1. A flash of lightning made me smile through tears
Longing awakened me from sleep

2. To whom can I complain of the agony of passion?
A burning liver, a flaming heart

3. Woe to a heart toyed with by ecstasy
And pierced by the arrows of love

4. Were it not for the wounds of longing
And not feeling well from the pain of passion

5. It would not have wept, its tears flowing
Down its cheeks in streams

6. With what it sheds in sadness
It washed me, though it did not wash completely

7. So my heart and love in my youth
Will never cease to argue and quarrel

8. If only those who denied the sweet company
Would listen one day to my eyes wanting to sleep

9. They prevented us from seeing them awake
What would be wrong if we saw them in a dream

10. By love, blame, though
I do not hear blame in love

11. By those mesmerizing eyes
That declared my blood forbidden

12. And a heart that whenever I say "awaken, my heart"
Becomes more inflamed

13. You have caused me such agony
My bones have melted, rather crumbled

14. My tears pouring over you
Whenever I moan in the corners

15. And when one reminds me of you
The heart sits remembering you and stands

16. Oh my friend, who can I see
After that rift, to mend the bond

17. I count the year with you as an hour
And without you, I see the hour as a year

18. The life we ​​lived under your shade was short
What life before was it that lasted?

19. When we bid farewell to the beloved land
And took the covenant and pledge from it

20. And we suckled from cups of sweet wine
Yet after two years, we hated weaning

21. Do you think that love and those regrets
Whenever the breeze blows, I say "O breeze

22. Convey to them the greetings of Nejd"
While within me is an unjust soul

23. That does not fear the sin of agony
He who is infatuated with it does not judge fairly

24. Though he may judge, it is not what he wants
If I was offered a drink, I would not find

25. In gifts a fire, even if sparks flew
And I would extinguish the burning agony of love

26. And make the water fresh and sweet
How difficult it was to pass by agitated

27. From my torment in it, which was passion
I would not be given the water of life to drink

28. From she-camels that traverse the desert sands
Those precious hands cast them

29. Among their waves, Iraq and Syria
And the arrows of separation struck them

30. From a loved one they are thrown, and from one parted, they are tossed
And we have tested people in their states

31. And recognized them as generous and vile
And we drank them fresh pure wine

32. And muddy, and we ate their food
So it’s impossible to see an eye that saw

33. Swords of the faith, swords for the faith
If you unsheathe against time a hand

34. It meets necks and meets skulls
Of God's swords, you do not see in its sharp edge

35. Retreat or wear
God deposited within it a gem

36. That would not split among people
I looked at it more beautifully

37. Of goodly origin and determination resolute
From generous nobles created

38. Among the elite of the world only as generous
So gentle that your origin of gentleness

39. Is rarer than old wine and the breath of young women
Or like the morning breeze blowing in a garden

40. Where basil grows in the morning and thyme
Steadfast in his ideas

41. Dawn appears as darkness disappears
And when he straightens the crooked

42. In his lofty opinion, it is upright
A day when white swords are unsheathed from their scabbards

43. With them he clothes both fighters in darkness
In a day as black as pitch darkness

44. The sun wears a black garment
And when the club shines with him

45. The club shines with the full moon through him
No resident of times past hosted a neighbor

46. Dearer than he hosted, so they embraced
We found his covenant in his affection

47. An unbreakable bond, so we said no separation
He brought people together and so sufficed

48. Just as the sea, when the sea surges
By my father you are, O Majid

49. Rising in the highest heavens
He built excellence and elevated his worth

50. After becoming ruins and debris
And his right hand sufficed us the replacement

51. So it sufficed us rain and clouds
A just ruler, most high of lineage

52. From Ali who assumed leadership
The Basra in his days

53. Was more amazing than whoever lived there or visited
It inspired one mute in you

54. With prose of poetry, prose and composition
The rhymes of poetry, precious pearls

55. Which the few with glory made their tents
A poet who loves your great deeds, and in

56. Every valley of praise for you, he wandered
O sword of the faith! O you

57. Whose mighty hands I thank today
So favor and accept all

58. That I have gathered in you of words
And goodly praise made sweet by you

59. Which revives the soul at the start and end
