1. I say to the singer who extols beauty
May God protect you, how you describe beauty

2. I passed by the gardens sleepy
Did you become delirious when you smelled the gazelle

3. You were inebriated by a glance that made me your love sick
O, my brother, alas, you have lost patience from you

4. You made things difficult when you could, and you know
The lightness of love, O happiness of mountains

5. How burning with passion I was
The flame of love, its fire kindled

6. An eye that knows no peace
Whose eyelids are moistened by pure water

7. It watches the trace of riders who marched
Measuring the earth after their burdens lightened

8. And days with loved ones passed
They were short and we made them long

9. Nights gave birth and separated us
By the command of our separation they became pregnant

10. Time obliges me to have patience
And this imposes on me the impossible

11. So I neither mentioned nor was afflicted with merchandise
With loved ones except tears that flowed

12. Oh my craving! I spent my life
Toil in love or disputes

13. I inscribed in the nights every rugged land
And did not begin separation without weeping

14. And friends I thought were comrades
Broke their covenant and committed treachery

15. And I thought I had found love in them
But it was all gossip and words

16. The ugliest thing the eye can see is a friend
Who prevaricates and then follows the shadows

17. How many ungrateful dogs in ignorance
Named right guidance misguidance

18. And in his claim wanted the Pleiades
He made the mountain ranges into a mirage

19. So protect yourself with the generous
And abandon the scum of people and fingers of men

20. And do not restrict your favors for hands
Are deposits in the court of God the Exalted

21. The Lord of Perfection sees good as religion
And hates the owner of a vile soul his perfection

22. How many mounted with treachery
When time bridled them

23. They rode happily but were tripped up by their passions
And the just made them fall and fail

24. Take the garb of humility and be truthful
And do not raise against God a banner

25. Leave the concerns of time for how it designed
Turbans and slippers so cunningly

26. And how the weaver threaded on silk
Mixing gold thread and sand

27. How many nobodies made great
Who tyrannized, rebelled, and were rabble

28. When the qualities of a person become base
His worth becomes negligible even if the crescent rose high

29. And he raises who is noble in origin and nature
Even if he attained no glory or wealth

30. Indeed, manners raise a person’s worth
So acquire character before wealth

31. And do not make the ropes of deceit your glory
For we sever deceit as ropes are cut

32. And build the pillar of glory with piety
For how much did piety carry burdens and unload packages

33. And do not care for the lies of a son of fornication
For you know the origin when you know qualities

34. You see above the pulpit the Lord of lineage
Who climbed with pretense and became tall

35. And in the judgment of deeds he sees a supplicant
So he did not thank him for what he missed out on

36. Time danced with evildoers
And made them bold and they uttered big words

37. When a crisis reaches its extent
Be aware for itsknots are unraveled

38. India taunts us for lack of wealth
And is ignorant of our ancestors' deeds

39. Did the Trustee hoard treasures of money?
And did the rubble fill travelers' saddles?

40. Did the virtuous elite hoard purity?
And did a clan inherit after him?

41. He rose above all creation in nature
And bestowed upon creatures openly

42. And his benefit to creation flowed
And he counted all people as dependents

43. So whoever mended veins to rapacity
And secured for himself a state

44. And whoever suckled the virgin milk
Knows his happiness is lasting so it became long

45. And he left the ephemeral and spends the night hoping
For nearness and attachment to the Creator

46. Praise be to God I have a noble lineage
Lofty, and to the Lofty it rose high

47. And I have nearness to Eternal Glory
Dear pride, exalted is He who does not decline

48. And in the two lineages I have noble forefathers
Who clothed the world in beauty with ambition

49. And the breath of my grandfather the Succor of the Sublime
Gave me his brilliance and majesty

50. So if I turn myself away from things
Through inheritance I expanded scope

51. And I like to follow the generous of my people
However the present circumstances change

52. And the worldly with discerning perspective
See its love as a mirage that gives fantasies

53. And whoever remembers departure, his heart shines
Seeing diversion from the world's vanities

54. And the best life is abandoning ephemera
And passing time in remembrance and supplication

55. It rages when the darkness falls around it
And your cheek is saturated with pouring tears

56. He who desired glory stands firm
And he who sought union pays the dowry
