1. They said wake up and replace ignorance with wisdom
Who can restore my youth in that paradise?

2. If I wake up reluctantly, they already know
With what longing for the world I open my hands

3. Fate did not intend to reform me, and I have a likeness
That disappears from the branch like the leaves of a vine

4. Time has folded nights I enjoyed
I glanced at them with pleased eyes and they did not last

5. May God destroy the cycles of years, how many
Were mixed with poison instead of sweet honey

6. Old age did not outline its inscription on my cheeks
Except pleasures moved from my eternity

7. The guest of dignity did us a favor
With the education of a nation and of an epoch

8. Brown of line, its merit does not appear
Without light blue like a burning torch

9. Life has daughters from its experiences for me
More deserving and suitable for me than its beads

10. The free looks down on all except the merit of his morals
Even if he shifts between misery and distress

11. Wealth is not in a hand full of pride
But in the abundance of determination and patience

12. Or in hoping for the son of Ibn Abbad, hands of kings
Abandoned grants and chains

13. People took precautions against what’s in their palms
And sometimes they breath stinginess over knots

14. The knot sees nothing but what's in its pouch
And what his hands contain, nothing is knotted

15. The rest of kindness in a world that was suckled
And God's mercy in his sullen authority

16. He who gathers thoughts does not incline his obstinacy
Towards cushions of opinions that scattered

17. When the people's dreams diminished and restricted them
The vigilant strive towards them slowly

18. It is enough for the supported among enemies that he has
An eye from God that does not sleep from observing

19. It faces continuous good deeds, and its sign
Is that the coating of pearl is evident through it

20. Nothing passes mightier than the lions of war
Cubs follow them with abundant fur

21. It pulls the cover of valor from the tree of glory
As it did not fit the determination of the lion

22. You raced time in the hippodrome of its milking
Evenly to the furthest extent of time

23. But I bid farewell to it by foot, and it witnessed
O land of Meyya for the sublime, thus the pillar

24. The tribe of Lakhmi son of Ya'rub is more deserving to attribute
The glory of Al-Mu'tasim amongst you all to depend and lean on

25. You are all and you are the individual, they knew
A secret that was not in the one of number

26. O most refined people in manners, because of what you have
Of beauty of face that speaks to me and merit of hand

27. Where do I have a foot preceding in merit
If my nature in your valley did not want

28. This weak one related to the noble
Bare of skin from roughness and foam

29. I sent it in the sky of glory flying
Without effort, and in it is the pleasure of eternity

30. It keeps the melody awake forever from where it intoxicates it
And hears the voice of the singing nightingale

31. If Luqman was given her age for you, he would not
Betray her like the one who betrayed Lubad

32. Her nature and yours is the pure gold she was minted from
So she surrendered it in a refined palm
