1. My heart is immersed in love for you
And the delight of my eyes is in seeing you

2. My debts to you have no end
I pay them but the promises are never fulfilled

3. I am a spring of connection, denied of drinking
My lifetime has passed barred

4. O my reproacher in love and passion cannot
Be curbed by blame or discouragement

5. Your rejection has burned me, while in love
The doors of my consolation are closed

6. An untamed camel takes away my reins
Its forelocks knotted like the plaited ropes

7. Your love has whitened my heart
With black braids of your hair

8. And of the wonders of love is that it
Seeks to kill me though itself lives

9. And a night when my companion was with me
And my glances chained to the stars

10. Your glances made me drink cups
That even grapes could not yield

11. Until the darkness cleared, and the drink
Of grapes ripened on the vine glowed

12. And the groves roared for it
On the branches of the grove birds chirped

13. It was stirred by no longing, nor did
Any feast of neighbors return its memory

14. He cried but knew no tears, while in
My cheek tears had carved a channel

15. He feels no passion like mine, nor is his
Heart immersed in love like mine

16. I complained of passion, while he is
Singing playfully and cheerfully

17. By God, the promise of union, if only
It lasted and the days of love were festivals

18. Alas no, the promise of the boy does not hold
And days of union are not returned

19. My lifetime plots against me while the free
Man is the plotter

20. His gift is bountiful, so why is he
Measured and limited towards me?

21. As if he swore no man of merit
Would be seen honored amongst people

22. I do not see the days as condemned
When Joseph the Sultan is praised

23. The just king in his rule
He is counted among the angels

24. Why should we fear the injustice of our time
In his era when injustice is absent?

25. What grieves my hopes of injustice
When his abundant sea is filled?

26. In His land God's shade emerged
It extends over the horizons

27. The sword of the Commander of the Faithful whose
Banner is tied with victory

28. He owns the world so in his hand
Is the succession, delegated to him

29. A delegation during his comfort which
Is a covenant from God and ordainment

30. His actions nearly worshipped could be
If there was a worshipped one in the world

31. None aspire to his rank, so apart
From him none are envied amongst men

32. His abode is vast for visitors
If he travels, the deserts confine him

33. His neighbor in residences is peaceful
And well-mannered towards his neighbor

34. If his palm touched the lute
It would bloom in his comfort

35. When dawn clears the killer nights
With its shooting star, Arcturus

36. His shade in peace is soft
And his rock in war firm

37. He follows what his ancestors
Established, the praised Homs knights

38. They carry spears in battles
For him the black lions of the forests

39. Intercede for him to the gazelles
Not to the cheeks of the white virgins

40. His weapon for fear is the sword
Brown blades and mighty heroes

41. The textures of weaving ordained
By David in ordering

42. The edges of sharpening clearly arranged
While their relatives are bursting flames

43. When their doom approached them
The headbands of the Turks, the thunderers

44. All of them retreated humiliated
While dogs are shunned

45. So their torn corpses in the morning
Feed the eagles and hunters

46. Their armies defeated by fear
And their crops harvested by the sword

47. The jihad of one whose day
Was never devoid of the struggle for God’s religion

48. And whom the centuries left of them
In prison, shackled and chained

49. So receive tidings of imminent victory, its day
Witnessed in the enemies

50. And listen, Virgin of the Supreme House
To the like of it glory is immersed

51. Gifts perish, but for its eulogized one
Reconstruction and eternity amongst people

52. It makes the clothes of nights, and in
Reminding of it, renewal

53. Like aloes, a taste in the flavor of foes
And honey in the mouths of nobles

54. It was not contaminated by asking, nor
Did greed or hesitation create it

55. The two learned are pleased with reciting it
And in you is some of the words of God’s oneness

56. Stallions, which were not cheapened
Nor worn out like an overused camel

57. If fortune missed me, it did not miss
Favor and excellence from them

58. I recited it in you, to the glorious one
Through the like of it, lineages are transmitted

59. A young man whom goodness became innate
And benevolence inborn in man

60. Your prosperity appears on his face
While the fortunate man is fortunate

61. Though from him I learned tenacity
No wood hardened in the non-Arabs like his

62. He took up the matter learned, and indeed
The mighty champions took it up

63. He has loyalty planted from early on
By your fathers, O hunters

64. His feet were created loving you
He has manners and traits

65. The kingdom has in their management a pillar
Sufficient, and for the state, foundation
