1. O Ahmed Al-Duwe, a compassionate call
The anxiety of travelers is a wandering ghost

2. Love played with his eyelids, so he became sleepy
He made a promise and walked away into the limbs

3. He lost passion, he lost a friend, so he struggled
Among people, like a flint struggling with shackles

4. Fate wrestled the gown of my youth from me
And plucked my cheeks and softness from me

5. And I concealed my special traits, as if they were
Between my ribs, a talisman for my heart

6. And we went to your neighborhood on a secret journey
So we arrived at the square of the Kaaba of intentions

7. And when I came to your door, I knew
That I and wealth had an appointment

8. And I knew that any passion other than you
Is like my passion when without a pillow

9. How could I have been under your care and not be
A rope to protect one far from evil

10. Could there have been, from your Euphrates, a newcomer
If it were not for the chastity of the water-drawers

11. Could the opening of the door of your forum come
Where settled and nomadic alike could enter

12. So extend to him the hand of the savior and speak to him
In the soft whispering of generous men

13. And wipe away his deviance with your merciful glance
Until he returns, with his hair brushed

14. And he returns with the light of success on his face
Marked by the smile of dawn of the generous

15. And he obtains the laurels of glory, pardoned
For the accusations made against him by the defamers

16. And relieve Abu Farraj of the knot of forgetfulness
For to you belong all leadership and leading

17. Two came to you, led by their love for you
Through seas of dew and the shining full moon

18. A rain cloud and a vanquishing flame against enemies
That shakes the lions' dens

19. A sword that splits the arrogant with its lightning
And moistens the garden of prophecy with fine rain

20. So guide them the paths of nobility and consent
And provide them with all they wish

21. O Ahmed Al-Badawi, our matter in summary
Is that we are merchants of glories

22. Our greed has divided us in the countries
Creating for our misery a long night of sterility

23. So light for us the fire and bring us together
With a hand that reaches above the clouds

24. One called you from the club of nobility but did not find
Other than the best of youths when he called
