1. Your radiant face illuminates all with light upon light
No frowning face compares to such splendor and glory

2. Who is she to find fault in the graceful gait of your steps?
So delicate are they, and your pace short and brisk

3. You chide one whose chastity is beyond reproach
Yet the forbearing remains dignified despite your words

4. Nor does she respond with unseemly, harsh speech
That would bring dishonor, though raging as she may be inside

5. Your words cut sharply like the wailing east wind
At dawn, disturbing those still asleep

6. Yet the narcissus and withering rose bid me leave
The garden of your beauty and all its thorns and buds

7. The lavender wafting its scent on the breeze
And the gentle wind carrying its fragrance

8. While your dimples laugh at the sun above
A sparkling planet illuminated in your cheeks

9. The musk on her cheek remains at night
Aged to honey by the wind, its aroma dispersed

10. Your love awakens the living from the dead
And revives the sick, giving them new life

11. God clothed a vision of you in perfect beauty
And all lovely eyes gaze upon you entranced

12. You've an eye that enchants minds should sorcery spring from it
Bewitching intellects, ever delving deeper

13. Lids that signal love, speaking from one heart to another
Your meaningful glance fell upon my heart

14. Why doesn't it leave this mortal frame and take flight?
The painter imprints a touch atop your beauty

15. As if to portray what cannot be depicted
When conversation turns to you, it's said,

16. "Can silk embroider silk?" You show no mercy
To one ensnared by your bracelet, now your captive

17. When will you show mercy to one madly in love?
Leave me be, for a calamity looms ahead

18. Beckoning with bent twigs, signaling and pointing
My separation rages within, churning my grief,

19. My tears flowing ceaselessly from my eyes
She said, "I cannot see it as lawful, this embrace between us"

20. I said, "This I know, yet today I ask what does no harm"
"Let a glance be provision for this body, whose spirit will remain

21. In your hands and then travel on its way"
"I remain bereft of my solace, while the faith of true guidance guards me"

22. "A King whom even kings fear his might"
"Or else the wolves would prey on livestock unfettered"

23. His firm principles surpass all, his reign prosperous
A determined foe of detractors, his arrows flew freely

24. Piercing deep in their breasts, shattering their hearts
His sword protected the frontiers, no enemies daring to breach them

25. A generous man - if he were rain, rocks would bloom!
You'd think the sea but a portion of his vast bounty, if not

26. For its sweet and pleasant waters, ever-flowing
Tell me, who dares vie with Ali's superiority?

27. Impossible to equal, his ways arcane and complex
Through his good deeds he is rich, while iron depends on his might

28. How many fateful battles has he fought, their blood flowing in streams!
His land filled with spark-shooting swords, the skies filled with eagles

29. Producing corpses of enemies come the Day of Resurrection
An army whose dawn is dark with bloodshed, death laughing amidst them

30. Their eggs hatching myriad deaths through the wedding of wars
Their darkness like clouds, lightning striking forth rain

31. Horses, swords, and banners like sea, stream, and pool
When battle stretched on, even death feared his perseverance

32. His right hand holding the demise of multitudes, ants writhing!
He called out while soaring like an eagle, seeming vultures to them

33. Their powerless talons no match for him
Struck by Ali's hands profusely they perished, stripped of life

34. His sharp sword severing heads once proud crowns
With a mere glance, he defeated the Romans' sight

35. Plunging them into darkness though he was light
Eyes dimmed unto death beholding him

36. As if locusts swarmed all around
Oh son of Yahya, praised in every abode

37. For your noble traits, tongues sing your praises
The awe you evoke in foes is an army

38. Striking fear into hearts with its approach
Your glistening swords make the valleys quiver

39. Whenever clashing with armor they roar
Your shields are woven so fine, exceeding all measure

40. Like small snakes, rows of troops writ large
You emboldened the cowardly, predators nearing

41. Was to them like flames engulfing their bones
Your striking inflicted wounds like fiery water

42. This fortunate year saw you at the perfect time
To visit your tomb, still a passionate youth

43. Yearning for your greatness, and for you he came
From you shone the majesty of the Supreme

44. A defiant King and mighty rule
In your palace court, he saw a gathering with no peer

45. Where virtues are traded, profits never fading
Eulogists seem like Eucharises filled to praise you

46. With melodies to which even doves and larks submit
You live in prosperity, joy upon joy

47. Glory eternal, kingdom and bliss abound
