1. After me, the rainclouds and drizzles turn towards you
And none other than you harmonizes with them

2. Does Su'ad's people from the Bani Jusham tribe have, near your abode
Knowledge? The sand dune and the master are ignorant

3. Has it become desolate, O mount of Rama, or inhabited, O Bani Salam?
O sister of Rama's ruins and reconciliation

4. They were my friends, and the world separated us
So neither misery nor comfort in it endure

5. And I was the companion of Su'ad while she was my companion
The house was nearby and our friendship intact

6. And my pillow was none but an embrace and a hand
From it, which never parted from mine, neither mouth nor mouth

7. After that separation of our intimacy
The travelers traveled and whenever they claimed

8. Jacob is the origin of his blindness, so he may lose his Joseph
Yet Joseph, in Jacob, is not blamed

9. So no friend is lost by one who befriends him
But they are notions that nations pursue

10. O guide of the camel caravan, direct it wherever its tracks meander
And challenger of the dark night whose color is ember

11. And bearer of the saddle and white camphor
And the end of its tethering rope sealed with musk

12. Hail to you, dweller of the befriended neighbor
Rather the family, so the home and sanctuary

13. And the most generous of accompanied people, who has
No lord to yearn nor a refined and delicate figure

14. So if it appears to you, then cling to its toes
And its back, for the palms of generosity are clasped

15. And say to it wherever its coquetries are unknown
For if people were safe from some of them, they would be safe

16. Between me and you is what is not between the indecent
And obscene, a brotherhood that does not fray

17. Nor does Aaron have, from his brother Moses, what
I have from you, you have remained eternally kind

18. Bajila daughter of 'Abs, you are her master
And I am the son of Hamdan, those who are

19. And I have pages of longing for you, if recited
To the clouds, would they cease raining for it?

20. Muhammad son of Hussein, oh may my father be sacrificed for you
You are his son, and for you are bounties and nobility

21. You never cease to grant my aspirations if hands held back
And spend what I sought if they deprived

22. So benefit from my praise no matter my need
For the night of decree, behold that dream is to be benefited from

23. Between seeing of the eye and its awareness
The wealthy tires and the poor who lacks becomes wealthy

24. Have you not heard of Qarun and what his collecting
Sufficed him? He left and the wolf and lamb left

25. And you have heard of Shaddad son of 'Aram
Seeking immortality but neither did he become immortal nor 'Aram

26. Good remains even if time is long with it
And deeds vanish but after them words remain

27. Were it not for seeing you as myself, my hand would not
Open with poetry from me

28. And I don't think you forget the right of my knowledge
For the learned among the people of grace are trusted
