1. The white eggs frolic between the eggs and the nestlings.
The bright-eyed houri played tricks on you.

2. So take vengeance with a spear in the battle of love,
For a stab with a spear is different than a stab with a glance.

3. How much passion have I seen in her
That felled the mighty warriors with the glances of a fawn.

4. And how many human gazelles melted my body
With estrangement until it told the tale of what was woven from yarn.

5. Crazed, I turned from my forbearance to my foolishness
By a resident of beauty staying up through the night.

6. I protect my soul from her allurements in love
Of an eye in which sorcery is applied with kohl.

7. The deception of youth attacks me
With biting into apples and kisses.

8. And my professing passion does not address her
If we meet - silent in boredom.

9. O she, my calling of her is a greedy ambition
In making her speak, missing the grasp of understanding.

10. I see the arrows of her glances assailing me -
Is there an archer among the sons of Tha'labah in her eyelids?

11. Rather, the weakness of her glance in shedding blood
Is manifold what the deer, arrows and spears possess.

12. I am a man who is guarded in his love,
So no defect is seen in my loyalty, not a gap.

13. A critic extended the breadth of calumny and tears
Poured down his cheeks onto the roads.

14. The roar of thunder in its density
Is like the rumble of a mighty army.

15. The earth seems to unveil from its gardens
Brides in varieties of adornment and garments.

16. God gave life thereby to barren lands
As He gave life to the dead through Jesus son of Mary.

17. Sufficient is he whom God sufficed in the defiant time with him,
Addressed the eloquent from him with slackened tongues.

18. He settled therein people in their dwellings
When they bid farewell and departed.

19. And God established safety in their hearts
After anxiety wandering in their bowels.

20. With the greatest good fortune, no blemish attributed to him,
Its source of his right side sends down pouring rain.

21. A people whose rule treats the citizens gently,
Not with tyranny and punishment.

22. Whoever acts upon his word with good deeds
While the word blossoms and the fruit is for action.

23. He has the steadfastness of wisdom while being able
To temper the minds that plunge from mountains.

24. In a state firmly established in the seat of might
It dictates the high moral traits to the epochs.

25. Dazzling as the moon rising above its blanket, a lion
Whose claws are red, the edges withered.

26. Smiling openly, arousing passion, intense
Not fearing the bite from its strong white teeth.

27. You see the swords around him bared
The tails of the hawks upon the bodies and skulls.

28. You would think every brave man like an ocean
In its surge rises the essence of the hero.

29. The Muslim nation thrives through him
Rising above religions with his strikes.

30. Antiquity characterized them to
The resolved decisions of his early forefathers

31. I questioned each white-faced one in his right side,
Like lightning snatching the life of one near his end.

32. Streams carrying passion - so did they carry
The water of flowing tears from prisoners?

33. A people whose reputation he heals with valor and charity
The disease of cowardice and stinginess.

34. Seeking his target in the deserts with archers
In the sea with ships or on land with camels.

35. Of pure soul, clement, having no hope
Save the noble deeds contained in the sons of hope.

36. My time obeyed me when I held firm to him
Until I reckoned my time returned from its expiration.

37. I had not realized before seeing him
I met the noble souls of mankind in a man.

38. O you of wisdom and sword who the fire
Of death for the faltering was extinguished through him.

39. If your determination a limit to the stars
It would not assess taxes except with a shortfall.

40. It is as if your mention intoxicated the world
In valor and charity, peerless and unmatched.

41. So submit to your praise, gain might so long as
The birds chant at dawn and in the evenings.
