1. My blamer blames me for longing after dew, O Hind!
Seeking praise is better than seeking wealth, O Hind!

2. Praise remains with me even if
My soul perishes, and family and children are lost,

3. And wealth is consumed by misfortunes, and
Events, until nothing remains,

4. And it spends the night being guarded, even if
The generous, the child and the servant protect it.

5. And praise cannot be taken away
From my comfort by the greedy glutton.

6. And when I walk at night, it walks with me clearly,
Gently, while the wing of night is outspread.

7. O Hind, truly the home is transient,
And nearness comes after it with distance.

8. My life passes while I have not gained with it
Except for that pigeon - it does not return at daybreak -

9. I was not led by it when it was in the hands of fate.
And the goal of man's attire is a shroud

10. That wears out, and the last of his homes is the grave.
How many a people whose homes were ruined

11. By distress, and the straight path deviated from them,
Dwelling together in a neglected house,

12. Having neither heat nor cold,
They did not part except against their will

13. From those they loved and those they befriended,
And when dire need called them,

14. It betrayed them at death, the intimate friend.
Eternity's end is death, and it has no

15. Stay in the world, nor eternity.
O Hind, neither a cave nor refuge saves

16. From the fear of fate.
All souls, even if they are heedlessly passionate

17. Between the pigeon and it, have a promise.
And fate in time is a twisting serpent

18. When it desires it, and the feeble flesh is pliable.
If the dishevelment of time misses a youth,

19. It misses the deaf, barren, tough flesh.
And the howling heights of Kadhimah were saved

20. From it, and the skins were not wretched because of it.
And Hind desires while she is apprehensive -

21. How did I live forever and affection passed from her?
And she prevents every visitor from me -

22. How, when obedience does not obey her?
And she says, "Distance did not separate us in vain,

23. And she errs from the one distance betrayed."
And hardships grieve her if they befall

24. My home, and effort holds marriage feast at my place.
And she wants for me what is not in her hands -

25. A term against the days that would extend.
And she protects me from comfort that does not benefit her,

26. After which there is no hardship.
You console me if we slip, and stumble,

27. A foot, and the covenant between us is prolonged.
How many like you came while you were leaving

28. From an event, some of which appears,
Truly fate necessarily leads it

29. Reluctantly, and for it the flowers mourn.
It breaks into homes, and neither jest stops it,

30. Intended seriously, nor earnestness.
Do not scratch a cheek against me, for the

31. Young man does not refuse when his cheek is scratched.
And learn, if you are learned,

32. That the pigeon flies across the land.
No sooner does a flower bloom for you,

33. Than for that, hail is given.
Do not heed the gloaters, for I am not

34. Less than them in death, alone.
They did not attain the seekers after me, nor

35. Did they close with the like of me the tear, even if they closed it.
And I had sufficed them, though they did not feel

36. The cunning of the enemy, and for their cunning, resolution.
And I exalted them when I attracted them

37. Forcibly - those are the precipices.
On me are rings of the lance that no

38. Weaving reached, nor knitting.
Where you are saved from the slanderer, and not

39. Saved by the deep wound of the tearing spear.
Who will loan me the bare shoulders from

40. A world whose severity for her ornament is ardour?
He escapes her stings without being stung,

41. Like the pendant adorned by the necklace.
And he prevents the adorning of her ornament

42. Where he was provoked, so propriety prevented him.
And patience was saved from a slippery place

43. That announces with it her causes of sorrow.
O fickle one, and the taster of her

44. Thinks the time of tasting her is honey,
As long as your love lasted, and it lasted in you,

45. So it lasts in you, and sanity passes away.
How many you have tied to faithfulness, but

46. That knot does not cease, it grows weak.
And if your sins of spendthrift ways are counted to us

47. Time will end, and the counting will not finish.
As for the dwellings of those settled

48. In your rescue, they are terraces with stillness.
In them is no bell except if

49. A nightingale sang or thunder rumbled,
And your sad clouds rained over the one who lodged there and passed away,

50. Sobbing, as if the howling of its hyena
Roared, and with it the lions bellowed.

51. Where are those who the goblets are honorable for them,
Whose sea of honor has a high tide?

52. They extended the blessings, so when it was complete for them,
It was stripped from them, and that which they extended was cut off.

53. From all the fathers of the lowly world no
Limit was loosened for them in any request.

54. Like the lion, wine brought out his form,
And the sword displayed its sheath.

55. Because of their honor and awe, old age
Submitted among the living and the tender youth.

56. And their child's darkness, his talisman
Did not break, and his equilibrium is the cradle.

57. They repelled misfortunes - they withdrew backwards,
But from death they did not repel.

58. And it is as if after they dwelled in
The graves, they neither jested nor were serious.

59. My seriousness is not beneficial for a
Term - the young man was serious and seriousness twisted.

60. So if I am lost, then surely for me there is a
Speech necessarily eternal, that has no loss.

61. It roams the countries, and no
Neck feels it, neither near nor far.

62. From every warbling rhyme
That the thrush sings, if he sings.

63. And when the dispersal of its fragrance spreads,
The bells on the camel's neck said the myrtle spread.

64. It rose like the sun of morning on a
Horizon, white, that falsehood cannot deny.

65. And it is as if its intentions are sparks
In the fading of a night that fireflies resemble.

66. A carriage - speech gallops for it
Forgivingly, and the eloquence of its driver is cultured.

67. The envious lean toward its
Goodness, and its opponents are violent.

68. So if the essence of its wording were a body,
The necklace would add it to its string.
