1. May God have mercy upon him who turned away and left me,
With his indifference that devastated my home.

2. With the same soul that settled in my heart,
While my heart cannot settle in one place.

3. Whenever I say my heart has cooled,
A glance from him rekindles its flame.

4. And if I want to approach a beloved,
So I may succeed, he flees even more.

5. By the One who made my heart and body grieve,
And pained me with his indifference and aloofness.

6. And strangely he said "be patient,"
How can I be patient when passion burns?

7. The earth tightened around me from passion,
Just as his robe and loincloth tightened around him.

8. My illness, affliction, medicine,
And sickness are from what his wine contains.

9. O rose in his cheek, whenever I desired him
He pushed me away, and the moment added to his redness.

10. The glances of his eyelids brought me
Delight and made my heart yearn in anticipation.

11. My illness will only be cured by his cheek,
His brilliance, his smile, and his reproach.

12. They depicted my love with the redness of his cheek,
Deafening my heart, though it was already resigned.

13. I don't know if his satisfaction lies
In my demise, and if this is his choice,

14. The more aloofness he showed, the more love I gave,
Thus is the way for those with mighty resolve.

15. I remained loving him throughout my life,
While he rejoiced in my humiliation and defeat.

16. Whenever he saw me madly craving
His love, his wandering and arrogance increased.

17. I have been frustrated with loving him as much as
His bracelets have been loosened around his wrists.

18. I will not elaborate in describing this passion,
For the best description of passionate love is brevity.

19. Indeed, the best of descriptions praising the best of people
Is succinct, so your choice suffices me.

20. He is the son of the just Imam,
Whose fame is well known.

21. He is the perfect, generous, prestigious,
Just, hardworking, mighty, lofty elite.

22. The valiant, steadfast, strong, exalted,
Sublime hero whose weapons are impeccable.

23. The guardian, ruler, righteous, protector,
Speaker, doer, revered by his neighbor.

24. The brave, fierce, generous, ransomed one,
The knowledgeable, active, kind merchant.

25. He has surpassed people in rank, pride,
And capability, his superiority extending through the lands.

26. O generous one, congeniality, kindness,
And munificence are his emblems.

27. He is a downpour whose rain cannot be contained,
Rather, a deluge with unlimited abundance.

28. Delightful greetings from a brother of sincerity and affection,
Whose private sentiments concur with his public ones.

29. From a loving one whose poetry is not motivated
By praise of others, for none but you merit his verse,

30. In meters like glistening matched pearls
Or sorrow that dawned generosity, so its flowers shone.
