1. A movement stirred in my heart, so it would not settle
For those who settled in the outskirts of Mecca

2. They are my heart's beloved, my hope
They are my soul's bond, so they settled and homed

3. I attached my hopes to the caravan the next morning they marched
As if a soul had parted from the body in the caravan

4. My tears flowed individually after they left, and not once
Did the patience's compassion bend when it inclined

5. I wish an imagination's specter would visit, perhaps
The specter would beseech the glance that battled weariness

6. How much have I said farewell, my heart, after they left
And it does not benefit me to have said farewell

7. My heart's loved ones, may news come from your side
To the yearner who laments the ruins and edifices

8. Will time restore your nearness after determination?
After intentions perished, how much did it increase my suffering?

9. I am needless of the whole universe except you
And I have no independence from you, my masters

10. Hearts blended with affection before we reached
And if you are far, your secret is still with us

11. You are me and I am you, no wonder
That you are you, and in existence, you are me

12. My soul is here after souls are there, and souls
There are the soul residing here

13. I love you and love the place familiar
From you, and I ask about you from those who parted from us

14. I wonder, is there room enough in the house
That the passing nights would return to us?

15. Or would you pity, my loved ones, a liver
That almost melted in yearning and pining for you

16. By the One whose pilgrims circumambulated His House
And what the prayer area, minbar and Mina contained

17. I did not change from the state of affection for you
Nor took off the love of your past, our foundation

18. Sailing the seas of longing, taking as provision
Good reliance and contentment as ships

19. Let the decrees run their course, and accept what was done
And conceal your love, and do not blame time

20. For merits lie deposited in dangers
So seek merits and make your soul the price

21. And if passion wants disgrace from you, say:
"Death's rule in loving the beloved is my purpose"

22. And the soul-taker takes souls in their presence
Where attendance is absent, and remaining is perishing

23. So preserve their love, and die in love of them as
A trustee over secrets, trustworthy

24. For the universe stealthily derives its beauties from them
And religion wears joy and brilliance from them

25. Fragrant breezes of Damascus, convey to my master Umar
Greetings from a lover residing in Yemen

26. And praise to the Imam Ma'jid Ali's knowledge
He gave life to guidance, clarity, duty and traditions

27. Blessed is the face we suffice with tribulations for it
And by his prayer we seek relief from our concerns

28. My master, you are whom I want wherever you are, and how much
Did the slanderers prattle and say, "He worships an idol"?

29. I do not thank time for shading me with its blessings
Unless it shows me your beautiful face

30. So mention Abu Al-Qasim Al-Khati among your servants in
Those dwellings - how many fearful ones we secured

31. And connect with mercy Abd Al-Rahim and sprinkle
Upon him of your wing - how many favors we bestowed upon him

32. From me, peace of Allah upon you, for as long as
The parchments of fever rustled and the youth of morning bent a branch
