1. A tender heart and a difficult separation
How much tears have you shed, O my tears

2. I ransom my defeated heart to the flirt
The state of my two cheeks is like a game

3. Haifa, I can't win her without a union
Except when sleep was intentional for me

4. My limbs in the dress of sickness for her
And my rendezvous in old age is still in embers

5. Her two cheeks tried to kiss mine
She said, "Hold them without love"

6. I said and my heart is burning with passion
"I kiss my heart," she said, "here is the passion"

7. She smiled and I perceived from my thirst
What a pleasant drink her mouth is

8. What a bite that left behind
A tear drop that turned to harm

9. I blamed her, so I said, "From intimacy
Do not make your time one of reproach"

10. Our straight love supports more than
An easy route so do not support it on a cliff

11. She said, "Take it as torment to your senses"
I said, "This is a sweet torment"

12. I said, "Praising the eminent is sweeter than
Flirting," and I asked for her rank

13. The man of knowledge and virtue with his youth
Has no joy in other than those two

14. Serenity suits him, shining on
The sides of his gaze like an alert fawn

15. Thanks and reward are of his goods
So how much profit he has over his profit

16. While he fulfills the rights of honor
He spends tomorrow closer to his Lord

17. The door of his blessings in permissibility
Is easy, and the door of adversity is difficult

18. How much his comfort expanded from hope
And his self felt relief from anguish

19. How much his cheerfulness showed generosity
And his mention led us to desire

20. The desirous were sincere in their love of him
And the inclined were balanced with awe

21. The best of Damascus is a young man
Who stood up for good with angry determination

22. A folk whose origin and branches were pure
And the clouds and the soil

23. Supporters of the religion of Islam, disciples
Of the best of people, the people of shelter and companionship

24. Do you not see in Damascus their son
Whose affairs have taken him by storms

25. Between her knowns and her unknowns
Prohibition and order that satisfies his Lord

26. Blessed is Ka'b that Damascus rejoices in him
Just as his people rejoiced in Kaaba

27. O guardian of the authority that testified
To be above its position in rank

28. Do well with it, with a position whose guarantee
Is the one who, after God, is most like it

29. The testimony of the obligation in his leadership
Is complete and the testimony of authority has increased

30. Its glory was congratulated and the likes of you
Congratulations come from the summits of the plateau

31. And you deserve more than anyone else
To talk about the good in it and pull towards it

32. The authority came to you, made with meanings
That made their sweetness like fresh dates

33. That book asks for a prize
I am among those hoping for it

34. I loved it despite the lightness of its writing
So accept my request and count it as books

35. And live allowing every demand
Knowledge and generosity constantly of noble origin

36. Time has not preceded over your time
Except for barriers, my master
