1. My greetings to Al-Muzann are more eloquent than my greetings
To the highlands of Al-Sham

2. It is as if when I remember him I bleed
And the cup of wine tilts at his kindness

3. I promised him the tears of my eyelids
Which are stingy in his presence like the clouds' generosity

4. My family is loyal to his land
Camels yearn there for the water of my reservoirs

5. Can my kisses heal the wounds
Of my passion for him and his love for me

6. And hear in his songs the reproach
That makes its gentleness the necklaces of the pigeons

7. It is as if I never cast off the gown of desires
Nor spent the night in the soft sands

8. And never sipped the blond wine chased
By the effeminate in their gait and stature

9. Over the silver water that was made murky
By the lightning of clouds one foggy day

10. We remained in a gown of chastity
That heals and in a face veil from veils

11. Fearing the dawn would uncover us
As we clung to the musk of darkness

12. The mad ones have gotten used to blaming me
And they got used to it, year after year

13. A passion that cannot be blamed
And youthfulness that does not lead to blame

14. It is as if separation has become habitual
In tormenting the passionate lover

15. So he found no one but Layla's love
And no glory like the glory of Ibn Dawami

16. The generous, supported in gifts
Repeated in generosity, witnessed in status

17. He saw my craving so his generosity took me
To an ocean of favors I dove into

18. So here I am, speaking of him for ages
Without shame and honest in my words

19. The generous walked among the generous thus
Distributing help and repeated favors

20. You see him when the arrogant quarrel
And reason goes wild, steadier than an arrow

21. He humbled the lofty and transcended the sublime
With his generosity that has no blemish in it

22. He has a nature like the meadows of sorrow pleased
By its slopes and the grazing livestock

23. A view that has not stopped being conclusive and effective
And most decisive in tribulations than swords

24. Abundant in convention, knew no disgrace
Praised through it and never experienced humiliation

25. He aspires and never falls short of purpose
Such is the nature of the resolute mind

26. Handsome like the surface of a smooth sword
I smell the incense and the sandalwood rising

27. So if a neighbor brings food
The country most deserving are the swords

28. And its giver is like ostriches
Playing and prancing like ostriches

29. May you last, O Obaydallah, for you are the most loyal
Of people to a promise or pact

30. And the most prudent who roams one day
On quick horses with a tightened belt

31. Your ransom is when one gives a gift
That is an aim without the intention to aim

32. When you show anger in giving help
No rain is hoped from the barren clouds

33. May this happy Eid cheer you
And limit your joy to the month of fasting

34. You were sincere in your acceptable deed
Of purifying the pocket from the filth of sins

35. So God has protected you from poverty
And tied you to good fortune always
