1. If your eyelids are stingy with their tears
Then the heart is dependent on its sorrow

2. O reproacher, let me endure my anguish
For love has taken hold and I'm not its equal

3. Tell the dear departed, blessings upon him
About a love-sick man singled out by his afflictions

4. Stand tall with fortitude over passion's pain
I have set out to meet my wishes among their dens

5. The beauties, their glances entrance our minds
The deputies of the wise, their intelligence

6. O Hind, be generous with union to a lad
The fire of love and longing in his heart

7. Loyalty to the beloved purified
So he turned from him and became his enemy

8. Then absence denied his eyes their fill after
He had been among his successors

9. He unleashed upon him charm’s awe
The full moon is shy of his brilliant glow

10. His stature enchants hearts, his cheek a rose
That excels youth with its water clear

11. Joseph is not his equal in beauty’s forms
The sun cannot match his peers

12. If Ridwa's hand shook his right
She would incline to him and become his captive

13. So who will protect and shelter from his tyranny
To deter his persistent estrangement

14. And shelter me from his coldness and fatigue
And far from the sweet of his clear spring

15. To Hammam al-Din most generous, glorious
Who inherited the heights and glory of his fathers

16. My resolve is fixed and hope urges me
Seeking the intimate from his sweet brotherhood

17. A hero whose chest chilled the cold of centuries
Bloodied on the day of the fray

18. And when distressed, his relief
Outpaced requests, abundant his gifts

19. I made him my confidant, professing my love
For no enamored conceals their passion

20. So Hammam al-Din surrendered what youth offered
And dawn’s armies marched in its darkness

21. And he weakened with the month of fasting, blessed
In his fast, prayers and supplications
