1. I was on the verge of parting in distress
When the gathering was close and departure did not worry it

2. And when we kindled the fires of parting and ignited
Exalted garments, and the lights of the abodes appeared

3. So what I had feared happening has been protected
So my heart among the blamers is wounded

4. So be patient if the abode has expanded between us
And your riding camels have realized their zeal seriously

5. And the crow of separation has cried and the stick has cracked
And a lover has returned in passion and is honest

6. Our neighbors bid you farewell sincerely
As the scent of musk spreads

7. You were our souls, so you left
So there is no body left when the soul departs

8. You bent over the embers of separation our ribs
So contain livers in which there are wounds

9. And how many faces I met on the day of farewell
Affectionately, but farewell is bleak

10. My passion has healed so it has not doubted illness
And the heart is not healthy from the disease of love

11. And how much a loved one was cast down between the tent pegs
As if it was flung between the encampments battered

12. And how many hearts melted and poured down in tears
So in every eyelid a slaughtered one glitters

13. And nothing aroused me but the weeping of a dove
That laments and reveals the guarded secret and confides

14. I gather both my hands upon awakening
When it screams at dawn and I scream

15. Infatuated with separation, calling its cooing
So I make it happy with lamentation when it laments

16. If only I never knew your love
And a wind did not sweep me away in my youth

17. Lightning flashed to me from Lebanon when I regained it
Your visage is brilliant lightning from Damascus

18. And I used to find the beloved despicable before today
And that my journey away from beautiful Damascus is excellent

19. And from the generosity of (Al-Malik Al-Mu'izz) in Baalbek I have
Blessings with which I rise and blessings with which I retire

20. The abode of the kings of the earth is beneath his glory
And all of them displaying perishing decline

21. Tomorrow its honor is like the month of fasting in protection
With money through which generosity makes lawful

22. Congratulations to it the month of fasting, so its deeds
With it are profitable merchandise with God the Lord

23. When he is generous, Tai' says in his generosity
Indeed, among us there is a miserly seal

24. And if he travels he hunts the lions in their lairs
So their harmful visitor there roams

25. He sees the opinion of Qais leading in his opinion
And if he says what Qais says in it there is eloquence

26. And in the battles Amr and Amer
Flee from him in fear and he is frowning

27. And every weak poem is beneath the rhythm of his poem
And can foam and wine be equal?

28. How excellent is saffron when it is seen in it
Arrogance from which it and afterglow have radiated

29. Through it the dead of destitution lived until it is as if
After Christ the anointed one came to the people the anointed one

30. Lo, indeed all the kings are like stars
And before the face of Bahram Shah the planet Venus is ashamed

31. So he attained what the son of David attained before him
And lived what lived in existence as long as Noah lived

32. Nothing spread except his mention with praises
And nothing spread but his supremacy a panegyric

33. And he is not a fierce lion with blood dripping claws
Angry, bold among the valiant and wounded

34. Baring his teeth in war frowning
So in his face at the encounter is harshness

35. More deadly than him and mixing with the valiant
Their blood above the corpses anointed

36. His determination has preferred the firmly rooted scholars
And the kings have wasted the hunt and he yearns

37. His awe fills hearts and indeed he
Is overlooking the great sin and pardoning

38. He has an image that appears pleasing and a face
That appears pleasing and a nature like the blowing breeze

39. His positions are standing upon virtue in them
No superfluities and in them no ugly thing is circulated

40. From his hand eyes are delighted with sweetness
And breasts are opened from the explanation of his writings
