1. A servant's letter to his Master expressing remorse
His heart is filled with shame for the wrongs he has done, so he is cautious

2. If tomorrow he still feels remorse in his heart
The servant will have neither eye nor trace left

3. But if tomorrow he accepts his excuses generously
He will continue to pride himself on being equal to the noble

4. Are you a Forgiver? I stumbled into an error
O You whose encounter erases the sins of an epoch

5. You who through nearness to You my exile becomes a homeland
And whose distance from You is a journey

6. I deprived myself of the highest pride, so my heart became
Split open from foolishness and about to shatter

7. But my soul makes excuses for me because of my knowledge
That my loyalty has endured time immemorially

8. And that I am the most sincere to my Master in my love
Though I was absent from a people even if they were present

9. O You whose favor distracted me from serving You well
By the sincerity of Your blessing which is well known

10. You increased my provision, so I thought more
About securing it, and the brother of acquisition ponders

11. It is said that if you do not take the initiative, little will be your gain
And seizing the opportunity is hoped for when it is undertaken

12. So from my shyness and yearning for You I see
Two fires both blazing in my heart

13. Do not think I can endure separation from You
Even if You journey away, I have no patience without You

14. If the kiss of farewell comes to bid me adieu
My solace is that it is kept for the return

15. It is as if I hastened my departure
To Your presence, and God's kindness is anticipated

16. May God fulfill my hopes in your return
And may the hopes of companions be tested sincere

17. You have returned in the best homecoming anyone returned
From a journey, so the mortals rejoiced

18. The banner of the Sultan rose up
And victory parades in its shade and success

19. My pen danced in rapture
When it brought me news of his sword

20. I offered congratulations on the conquest, envied
In their beauty by the stars in the heavens, the flowers

21. I attained from him a bestowal unmatched
Except by lines of rain pouring forth

22. Wealth will not elude you, for you are its guarantor
Even if other nights come before it

23. O You who grace me with favors continuously
Though you enrich me, to You I am still poor

24. From You I am guaranteed a flow to connection
Each has its time when it is considered by them

25. If the pen of the Master wrote a recommendation
In some books to the deputies to be referred to

26. It would be like His custom of generosity which He made habitual
And the custom of generosity is remembered for all time

27. The care of mighty kings, if they are heedless
Of their subjects, even the least of their care is difficult

28. But He is gentle in gathering, so if He is generous to them
He looks after the reaper from afar

29. O You who give thousands generously while deeming them paltry
For the provision is greater in value when it is belittled

30. You remained for the realm thousands in the shade of high rank
And a state for You which no other disputes

31. Thousands, if fate enumerates them, are few, just as
You bestow thousands upon us and apologize

32. After one thousand, thousands follow in succession, like
The full moons that succeed the crescent from Your open palm

33. Bringing joy to Your noble-faced children, their faces
Like stars with the moon in their midst

34. In the shade of Him who is God's shade in nobility
In His land, so He is a shade that does not diminish

35. The kingdom of the greatest King, when You became
For Him in fate the minister, and the office

36. You remain, and they remain, focused on everlasting bounty
And a life for which your breasts lacked capacity

37. Likening your life in fate to your kingdom
No dissension ever occurs in their serenity

38. Through you fate contained pride when it gathered you together
What worth is lineage if it lacks pearls?
