1. He recalled the sand dunes from afar after their shrine
And the doves and pigeons in its trees

2. Every small tree tells
A temple singing on its strings

3. It reminded him of Layla's time, Qais
Her neighbor, and she his neighbor

4. She who hasn't exceeded fifteen years
Nor has a side of her cheek sprouted

5. Her cheek shames the roses with its redness
Her gaze shames the wild deer with its glance

6. Do not blame a beauty for aloofness
He gathered the sand and palms in his lap

7. Do not say this was from you, but
His abode did not stay in the heart of his abode

8. And wait for the beloved's kindness, for how often
Relief came to you after waiting

9. Perhaps the fruits of joy will come to me
The brother of silence, from the branches of adversities

10. I do not praise the miser, even
My camels do not pass under his wall

11. And before me is the pride of Fakhr bin Nasr
Whose waves play around my house

12. And to Al-Hirmili the horses galloped
Scattered, returning to his valley

13. They sought the master of leaders swiftly
And settled calmly in his rest

14. He is the refuge of the helpless during danger
He is the savior of the poor during need

15. His chest is the mine of knowledge but
The perfect power of ability lies under his chest

16. O Abu Abdullah, through you the
Religion became mighty and Islam stood after its stumbling

17. Al-Shafi'i did not leave a house of
Prophetic knowledge, and you are one of its guards

18. How can I not praise him whom the
Earth pulls and the fertile quarter from its rain?

19. Good deeds come to me at night
Like the path of the breeze during dawn

20. He hides them so they appear like musk
Whose scent remains with the perfumer

21. God protected him from every evil
So that no bird landed on his trees
