1. O lightnings upon my Lord stunning
What eggs have you sheathed between my eyelids

2. You slaughtered your blades, so this is why
Blood from my tears flowed from my yearning

3. You described the bloom of the lips until
The lips laughed with tears, smiles of the eyes

4. Oh the lips and mouth sweet have become
From them the mind between Meem and Seen

5. And cooing no longer do I meet passion in
With sufficient tears and sorrow waiting

6. No recklessness of mine in his love wise
Nor counselors’ view with me honest

7. And homes of loved ones I dwell
Their echoes from their distance like moaning

8. I studied yet they reveal naught
Except sorrow provoking the grieving heart

9. Or I see in their signs a mouth’s light
Whenever its shape strays it guides me

10. An institute where long I delighted and lived
A refuge, hands not stinted

11. With branches from its land like kindling
And kindling from its people like branches

12. And gardens of eternity it opens
Then cheeks that shade like the Zarfeen

13. I was in it enriching people with
Youth and play and morn and madness

14. Between rests of goblets brim-filled
And lyrics of songs melodious

15. That was a life passed cherished so no wonder
For an eye that weeps with supplied water

16. And faces like gold coins which
Time had treated with spending oblivion

17. It pelted me with Job’s harm from it
Every cheek by its side of the Noon

18. Then youth departed and he who did youth
And my sorrows as you know my sorrows

19. I cannot entertain those beauties until
The dew is entertained, pride of the faith

20. Where intentions meet, ascent of praise, beloved descent
Rain of the patron, anger of the matched

21. A sea of jurisprudence and if you wish a sea’s son
In types of rhetoric and clarification

22. And orator who suffices orations with diction
That charms rocks with softening

23. A poet that papers pulpits smoothly
So odes are delicious above branches

24. And imam of the shrine knowledge witnesses
He gained to be imam of the arts

25. And lofty he matched the crescent rising
And brightness with his resolve the manifest

26. Bracelets of the Pleiades from him to
When they surrendered it and to his forehead bent

27. Eulogy is lost that guides to other than his heights
Wasteland of virgin lands in hands of the flawed

28. His palms acted in every hardship
Like the effect of annexation in nunation

29. Every day a juristic ruling and rulings
Saving the ignorant and poor

30. I swear by the dawn with him of humanity
And the night a trustee secure

31. That composing praise is duty upon us
Every day for his purpose habitual

32. People likened his generosity to valleys
Like confusing the crescent with Aldaroon

33. Thus the aspirant boasts proudly
Not beauty of faces like adornment

34. Honor in humility and enduring
In capability and awe in tranquility

35. Merit took refuge from his heights to
A towering summit, lofty of levels, steadfast

36. And he tended early on in a lair
Watered by gentle rain in torrents

37. Thus in generosity he emulated Habal rain
And emulated in might a lion of the lair

38. In him is magic that shows us doubts
What magic as I have seen evident

39. And protected each commander bringing aims
For his singing, no swindling

40. Of people who led and built glories
With resolve with the maker and gentleness

41. Like eggs of gazelles, brilliance in
Pages, sharpness in texts

42. They owned the flag of rhetoric and untied
The neck of time with words precious

43. O scholar who fortified faith with
Pages of books in fortresses

44. God ordered that you lead and your signet ring shine
When the revered upon each time

45. So remain lofty of station, generous of gifts
Preceding glory, ever enabled

46. And unveil the prime of my praise, you need no
Adorner from describer to ornament

47. You are most deserving O sea of knowledge and righteousness
Every time the like of this Nun

48. Your palms tread what people deemed formidable
Of generosity and height in gloom

49. All people stem from water yet
You are of the pure and they of the turbid
