1. My heart casts itself though in its darkness
Does it not fear for its infatuation?

2. And in its ignorance it wounds itself
That the lovers aspire to keep it

3. The heart wandered in passion and in pride
So when will the awakening of its wandering in its wandering be?

4. It walked so that if you looked sideways
The hearts of creation would be captured in its folds

5. The rod adhered to the dune by its height
Both attracting the other by its beauty and brilliance

6. Until when they reached contention, they reconciled
To separate between them by the necklace of its hills

7. One with a blush like a star whose light shines
In a darkness that hid it from its companions

8. White despaired of reaching it
And the full moon appeared in the midst of its sky

9. I contained in my lap a body of tears to cry
Perhaps its specter may appear in its water

10. And a pillow the dawn adorned with its branch
From the length of its night and from its weariness

11. The pockets of its eyelids split from a watcher
Empty of their specter and of their drowsiness

12. With prolonged journeys and pillowed
And its gardens one of its hands and its sides

13. Sometimes the deception of mountains is seen and others
Iraq casts it to its hunting grounds

14. And time exhausted its people more than its people
Whoever tried to straighten its crookedness

15. What business have I and what business has time? Every demand
I bring near it recoils in excluding it

16. A time, by your life, old age deprecated it
Until it came to reap its own sons

17. It shows wonder at its great effort
The sensible from its little singing

18. Its days turn and the youth finds
Perplexed between its morning and its evening

19. They were disturbed, so its end is not clear
And the emergence of the depth of water at its purity

20. Who do I have of generous lineage to charm his hearing?
The complaint of a time that passed in its darkness

21. Verily when time wanes in its rotations
Its supreme ones are complained to its supreme ones

22. The debt of religion and life I was content with both
No matter how you masked its darkness with its light

23. And for Ahmad bin Ali gathered a highness
Not gathered before him for his peers

24. Singular in a thousand virtues so what is
In the time a satisfaction to match his qualification?

25. The darkness of adversities does not clear from the youth
Except by seeing his face and his innocence

26. He possessed manhood beyond the people of his time
The possession of death for the initiator of his revival

27. Resolute of determination, his questioning cannot be borne
Eternally for his preceding in granting

28. He expends his treasures and his mention remains
Expending them a path to keeping it

29. And if he makes wealth die he becomes its inheritor
From a hopeful one he brought to life by his praise of him

30. Two inherited treasures remained for him
Praise and glory elongated the branch of its building

31. Of two things, expendable, they gave charity so praise is
From his money and glory from his forefathers

32. And the most glorious of his endowments to creation
Is from him the disdain of debasement from his endowments

33. He thus remains yearning, requesting his bestowal
As if he were a seeker from his beloved ones

34. And you see in him a generosity that deceives himself
And misreads what is transcribed from his sons

35. He yearns and reads that he reaps thus about
His beloved ones his excess of modesty seizes him

36. You thus see him apologizing without crime
The apology of the guilty ones in beseeching his brother

37. Verily I think how I may compose his thanks
For the generous one of his brotherhood has possessed me

38. But I hope that he remains over creation
In its envied horizon from his loftiness

39. He and the most honorable of his sons always
Like the full moon amidst the stars in its darkness
