1. I do not abandon love and reproaches of censurers
As long as protecting people is in its preservation

2. My heart flutters when love stirs it
So leave the one blaming me for being angry about love

3. They told sad poems to my hearing, for I am from
A people who treasure hearing sad poems

4. And look at the glances of whom I love and tell me about
The science of that gazelle or the glances of that one

5. I seek refuge in the cave from contradictory glances
Which I imagine are asleep while they are wakeful

6. With a smile smoothly flowing
As if it is the elocution of the shining religion

7. The owner of the house has given generously and proven himself
Until students have crowded around him or are awake

8. By God what a sublime eulogy you have attributed
It is the essence while the people's poems are worthless

9. Keep enemies away whose abundance overflows with them
As if they were enraged in their souls

10. You have mixed, O sea, your two seas, so that is
Freshwater while it is the elocution of jewels

11. His house is sanctified, for even Khalil is in it
Fascinated, and the researching prosodist angry

12. It said to the course of its poems and it did not wrong
Since you are not a burden, and burdens are vile

13. And mention of Ali increased its glory, so for it
Is firmness along with gentle speech for peers

14. And it spoke to me with an earnestness that made its hearer
Feel as if the erecting of hearing were inclining

15. I avoided for you the arduous words, so there is not in it
Anything arduous, neither snarling nor scowling

16. You continue dictating to me and filling sweetness of every word
With mentioning them, so the tongue of taste is smooth
