1. I sent away my joys and bade farewell to delight,
The day she left amidst the uncertain throng.

2. A singing gazelle, pure of heart,
Yet fate's noose fell upon her neck.

3. She appeared from the side of the tent to us,
In the first light of dawn that unveiled the meadows.

4. What eye shall see her after us?
Would that I possess the protected attributes!

5. I have interpreted the dreams of adversity,
And for a time excused myself with pretexts.

6. I concealed love until it reproached me,
And when disease is hidden, it kills.

7. Fate laughed and bared its gaping mouth,
With the splendor of everlasting dominion.

8. With a youth, from whom doom cannot be escaped,
And upon whom opinion descended.

9. Your great cunning has sufficiently helped you,
The talk of youth, an insightful lad.

10. Age yielded to the broker of doom,
And languor slipped from him like trousers.

11. No act of a day is hoped for tomorrow,
And when resolved to act, he acted.

12. O son, whose attainment encompassed all people,
And by whom the example among mankind was set.

13. Rulership bears a tremendous burden,
Few among the people can carry it sparingly.

14. Spare your eyes the evils of fate,
And leave sleep to the ladies of the tents.

15. Make wisdom the ally of the youth,
For with glory, the hero is given.

16. Do not separate the warrior between them,
For they both give aid in attaining hope.

17. The embellished words and fabricated ruses of enemies,
Cannot dissuade you.

18. Without bringing near a swimming courser,
That carries intention like the eternal lord.

19. And a blade like the lamp of darkness,
That adorned the sides of a straight spear.

20. The tip of the spear is effective with it,
Like what modesty does to the cheek.

21. He who carries it, fears no injustice,
Sense was bound to the edges of the sword.

22. O most deserving of victory, he who
Presented justice and lowered himself.

23. You left the sun behind as compensation for us,
In your place, yet is there any substitute for you?

24. May God return you to it unharmed,
And suffice us from the fears of your absence.
