1. None like me obeys when you torment
What I cannot reach, there is no way to it

2. You are highest in rank and position
To dictate to me, even if you killed a victim

3. You have conquered my heart in its weakness
So be gentle with it, a little, a little

4. Do not oppress, how can you be just
When your eyes rob minds

5. You left me drowning, burning
You made me lean, thin

6. When you were stingy, you became dear to me
All stinginess, yet I do not blame the stingy

7. A waist adorned with beauty and charm
For the flexible, graceful waist to be beautiful

8. We did not see anyone but you, disasters afflict the resolute
The determined, the intelligent, the noble

9. Remember my company when the abode was desolated
For the friend may remember the friend

10. O girls of the barren valley, it is time for your camel litters
To traverse the wasteland, mile after mile

11. Staying does not benefit in the desolate abode
And the condition of the suns is not to settle

12. By my life, the full moon was not called full
Before it departed on a journey, then returned

13. The lightening of al-Numayri directs
Its flashes drag the pouring clouds

14. And head for the fortresses of armies, for Isa
His generosity blanketed the lands with floods

15. His name, moreover, in the pattern of glory
Is Ali, Ja'far and Aqil

16. He is the master of the daughters of Batul and master of the people
Among them he extends a long arm

17. He filled the earth and sky with praise
And men and help and downpours

18. And they wanted his equal but strayed
No equal can be found for perfection
