1. Awaken from the intoxication of false hope
And from the delusion of fleeting glory

2. Do not despair of the turn of fate, for I
Hope it will return to equilibrium

3. I settled for departure, but how can I rest
In a land that was not a lodging place for travelers

4. I carefully approach its expanse and find
A refuge from gray hairs among mountain peaks

5. The meadows gleamed when dusk descended
As if garments of family covered the meadows

6. As if the sprigs of branches were adorned
With camphor jewelry, brides of the valleys

7. The eye roams in it while it roams in the eye
Like the stars of horses wandering without majesty

8. The army of jars is defeated only
By an army that never tires of fighting

9. And by lions from the lions of the meadow
Whose attributes rise above the lions of the north

10. So their horses race dappled and blond
Urged on by their riders’ hands

11. With legs like crescents that rotate a sun
Over drinking companions in the shape of a crescent

12. For him, a javelin is traced in musk
And it blazes above his cheeks in black moles

13. You see crystal goblets and red heavy ones
Circling around in his hands

14. Abul Abbas, for every affair you are
Stern of face, condemnable in your actions

15. Honor was bestowed upon you, yet I saw
You buy praise with money

16. Indeed upon me the meadow's anger
And the familiarity after harmony was cut off

17. So if my cup reaches the blond maiden
I will clothe your elevation in the garment of words
