1. Let him cry for the loss of his friends,
And the departure of his loved ones and companions.

2. His neighbors deserted his homes,
So he kept crying for the loss of his neighbors.

3. His branches have gathered for him ruin,
So he came to be called the slain of his branches.

4. His eyelids cried blood,
And his body melted in his embrace.

5. He has enchanted with his glances and his eyelashes,
And every eye of his has hooks.

6. He lined up his cheeks on acacia wood,
Bearing roses upon it scattering their seeds.

7. My wretchedness did not fall in love with him
Behind his promises and estrangement.

8. His words blended his eloquence,
So Iblis became one of his helpers.

9. A cunning magician who confuses from
Under his turban, intoxicated.

10. His weight with him is in fellowship,
And fearful of him, the heaviness of his weights.

11. It is his habit to estrange his lovers, and he does not
Give the intimacy of a lover his regard.

12. When he walks with the beauty of his conversation,
And sways his lean body in his gown.

13. His garments said to his lover
A clear saying in the beauty of its expression.

14. Seek refuge in God, the Quran and whatever
Lies, O chest, and the Most Merciful.

15. When he bends over and glides to bring together
What is between fennel and cotton.

16. The call of passion surrendered him,
So the tears concealed the denial of concealment.

17. I asked him for a kiss, but he refused
And went astray in his arrogance and aggression.

18. Then he turned away angrily out of resentment
Biting his thumb with his teeth.

19. And he said to me, "Oh you weak one, woe to you
For your audacity, tell me, oh wretched of his brothers."

20. I said to him, "Oh you who hurts me, your face has
Made my heart sick with the beauty of its colors.

21. Your face is like the moon that illuminated for us
From under black hair the sides of his mouth."

22. "And you, ask the days about me, and find
Upon me the ugliness of its creation as a blessing."

23. I came to him, then I said this is
A secret that exposed me to abandonment."

24. Then I was fair and belonged to
Al-‘Abbas in his group and his young men.

25. And I spoke about Khalid and his defect
A saying that meets with the beauty of his perfection.

26. So bow like this to me, it is said in a time
That stretched my estrangement with prolonged estrangement.

27. I am the young man, the most loyal, who submitted
To him, and the cheeks of his peers humbled themselves.

28. The people of prisons acknowledged, confident
In his virtue in all countries.

29. Delicate, who had enough of his punishment
In past times of old eras.

30. And al-Bazirji, he knows him,
And blamed his devil for his devil.

31. Frowning, whose heart shakes
From fear of his afflictions, the jailer’s heart.

32. From a thousand coins and a thousand thousand sticks
If counted in the least of his registers.

33. His stops, and the governors ask him
More steadfast than Khalid and his master.

34. When he saw the lion, he came to him hastily
Without fear of the roar of his ears.

35. Al-Qaramiti depicted his image
Out of his fear on all his walls.

36. An ingenious poet, his ambitions
Were tied to Bahram and Kayan.

37. The insight of what is in the book, his poetry
And his compilation.

38. If you befriend him and fulfill
The happiness that has no sorrows.

39. So he said, "My friend, his origin,
When my heart rejoices, settles his open country."

40. "And I spend the eggs in their proper places
I became for him the least of his boys."

41. "Argue with me, and the one I hope
For his forgiveness tomorrow and his pardon."

42. Love does not pity after his aloofness
Except for the steps of a wise merchant.
