1. Whenever a breeze blows at dawn
My yearning and moaning increase

2. And I remember times gone by
With Aghid and bright-faced Wadhah

3. My eyelids are sleepy but his glance
Awakens longing in my heart of hearts

4. No part of me is unhurt
By its wound, not even for an hour

5. My eyes grew used to crying always
Its spring exhausted, having no helper

6. It's as if tears have become
Its food, not visitor, at all times

7. So the tongue of circumstance in it grows weak
Humans are created of despised water

8. O people of the horizon, has it been unveiled to us
Other than the full moon of the earth for some years now?

9. He is peerless in beauty so you have
No likeness but him, none other

10. Our full moon is kindled only
By the light of the true religion and faith

11. Ahmad, whose deeds are most praised
The pride of the religion, imam of the guided

12. Perfect in attributes, of pure origin
And lineage, of firm and eminent status

13. A lineage that dims the sun of Najjar
In his presence until it hides away

14. He gives bounty freely, his word
Is obeyed, trusted and honest

15. Whether near or far, his love

17. I am not one who sees in love
That he should divide his heart among the beautiful

18. Rather my love is for one alone
To the unique, so for oneness my religion

19. If I praise him doubly I find myself
A composer praising him, the precious pearl

20. Or a speaker in Ukaz focused
On the leaves of prolific poets

21. O my cheek, O most cherished of people, O
The best one to hold the reins to my cheeks

22. Did you think my vow was a whim
Like the garment of a destitute man?

23. No! And who taught you good character
And the opposite of good traits?

24. My vow does not erase its inscription
Due to the passage of days or years

25. And my heart has constant love for you
Its causes are not erased until my end

26. If longing silences me, what of it
When it is full of melody

27. To my soul, remembering you is comfort
And joy reviving my woeful heart

28.
You fulfilled praiseworthy traits so you are

29. The most deserving of praise and eulogy in my view
Except that I complain to you of one thing

30. My eyes looked upon it, crying copiously
It is that you were created in creation from

31. One who never tasted grape wine
And your poetry surpassed our poems

32. Just as honesty surpasses falsehood
If an ignorant band rivaled you with me

33. I would have been a better supporter
How I protected you, guarding

34. Against the evil of aggressors
A boon I never forget, and it was not
