1. O gazelle in the pasture of Jasim
You were nourished with eternal, pouring life

2. You emerged for us amid the meadows
So you blossomed with the secret of a silent man

3. The lovers went too far in their love
And my patience for blamers grew weary

4. By God, your forbearance, O son of Al-Hussein
The day we met at the abode of pillars

5. And a stance of farewell embraced us
Empty of lovers and free of crowds

6. It was as if I procrastinated the loss of conviction
In his basin were two of my dreaming eyes

7. And the pale faces, youths with gentle palms
Secretly, and the house was Hashimi

8. Cypresses swaying the darkness and shade
As the gallant hero sheathed his sword

9. I say, and they brought news of the minister
Welcome, welcome to you, O newcomer!

10. You have returned like the drizzling rain
Pouring down on the liver of the despondent one

11. While you were away we were, scattered and lonely, without an organizer
Antagonizing the eyes of the enemies

12. And taking precautions against the grip of the unjust
So one whose passion appeared openly

13. And another whose love was suppressed
When longing stirred in his heart

14. He swayed like a delicate branch
Be astonished at the events of time

15. And a world playing tricks on all people
Do not assume that the course of time

16. Will awaken its gazelles from their slumber
If half would sleep and half would rise

17. With every gallant youth that slept
And how many destitute wanderers does it contain

18. And how many wealthy misers
And I point out advice that combines

19. The experience of life with good counsel
Stay where you vex the envious

20. And leave remorse to the regretful
Be a lump in the throat of the enemy

21. And bile in the throat of the choking adversary
Do not distance yourself from the call of the screaming

22. Nor the resolve of the determined rebel
The predator must pounce suddenly

23. To the docile sheep gone astray
And I am not one who procrastinates with time

24. Since they guaranteed a swift peace
And were it not for you, I would be

25. Averse to sleepers in shelters
And when I experienced life, it disavowed me

26. And how my ring finger wronged my seal ring!
