1. My cheeks are filled with joy, radiant
When will the promises of our union be fulfilled?

2. I confide in you, though my lover reproaches me
He saw you with loving eyes like mine

3. So his heart fluttered like my fluttering heart
And passion ruled over both our hearts

4. For a love like yours every soul inclines
And every gazing eye overflows with tears

5. I was firm, so grief is not too heavy for me
Nor are my tears beyond counting

6. Nor can I pretend to ignore a fate
That threw my lonely heart between two separations

7. My beloved left, and then my youth left
What life can be lived after this?

8. They both abandoned me against my will, so I let loose
The tale of my yearning for both separations

9. With my soul's perfume, my sighing breath
My slender waist and beautiful eyes

10. He shakes refined from his cloak
And pulls at my tender eyelids

11. He has two moles in a gold cheek
For which hearts are sold for two seeds

12. And around his soft conversation are maidens
Like patterns embroidered on smooth cheeks

13. I remain in shade when I look upon his cheeks
Pure as carving and streaked with veins

14. What a wonderfully unique branch is he
With both heavens in his cheeks

15. When the smile of my beloved one shines
On the sweet cup passed between us

16. I suffered from his watering places but
The dew of al-Mansur is the sweetest spring

17. The dew of a king whose rule has a cheek
He found justice between both witnesses

18. He extends with two arms to high ambitions
And strives in grants with both hands

19. Full of effort for glory and honor
Little complaining of boredom and where

20. It's as if his love for giving
Asks him for loans, not debts

21. When his cheeks shine with good news
Seek protection from the Lord of the two dawns

22. And if he bears arms one day for war
Say of the fierce lion, renderer of limbs

23. The sword flashes wondrous in his right hand
And he smiles with good news, grinders of molars

24. Though many gently dissuaded him from war
He returned refined of character, soft

25. None can match, in eulogizing his eminent aid
The weight of one carat in recounting his virtues

26. His eulogizer cries out loud
And sees the treasures of his eyes

27. Gathering with praise and reward, the world
And hereafter, pleasing both abodes

28. While youth continues to rise
And the branch of his kingdom thrives, cloaked

29. Eulogies for him make Success bow down
And how can one adorned be matched to one disgraced?

30. So do not pursue the defects of the unjust
And leave us from the foolishness of the shepherd

31. Muhammad instituted the ways of merit
Erasing what was of doubt and blemish

32. And matched good nature with good nurture
Not content with just one goodness

33. Thus may he remain on the horizon of glories
And his father in the abode of the two burials

34. I fashion eulogies for him none fashioned
For the Sword of the Exalted, son of Hussein

35. And unleash for him words that transcend
The words that flatter even the beneficent
