1. What harm if pure love weakens me,
And makes my heart obey play and amusement?

2. The breezes of the valley do not blow musk,
That by evening turns into affection and tenderness.

3. Unless found copious by the rain of tears,
The terraces of Najd will not water the meadows.

4. By God, by God, O breeze repeat
Knowledge from the Western scholar sometimes.

5. Did it water its valleys early while laden
With irrigation watering the green young sprouts?

6. Is there in Najd and on the side of Al-Ban
A loved one that makes the heart forget blessings and prosperity?

7. How many slips by the zealots shone
For us while the eye of pure love watches over us.

8. A possible opportunity slipped us by night,
And awoke us while the night slept soundly.

9. It came and went while it makes me worry,
Who tasted the intoxication of love drunk and intoxicated.

10. When the horizons of the two easts shone
Against my will, and dawn almost appeared.

11. You left me and left the night gathering, so will
We meet after the separation and reunite?

12. Nothing is more difficult than separation preceded
By connection. If only pure love did not exist!

13. O misguided one, leave the roses of Thamad and take
The roses of the sea, Ibn Fakhr Al-Din Mu'dan.

14. Visit Ahmad bin Abi Bakr, what a young man!
If we call him to kindness, he readily responds.

15. Visit the sea of knowledge who all knowledge belongs to him
And the mountain of forbearance that rivals Mount Thahlan.

16. You will find him, if he overflowed with generosity and nobility,
Protective, and if he said "afterward" wise.

17. That one prepared to solve problems, comprehending
The knowledge of doctrines lucidly and with certainty.

18. The scholar, the worker, the unique one who filled
The land with his fame, mountains and plains.

19. Treasure of knowledge, justice of the religion, his
Traces of guidance did not cease to be light and proof.

20. Trusted keeper of the kings' secrets, when
Entrusted with a secret, he veils the secret discreetly.

21. If all the generous were weighed with him
In merit and pride, they would be lighter than him.

22. Refined in dignity, singular in generosity, if
His palm is held back, he forgets greed and stinginess.

23. Do not seek his equal in his time,
The sun is not replaced with Hiram and Kaywan.

24. O dutiful and compassionate son, stop
Every reminder from me, oblivion is better.

25. I traded poetry for the sake of the wind, so my state
Returned for the wind gained loss.

26. And I was betrayed by my brothers and others
Who were not sincere friends before being empty-handed.

27. They said, "Do you complain of the brothers?" I said, no use
That the sons of Jacob were brothers!

28. They threw their brother in the well ruthlessly
Crying in the depths of the pit, confused.

29. After, they sold him as a escaped slave, and accused
Him wrongfully, a wolf ate him!

30. And how many men I hoped for
Yet kept on wearing the clothes of hopes bare!

31. The wet wood does not grow leaves from thunder without rain
If the mirage of the desert quenches the thirsty.

32. While you are my wealth, hope, and reliance
Your basin of generosity never stopped being full for me.

33. Far from Your Glory! But far from Your bestowal if
I remain thirsty in Your abundant sea!

34. Leave the destinies to fold and unfold me
Until Your blessings known to me reach me.

35. For I have not alighted upon a master but You,
And hope none after God but a human!

36. O source of beauty and benevolence, take me by the hand
For that is who was not beautiful and benevolent

37. Found the spending of generosities and connection difficult,
My rope is short so I cannot be stingy with generosity!

38. And look upon me with a sympathetic eye from You,
And revive me with Your resolve, settled and confused!

39. And whose glory is inaccessible to every affliction
In a position I have longed for blessing and faith!
