1. I have the right to boast of honors
Ask time, for I am truthful

2. And if the protected were denied assistance
And today, beside me is tearing

3. The sun strips itself of clouds and dresses
At times, and tender grass grows

4. No wonder the intellect and its soul
At a peak, the obstacles desire it

5. For you, O Manouf, the highest dunes belong
And with it glory, as you know, befits

6. But it abandoned glory deliberately
And dawn emerges its light and lightning

7. Like the full moon away from praising the lovely
And the full moon is not guided by lightning

8. It and virtues like spring and its light
While I and others long for spring

9. I watered time with a draft of his poetry
Thus sometimes conscious and sometimes oblivious

10. I, oh teacher, am confident
In you, and it in the hands of gazelles is entrusted

11. And I, the compassionate, seek your compassion from you
So have compassion, for you are compassionate to the compassionate
