1. The era of youth quenched the era of intimacy
With plentiful water and love, protected by the loving one.

2. He singled out his home as a special place -
I made its seeds halal in a life of comfort.

3. Time dressed him in a coarse woolen coat
And the hand of worries clothed him in silken fabric.

4. The doves cooed in his closeness
With a melody that evokes lament.

5. The traces of temporary dwellings that captivate a glance -
The glance of a beauty made more beautiful by excellent clothing.

6. Revealing the full moon of a youthful radiance
And the brightness of a slender waist.

7. Graceful, whose coyness is uncovered
Whose beauty dazzles the onlooker.

8. The swords of glances attack him
Thus silencing the passions of the brave hero.

9. His sweet mouth contained a scent
With an effect like that of Babel.

10. The vessels of meaning attached to his mouth
Like the attaching of milk vessels to a cooking pot.

11. A peerless leader in virtues,
Valiant in generosity, comfortable,

12. Courageous, glorious, proud, willing,
Awe-inspiring, resolute, generous, elite.

13. He has a glorious status aspiring
To the stars and the highest celestial orbit,

14. And a character like a meadow flower, more fragrant
Than the scent of fine musk.

15. And a palm that gives generously like a rain cloud
To the healthy with plentiful heavy rain.

16. He built for the people of this world a structure of glory
Whose strength reached a firm pillar.

17. And erected for the exalted pillars of pride
That settled firmly like the highest mountain.

18. With determination in his commands
And wisdom that rose above pleasure and amusement.

19. By God! How generous were his hands
To those hoping for his help in times of hardship!

20. He surpassed all in generosity, and who
Has seen a sea precede another in generosity?

21. He attained knowledge of the mind that no one else
Reached save him, with clear thinking.

22. And revived religious knowledge that ignorance
Had destroyed in past times.

23. O my Master - his rank transcended
The Pleiades with its brilliant stars.

24. O sanctuary of generosity, pillar of virtue,
Full moon of the nostalgic and the intimate!

25. O best of men, the ambitions
Of distant lands aspired to reach him.

26. Reaches of space congratulated you, Leader,
On your pleasant position.

27. Before you lies a bride adorned with jewelry
Swaying with adornments and fineries,

28. Her wide coat embroidered - leading
To the vineyard of the vintner from Tālū.

29. A gentleman of etiquette from the age of meetings
Assisting her with clever understanding,

30. A stranger in the land of Rome who spends his evening
Lamenting the condition of time.

31. Yearning for Damascus and its inhabitants
With the yearning of a dove for her nestlings,

32. When she moans for her young, you see him
Answering her with copious tears.

33. He came before you, O Leader,
Never deviating from the right path.

34. O ‘Alī, so eminent! Do you have a day
For one loyal from the days of fidelity?

35. You live on with increasing blessings and a life
Made stable in its shaded comfort.

36. And misfortunes do not make you
Miss a quarter with morning and evening.

37. As long as the days continue, I will yearn
As a stranger for the comfortable homeland,

38. And the entertainers will chant the name of Salmá
And sing of longing for Maysūn.
