1. I urged the camels on through the night
Putting the path before companionship

2. Time has ripped my heart open
With worries that stand out clear

3. I went out to the beautiful, very beautiful Abu Jameel
To the open space from the narrow

4. And were it not for his dates and blessings
We would have remained patient on barley broth

5. So if the patron would grant us clarified butter
We would praise the dates kneaded with flour

6. My eyes saw on an amazing journey
Dearer to me than the eggs of ostriches

7. A rightly-guided brother who avoids sins
And a heretic who repents from immorality

8. And they said that Quddoori had slipped
And people avoided him like wholesome grain

9. For a while he prays with one group
And for a while he glorifies God with another

10. And trusted people told me about him
That he still remains in hardship and distress

11. So longing almost took me to him
A longing one finding solace in another

12. But I wrote him a letter
As a sincere friend writes to a sincere friend

13. I apologize to him for abandoning modesty
And guide him to the misery of the path

14. I say to him, though some advice is deception
Based on what is between us of rights

15. Your certainty of punishment prevented you from it
And God’s forgiveness is more deserving of certainty

16. And how much relief does God have soon
And how much capacity and distress the servant has

17. Do you forget when you committed the sin
Great between pipe and trumpet

18. Except through a cup of wine
Our place wherever we got drunk

19. Was the place of the dog on the side of the road
The wretched passes by us so we afflict him

20. And we preach to the vigilant pious one
And your saying to her who got drunk and slept

21. “You have done ugly things to me, will you wake up?”
I blocked the hearing of the beautiful woman by force

22. With something like the trunk of a bent palm tree
Your guests inform me wherever they came from

23. That you have distanced yourself from sobriety
You call for food without drink

24. Like the braying of a donkey over fodder
And what is this that you have substituted for it

25. Can talk make up for the old?
Was I not corrupted just as you see me

26. It pains me to disobey my brother
So enjoyment did not last for a shouter

27. Who threw the mother of evils with disobedience
You certainly disturbed my serenity that day

28. And my saliva dried up from the rebuke
And I became pleased with you, displeased

29. So do not incline toward the anger of a friend
And I was granted happiness through sins

30. With the sultanate of the son of the sultan Rizuki
He has come to bite his hands

31. And he chooses wine over inferno
And how much mature wine he saw

32. He preferred over old vinegar
The lowly kind did not quench him

33. He has come to disdain cravings
And how many penitents before this

34. Were frightened of their major differences
And the distinction of penitents for me today

35. Is their choosing to pelt them with the catapult
So what a repentance that returned upon him

36. To plummet far down from heights
We saw him praying the five obligatory

37. At the prayer niche loudly sobbing
So we unleashed poetry demons upon him

38. In the early dawn and during dark night
And we tempted him during obvious sorcery

39. Of eloquence with gentle poetry
Until he returned more corrupt than before

40. And faster to respond than a beardless boy
Whenever he drew closer to the devil

41. He clung to the strong rope from Him
He had a blessing, had he duly preserved it

42. And fulfilled the rights
But here he is after it in any case

43. Changed in metaphor from reality
He spent a lifetime serving patrons

44. The elegance of pleasant living
You are drowning, Abu Salman, in it

45. And how many are drowning in your sea of generosity
Raja, who takes refugee in you, says

46. My determination has tilted toward good things
He hopes high hopes from your magnanimity

47. And awaits from you the truthful lightning
When the suns of the Family of Ali have not gone down

48. Informing us of the dawn
The images of glory shine for us

49. Guiding us to the subtle meaning
To your door, Master of Patrons, running

50. Informing about your utmost glory
The hidden becomes revealed to you, revealing

51. The essence of speech about the condition of the weak
Urging the camels hastily treading

52. To your glorious heights from a deep ravine
People stand over them equal

53. On foot and marketplace
