1. The branch wavers between softness and roughness
And the gazelle exposes itself after coyness and kindness

2. Sing! There is no longer a sight of his beauty among people
Empty of passion he importunes me for my fervor

3. Oh how excellent is the full moon having gained perfection
And increased in the hearts of lovers with burdens

4. A gazelle of the sand yet inattentive
And a flexing branch yet unbending

5. My body complains of sickness to its eyelids
So I wonder at it complaining to eyelids about eyelids

6. When will he fulfill a promise of communication
While prohibition looks from a hidden face at me

7. In the cheek a hint and in the kindness of morning familiarity
And the implement of prohibition between hinting and familiarity

8. Why did it counter with nothing but the sorcery of words it received
Thus there was in the aim of Moses a preventing evasion

9. An indicating king whose opinion emerged prescribing
With fertility the whiteness of dawn blankets the saddlebags

10. He surpassed the desert in justice and wisdom
Thus he is not turned from the highest ranks

11. A nature in requiring praise arising
Upon dew, happiness, glory, and honor

12. And the resolve that ensured the wellbeing of Islam
A resolution characterized by truth, balanced

13. Oh glance roving among the elite appraising
And you have found the meanings of virtue manifest

14. So if you can describe them, then describe
The abode of praise upon the pole in whom the minds converged

15. With no differing sayings
Do not seek a station of superiority after his station

16. Whoever settles in Tayba has no need for Najaf
From a group of eminent ones whose glory

17. The departed ancestors enjoin upon those to come
The Banu Khakan erected the sublimities and came together

18. In one with the meanings of the house enveloped
His resolve advanced him over the elite

19. Like beginning in the name of Allah in scripture
Sufficient for armies with warring strategies

20. That nearly thunder from them the souls of the brave
No sin with one collapsed if you support

21. Him from both flanks, and no fainthearted heart
In his palm a pen like an upright sword

22. Yet for the learned it is like a target
Flowing with the palm of Suhaili the Sublime thus

23. How many glories in important matters for him refined
Contemplate his gifts and review his virtues

24. For no palm gathers its yield like a picking palm
And smell with your eye in the world his beauties

25. When you enter and leave off from Abi Dulaf
They said, “Is it in his force or his leniency?”

26. I said, “In this despite the envious and in this”
Oh you who bore at his doors blessings

27. With no fault in them except they weighed down my shoulder
Be felicitous with the auspicious position its bird

28. And draw near to your hand oh Moses and do not fear
And forgive the crime of days for which I apologized

29. And give glad tidings of fortune reconciled with days
God knows what you find him to be

30. And the light of my fortune from my cheer and my sorrow
For me in your honor an unfailing tower

31. When I seek refuge and an undimmed star
For in your patronage my affirmation when the state

32. Of a person differs, and to your heights the bend in my road
I swore you have no peer so I did not

33. Reconsider my thought nor make exception in my oath
