1. I sighed when the trysts reminded me
Of the days of youth and a life of bliss spread,

2. And a lover whose only fault was her coldness,
And whose only flaw was her frigid mouth.

3. With the gazelles of my poetry in the beautiful array of her qualities,
And praising the ruler of Syria, the poems flowed.

4. A ruler who fulfilled the rights of glorious deeds, excellent is he,
Awe-inspiring and generous, embracing righteousness, ascetic.

5. He has a pen in the niche of the degree of his Lordship,
Victorious in all purposes, glorious.

6. O noble son of the noble, whenever he is affiliated
Your feast brings you joy, renewed for prosperity.

7. Thus a thousand feasts, your name adorns it,
And congratulations to the world that you are eternal.
