1. If they make a promise, they have no loyalty,
And if they make an appointment, their tryst is mirage.

2. And if I please them, they get angry out of boredom,
And if I associate with them, they do evil.

3. So rest yourself, I ransom you from them,
And do not cry, for crying is of no use.

4. And beware of listening to blame about them,
I and those who blame them are their ransom.

5. They are the excess of youth and lean of body,
By your life, this has no permanence!

6. And do not blacken your heart with iron,
Nor your eyes with tears of blood.

7. And who do you have that visits you of a beloved one,
Whose love is chaste and friendship faithful?

8. The wine on his lips in the morning is intoxicant,
As if its temper is honey and water.

9. Sick of glance, he caused me lovesickness,
And in his lips is the cure for illness.

10. He bid me farewell, so I melted and separation alone remained,
Is there after the farewell for us any meeting?

11. If the beloved travels, then what is my life?
And after him, my death and living are equal.

12. I ransom you, what is love except
Poor hearts that are empty winds?

13. Take provision for misfortunes, patience,
For verily patience, its darkness is illumination.

14. And take from everyone you befriend, caution,
For this life has no true brotherhood.

15. And do not feel safe with the promise of people,
If they make a promise, they have no loyalty.

16. And if the days cause you to stumble, then descend
Upon the most generous whom the sky shades -

17. The Hashimi Prophet with a bright face,
His traits are leniency and loyalty.

18. Of long generosity, bounty and truthfulness,
The most generous and truthful were his companions.

19. By my soul that journeyed and ascended until
It saw the veils of Majesty wrapped around Him!

20. And the All-Dominant called him "My beloved!
Come to Our communion and for you be felicity!"

21. So say and intercede - will you see generosity and glory? -
And ask - you will be given, for generosity is our trait.

22. The treasuries of My Mercy and the bliss of My Dominion
Are by your judgement, so judge in them what you wish!

23. For you is the Basin of Abundance, an honor O Muhammad,
And the intercession and the banner!

24. Your station, even the angels fall short of it,
And your superiority no prophet has attained.

25. And how many miracles and signs you have in the Highest,
By which the Ordainment was determined!

26. If they attribute the honorable deeds and sublime traits,
Then you are their perfection and beginning!

27. You increase in generosity when the times recoil,
And your generosity is not changed by ostentation.

28. And you make the dusty years into meadows,
And clarify whenever the serenity is muddled.

29. When glory ends in nobility, then far be it!
And never will your pride reach an end!

30. And who can enumerate your noble deeds,
Which have glory in every order?

31. I love - O son of the chambers - the voice of a servant,
Captive of sin, his loyalty to you remains intact.

32. From both abodes he calls you for what
Years have ruled and hope is cut off.

33. I praised you since I found you as my spring,
So for me from you is freshness, and for you is praise.

34. Save me by your station from mistakes
And burdens, which straiten the horizon!

35. And who do I have as refuge in every state?
For I have no shelter except You alone!

36. And say: "Abd al-Rahim and those with him
Have reward in the countryside of Our Mercy."

37. For if You honor us in this life and the next,
Then the sea is not diminished by buckets!

38. Upon you is your Lord's blessing for as long
As the stars of the sky shine and winds blow softly!

39. A blessing that achieves what is hoped for within it -
Your noble and reverent companions.
