with God a gift

35. For the magnificence of grace befitting
O most honorable of people in rank

36. Return with benevolence and generosity
And make faith my seal
