1. To meet the likes of you, the travelers hasten
And towards you the brave warriors challenge

2. Your light illuminates the darkness when
You guide the wayward travelers

3. And the caravan praises you as you deserve
While their rides and belongings praise you underneath them

4. You're the undisputed leader of knowledge
And your books about the misguided ones are momentous

5. It doesn't harm a land where you reside
If clouds conceal the rain from it

6. Through your care, sustained by shyness and drink
Are benefits covered with life and waterholes

7. And your pristine, impartial rule treats equally
Both friend and foe and enemy

8. When two opponents leave your presence, pleased
With your rule - the demander and claimant there

9. Each profusely thanking you
As if at your side both opponents have won

10. And my choice was to gain your proximity
So hopes can be realized and troubles resolved

11. While from the dwellings I was far away
And longing and love for you played a role

12. I yearned for you whenever a rider passed
And I was full of affection whenever a rider passed

13. So when God allowed me the nearness of your abode
It called me to restrain the attacking adversities

14. And an absence I had grown accustomed to battled me
Assailing me without respite and striking

15. So I bid farewell before fulfilling the right of your farewell
Oh how difficult the roads have been for me

16. And nothing prevented me except an enchanting departure
Answering the call of the passionate goodbyes

17. At night that was like my heart when denied your farewell
And rain like my spilling, pouring tears

18. If you ask me about time and its circumstances
I have wondrous things to say about blaming time
