1. A girl with a charming gait like magic at dawn
And the night has love for the morn it adorned

2. If I brought her the full moon as a crowned diadem
With a pearl necklace or earrings of gold

3. And gifted her lightning's glow made of gold
And strung together a necklace of star flowers

4. Though I had fulfilled some of her rights
It wouldn't be justice what I gave, nor equal

5. Her father in poetry is most eminent
If composed as a necklace, he'd be its center

6. If time was just, its guide her eminent father
And days compensated what they took away

7. If merits raised his worth to highest ranks
He wouldn't have fallen from the highest place

8. These virgin ideas of his that shone through
The stars weren't good enough company for them

9. The sea of his words aspired to the full moon's light
And planets visited him thinking it a shore

10. Before you is dawn's flower, so admire its light
And before you is the garden's flower, so pick it

11. Abu al-Fadl, don't miss out on great heights
You will attain what you hope for even if delayed

12. For you are literature's master, you tamed it
What prevents that when God has given you support?

13. With sincere love his heart is bound to his promise
Tying firm the knot and bond between you
