1. Rise with us, for fate has helped us,
And good living has come by fate's decree.

2. How high man's fate rises, and what his fate is!
So let us milk the hanging fruits if we find fate.

3. For he is valiant who gains joy if he finds fate.
Now time is clear, and safety,

4. The place and means are prosperous,
The brothers and aides are helpful,

5. And eras have kept their pact.
Time has repented of its missteps and apologized.

6. O Saad, leave mention of Bani Lala'i
And a life that turned in the valley of Al-Ajraa'.

7. If you can hear my words and comprehend,
Then till the echo of my heart and delight my hearing

8. With the twang of strings - touch not the lute!
Leave the tall ones, known by their brand,

9. And four whose shape alone remains,
Make the soul's joy their fairest portion,

10. And enter with us in searching them - yes, brand them!
And spare me mention of what was and news.

11. Do you not see the birds in October
Yearning, their longing manifest,

12. Some of them moaning from their sighing
When they trill towards the limpid waters,

13. Urged by longing, held back by caution?
These partridges wandering at dawn,

14. Arranged or circling like a mill,
If they see overflowing water in the meadow,

15. They scatter when they arrive to drink merrily,
Not knowing death lies in their breasts.

16. O their beauty, arriving on time,
Tempting the hunters with her lovely attributes!

17. Poised in flight if she reaches her path,
He shoots her with a rifle from below.

18. If only it were said to rain from above!
If only you could see us among brethren of purity

19. Around an old jug whose froth has cleared,
Renowned for honesty, who fulfilled his word,

20. Never wronging a friend if he erred,
Nor saying, "Bestow on me," nor planting a tree.

21. Each who rivaled in generosity,
With hands like the crescent moon adorned,

22. Curly-haired, with prominent heels,
As if, when clasped, the disks would touch,

23. The goblet would not crack nor the lute break.
So take us to the meadows of Famiya,

24. Between prairies and swelling waters -
Those meadows whose heights we never abandoned,

25. So call us to their Sublime Lord,
And spare me a town full of lies.

26. Look at the birds in their flight
And consider the hawks as you consider them.

27. They fly not with any but their kind.
So put not yourself above your measure

28. With other than your own and beware.
Or incline to the depths with piercing resolve,

29. For it is of the finest traits.
Marvel at what curiosities it contains

30. Of meadows, thickets, and obligations -
Its kinds are numbered, they cannot be recalled.

31. One said, "Describe them in clear symbols,"
For they are a major benefit

32. And good deeds after you, wholesome ones.
I said, "Refuse, and disobey every insolent one.

33. These are their tools when considered."
If you wish to explain them to one who asks

34. Without symbols teasing the mind
And limiting their names with a full count,

35. They are like half the gear of dwellings
Or less the prohibited from the number of walls:

36. Partridge, starling, sandgrouse and perfect,
Chukar, stone-curlew, and old red-legged,

37. Black francolin, if they are safe,
And habituated, to the friendly one -

38. Hawk, eagle, and falcon have broken.
Six carried by feet,

39. Then eight with wings they carry.
Only what accrues is counted,

40. Wholeness of limbs being a condition that includes,
So no wing appears cut short in flight.

41. A valid code for al-Nasir the Imam,
Measured by the noble, pure law.

42. Every jurist free of confusion verified it,
So it came like the noble, inhabited house,

43. Its foundation truth, its pillar consideration.
It forbids shooting arrows there

44. And drinking alcohol for pleasure,
Selling any of the shooter's equipment,

45. Or racing companions to the station.
Conditions and permits are invalid there.

46. One said, "Perhaps you may be safe,"
And the like in something that necessitates,

47. Or what is understood in the proper manner -
Three of guesses grant immunity,

48. Ships of salvation for one fearing harm.
If you wish their clarification for the questioner

49. Without a symbol teasing the mind,
And limiting all their names with a full count,

50. Or less the forbidden from the count of walls:
Partridge, starling, sandgrouse and perfect,

51. Chukar, stone-curlew, and old red-legged,
Black francolin, if they are safe,

52. And habituated, to the friendly one -
Hawk, eagle, and falcon have broken.

53. So look at the blooms of the garden coming
When the rain of pouring clouds poured on them,

54. Their fragrance wafting from the headcloth
As if mention of the best King,

55. When the delegation covers them in earth and diffuses.
Heir to the knowledge of King al-Mu'ayyad,

56. A valid heir, noble from a noble one.
He unleashed my speech, which was constrained,

57. So if I compose good poetry in it,
I'll be like one smoothly transferring to Hajar.

58. Sons of the Ayyubids, pillars of guidance
And brilliant stars when night darkens,

59. And early rain before the downpour -
Every gallant youth who rightly ruled the lands

60. Was like Luqman in wisdom and Umar in justice.
Sheathing the gazelles in meadows and mountain-goats,

61. Satisfying the wild beasts of plain and cliff,
Sending the pouring rain of sublime clouds -

62. Their excellence is in inheritance and inspiration,
Not like one who hoarded and boasted of origin.

63. My lord, you honored my resting place and raised my mention
Until I forgot my den and burrow,

64. And if I apply my mind to your loftiness,
I have no reward but good gratitude -

65. And the best reward has come from gratitude.
O bearer of burdens and fears,

66. Reconciler of enemies and wealth,
Speaker of true promises and words,

67. You showed in dire straits
Patience, so patience was its requital, victory.

68.
You attained the capricious rain of generosity beyond what it desired

69. And your palm hurried to slap whoever desired.
You have soared in bounty and fray

70. Until when the rebel of a kingdom stirred,
You seized him with the grip of a mighty, potent one.

71. Though I was vehement praising you,
With the goodness of open commendation that filled,

72. I sought only love, not praise,
If I die one day with only loyalty

73. And well-crafted verse in you, if you are absent.
