1. I am still in play and joy and
In a pleasant life with perfect bliss

2. Until the gray hair appeared on my temples
It cut the ropes of my affection and means

3. O you, if you judge fairly or act justly
From the injustice of affliction, I am not a judge

4. If you deny my gray hair, it is from you that came
Or if you deny my body, then your abandonment killed me

5. You turned away when the whiteness of separation appeared
From my path and obeyed the word of the blamer

6. You forgot a covenant that passed the time of youth
I fulfilled it and disobeyed those who reproached me about you

7. If you find excuses, the excuse is your disposition
And your dormant love is like a fleeting shade

8. She said, and the reproach did not stir her steed
Alas, one who hopes for union does not wish for parting

9. She turned away, and a teardrop flowed as if
The flood of the tears of the just Imam prepared it

10. The people of kingdoms, merits, and knowledge
Possessor of merit, Sultan bin Saif Al-Fazil

11. The progeny of the good noble ones, the foremost in bounty
And generosity, the people of questions and means

12. They excelled people with ranks and positions
And praised natures, traits

13. And refined, beautiful, radiant morals
And published talents and merits

14. For you, O son of Saif, is might that if it opposed
A mountain, it would become like melting sand

15. And the brilliance of a shining face of splendor
That eclipses the full radiant moon

16. O you who ask about his generosity and munificence
Its expanse falls short of description by the speaker

17. If I say like heavy pouring rain, I belittle him
Or say like the vast encompassing sea

18. And if I say in courage and righteousness
Like the mighty lion with might

19. He is the first, he is the last in his generosity
Do not limit him to past and future

20. The light of your justice has no denier
Like the width of your munificence has no shore

21. I hoped in you to meet my needs
And with you no seeker's effort fails

22. And composed verses with meanings about you
And with you no worker's wage is lost

23. Of a people nothing uglier to them
Than cutting off kin and refusing a seeker

24. The suns of truth rose up from your horizons
And by your justice the stars of falsehood vanished

25. All were brought near by your justice and bestowal
Who in existence, scholar or ignorant, does not praise you

26. So let me abundantly thank your bountiful hands
For it comes quickly to help me in urgency

27. And may the feast of breaking fast be delightful, for you are its feast
And may every other feast be delightful after it

28. Relax, feast, greet peace, blood, and what the doves cooed
Above the leaning branch

29. Or a longing lover for his homelands
Or lightning flashed in pouring clouds
