1. O delight intoxicated by bliss
My gratitude to it will never cease

2. Dawn has cleaved the darkness with its pillar
The dew wept while the flowers smiled

3. The breeze breathed the fragrance
Carried by the train of the morning breeze

4. The atmosphere has become gentle
Clear, delighted, refined is the wine

5. So rise on the foot of joy to
A sun orbiting which a full moon revolves

6. A virgin whom when water mixes with
Pearls are born and scattered from her

7. An untouched beauty whom the slyness of men
Cannot tempt, her chastity their excuse

8. A soul of ruby pouring forth
A spirit though its body is gold

9. Her veil appears then you'd think
It's ambers burning behind it embers

10. A light that nearly burst the heart of its drinker
From it the secret is revealed to the eye

11. Her essence distilled its delicacy
It evanesced and inebriation took its place

12. She makes glass with her complexion gold
She's versed in the science of alchemy

13. As if she knows the secret of the elixir
To mend our broken hearts she has skill

14. As if her saliva is wine
Whose fermentation is the tears of separation

15. A crescent whose rising adorns his forehead
With stars like flowers gracing his mane

16. The branches lean crazily towards his stature
Hence their hues turned pale in yearning

17. The blossoms saw his red rose cheeks
Thus their complexion turned yellow in jealousy

18. His expression explains his words
Subtleties clarified by the green

19. His glances, heart, and tender heart
For both a drunk infraction

20. She laughs to me in relaxation
Winds as if their drafting amusement

21. So I pleased him after defiance with her
Until his strictness turns amenable

22. Passion has knitted for us the necklace of embrace
And from chastity we took dress

23. Youth raised the veil from our faces
And nobility was drape between us

24. And how often I frequented the abode of highness
Above the lofty and beneath it forgiveness

25. With a steadfastness like darkness
When I called it an eagle

26. The prey knows it has no escape
From it and so does the rat

27. So when its death presented itself
The red death presented itself

28. Like the blowing of the four winds
A month, and the going of its tomorrow a month

29. It perfected the qualities of removers
Thus by its essence all have limitation

30. Thought goes on following it
I miss then thought regrets

31. It nearly returns the sky if
It thinks the galaxy is a river

32. I drew from it the arrow of an event
That time shoots from its bow

33. Until I reached Abu Al Hussein with it
Until where the eagles flutter

34. Where glory has pitched its pavilion
In it settled glory and pride

35. Where piety and all virtue reside
To it repairs and in it trusts the righteous

36. Since I stepped into his yard
Poverty will never afflict my abode

37. He continues to fling at me his gems
Until I knew he is an ocean

38. Benefiting dew and aiding inquiry
Thus his bestowal and speech are pearls

39. Above the fertile his elevated station
And below it Egypt

40. How many hands do I have from him
My gratitude to them will never cease
