1. They have prevented me from the imagination that flows
So there is no union except what is imagined in thought

2. O you who have power over preventing the eyelids from seeing
Have you not the power to prevent the heart from remembering?

3. I spend the night while the places of farewell circle around me
And the sea of tears with the specter is inaccessible to cross

4. And the night has pitched the stars as tents
And the hand of separation has gestured my eyelids to them

5. And it has left betrayal on my cheeks from weeping
The burning of the cheeks of the beauties with betrayal

6. In the morning she became dark-skinned while the night was between us
So what did we get from her dark-skinned faces in the night?

7. I did not forget her on the day of departure when
She bid farewell with a smile behind the veil

8. While my heart goes with the Yemeni caravan
Having met in front of the enemies in the barren land

9. I say while my companions bid me farewell
And a teardrop that I held back is in my throat

10. Pour for me cups of wine to drink
So that the horses may walk during my intoxication and I know not

11. For I have sorrows, if they sense your separation
Then they have left a sea for you by the shore

12. O our loved ones, you were excused for the intention
But is there an excuse for the ghosts at night?

13. And why has my sky darkened since you left?
Has it not learned the speed of my moon?

14. And why has the eastern wind grown heavy since you traveled?
It used to have the softness of musk in its waving

15. You traveled, so you brought my old age closer
With worries, and took my evening away from dawn

16. So between the whiteness of my cheek is the gleam of lightning
And between the whiteness of my night is the promise of the resurrection

17. Is there a scout assigned to the nights
To dispel heavy sleep from the mid-afternoon?

18. To take, since you left, my nights, severing
Their braids, which have not belonged to my life

19. So which young man has remedied my complaint at dawn
I will reward what pleases him with gratitude

20. With a king among the Hashimites in Damascus
Whose face is brilliant, whose glance is noble, taken as a pledge

21. He is awe-inspiring in the council, hoped for in intimacy
So may he be brought good fortune and victory

22. The Hashimites point to him with their palms
Like the hands of onlookers pointing to the moon

23. And they take refuge in him if a disaster befalls
Like the wing of a bird takes refuge in its nest at night

24. He supports them between opinion and sword
As the son of Ghabya escorted the leopard with victory

25. The spears, while they are thick, nearly
Return by his palms to being green sticks

26. And he gives free rein to lightning among the clouds
When he brandishes the curved swords with might

27. None with forked tongues has rebelled without his flames
With eyes like two embers flung from burning coal

28. Like his kindling underneath the caliphate, glancing
Expressing an opinion matching the sword with victory

29. And who is like the one with two prides - pride in himself
And pride in those who have preserved for him the epitome of pride

30. You have inherited the noble traits from your grandfather Abbas
So that Abbas appears noble from his grandfather Amr

31. A young man whom the love of glory is the youth of his face
So adorn him in white in his youthful days

32. Thus this night is illuminated by the moon alone
But it is a moon among brilliant stars

33. Kings who have risen to supremacy, and imams
Of resolve in their times, and those in authority

34. The nights appeared continuous in their reign
As the string appears through the pearls

35. None were seen like Abbas and Hashim
Similar in glory among the kings of the Arabs

36. This one whose palm spares the rain
And that one who comes to life with the rain

37. May the system of your two noble presences from the people
Be ransomed by the palms of men that do not tremble or languish

38. And the adornment of nobles is nothing but deeds
And what adornment for the noble except influence?

39. O pinnacle of eloquence, passion has inclined
To you in love, so be elated for an unmarried maiden

40. For she will not accept but your nobility as her spouse
And she seeks no concern but care as her dowry

41. And where do you see a suitable noble person in the world
If she matches you in love instead of the daughter of thought?

42. But the face of your highness appeared radiant
So today no beauty remains in her tent

43. And I have not presented praise to the world, nor do I see
My loyalty to you as anything but provision for my Hereafter

44. How often have I been generous with my dear soul for you
Like the generosity of my brother benevolence to the delegation abundantly

45. And I will not silence the envious except with a glance
From the supreme Imamate stance in my matter

46. So unite me through it, O son of the most generous
For you are none but the compassionate one from that breast

47. And live nobly for the religion - no nobleman has weakened
And blood - as long as the meadow flows from plentiful rain

48. And take for the right hand of the state his palm that forgives
The secrets of meanings composed from the essence of poetry

49. To you every noble person concludes, like
The mouths of valleys flow to the sea

50. O you who grant nobility to the noble for the people
And quench the gnostic with gnosis for the free

51. When a person learns the chronicles of those passed
You would think he lived in the first epochs of time

52. And think he lived the last of his lifetimes
To the resurrection, if the beautiful is remembered

53. Whoever lived some of time lived all of it
Nobly and forbearingly, so take advantage of the longest life
