1. Who can bring back to me the days of joy
When we were together, happy and gay

2. With nights of union and sweet delight
The rain would pour as darkness took flight

3. My friend, remind me of what has passed
Of days of union that flew so fast

4. And of my youth, those moments so dear
Where are those days, O joy sublime?

5. Lighten this heavy burden of woe
For sorrow weighs down my load

6. I had patience till friends went away
To journey afar and leave me astray

7. They camped in the valley and chose to be
Distant from me, my heart their abode

8. With malice intent they stricken my soul
Their eyes desired only my death knoll

9. I cried injustice from love so cruel
Whose rule showed no mercy, just fate foul

10. Your glance was the strike that brought my doom
That look from your eyes, O beauty's bloom

11. So fear God and the wounds you impart
Eyes so pure care not for the heart

12. My eyes bloodied with tears in the night
Till sunrise and darkness took flight

13. Sleep shunned the wakeful eye of despair
That found no comfort, just sadness there

14. Leave me to mourn the abodes laid bare
I weep for the ruins as night turns to dawn

15. Oh how I have wept at that fateful place
My tears stronger than words can retrace

16. My eyes disclosed to the spies of passion
The blood tears they shed in profusion

17. My innermost thoughts no more concealed
When eyes let them out, secrets unsealed

18. Those counseling patience believed in vain
That I heeded advice, was cured of my pain

19. While arguing on, they knew not that I
Was lost in love's grasp, could not comply

20. If the critic saw love's tribulation
He'd know the folly of his estimation

21. My friend, if you knew not the affliction
Of passions that raged past eviction

22. When dear ones left us, word of joy ceased
And parted in absence, bonds broken, unleashed

23. They carried my condition, reported false
The messenger lied about my loss

24. Did you ask how my heart fared? Forlorn
Forgotten by you, from its quest torn

25. None can replace you within my heart
Without you, what substitute can start?

26. When a man excels in his excellence
He attains glory with diligence

27. Noble words lead to actions ahead
What he states he accomplishes stead

28. A lord, if destiny ruled as it may
Would accomplish the noblest display

29. He found destiny's gifts to put on
Gleaming with glory, those gifts donned

30. Glory read in his virtues of old
Surat Al-Hamd, blessed to behold

31. Obstacles fell before his great name
Without resistance or sense of shame

32. Pure of soul, his status is high
You'll not see a star in the sky

33. A lord of loftiest Hashimite fame
Who matured sheltered in domains

34. Of lords who attained the sublime
Through ascent, descent and mountain climb

35. Lords whom God showed clearly the way
To guide all mankind night and day

36. God sent down to their ancestor
The Book Divine, majestic tutor

37. Lords but for whom people would stray
Wandering lost, with hearts led astray

38. None like him came before into sight
Shining bright like the full moon at night

39. Radiantly he came into view
Manifest, glorified anew

40. Dawn lit up the sky at sun's sight
His rise dispelled darkness like light

41. Can eyes that saw the keen minded son
Of Juraij miss that brilliant sun?

42. I'm blessed by gifts from his palm
Daily my hopes are rendered calm

43. Favor from his hand stretched out
Models of giving, without a doubt

44. His hands are hands of constant grace
That nurtured my soul in loving embrace

45. Connections came from his close call
Never to lose that gift at all

46. I care not if at times there's a dearth
Of fortune, O Saad, throughout my earth

47. So may God reward him for us fully
As he rewards the noble, kindly

48. Should he speak poetry on a whim
His eloquent verses would flow from him

49. May his days be blessed celebrations
And glory be his determination
