1. To whom do the skillful workers make jewelry?
I was dazzled by the whiteness of their shining faces.

2. They look like crescents and gazelles.
Their weeping enchants the singer.

3. My tears are like pearls and necklaces on their delicate branches,
As if they are the whiteness of hopes and black destinies.

4. Haifa merged her waist into her hips,
Bringing together the existent and non-existent.

5. The spaces radiate her breaths,
So dreams lean towards her and deviate.

6. It's as if there is a shining drop in every place she gathered,
And every pole is erect.

7. As if the thickets of lances surround her,
Darkened by black tips of spears.

8. They watch for the likeness of a furtive glance,
A guardian anticipating beautiful captured prey.

9. If they only saw the radiance of the magic of her eyes,
It would fulfill, and nothing can avert destiny.

10. The beautiful eyelash is not the beautiful sword,
Nor the curved strike my demise.

11. With her glance, not the rider of her glance,
I am lost among the slanderers.

12. Her stature is not like her crooked people’s,
The curved is fortunate and the straight is killed.

13. Oh daughter, your glory is like her father’s glory,
And you are generous, though not exceeding in generosity.

14. I would sacrifice myself for you, even your stinginess is lovely,
And stinginess in the veiled ladies is praiseworthy.

15. Your anklets departed from all but you, so there is nothing
I ascended to with ladder or causeway.

16. But they are our hearts that have no skin or bones,
No hides upon them.

17. As if, without sobbing and crying,
Nothing would remain of us but eyes and cheeks.

18. As if the singing girls' repulsion and affection
Are transient displays, and the essence is lost.

19. Their vows of loyalty are dependent,
For the likes of them, pacts do not last.

20. And I am blamed if attaining union with her is prevented,
When will your frozen rigidity soften?

21. We did not know our way and did not fulfill wishes
Like the confused, neither sharing nor professing oneness.

22. So let the envious refrain, for whoever reaps
Other than the planting of love is envied.

23. And let the praisers approach me,
For Muhammad the Trustworthy Guardian is praised.

24. Chief of assemblies, son of the chief of the faith,
Famous for his merits and supreme knowledge witnessed.

25. Key to the treasured store of realities,
Indeed its realities are a treasured store.

26. Lamp of the lights of guidance and true guidance,
Its light is kindled by its people’s minaret.

27. A banner detached to the end in deterrence,
The least interpretation of his words is detachment.

28. From a family whose branches their roots irrigated,
And the taste of their ripe fruits is sweet.

29. Their knowledge exalted them in both worlds,
And for knowledge there is no increase over its height.

30. They were granted happiness, and the prosperous through his knowledge,
Wisdom and judgment are fortunate.

31. Oh best of those who protected our strongholds through him,
And through him power and construction are exalted.

32. And through his justice the injustice of others vanished,
And tyranny erases its preliminary outline.

33. Justice is a stronger haven than a complaint,
Whose overflowing downpour is constant.

34. I watch every flash of a fine sword,
For merit with you is a flowing spring.

35. Why should I embark on aspirations when ancestors
Held us back from rising so many times?

36. How often does the attainment of wealth make
The coward emerge and the brave recoil?

37. Fate's portioning judges with it,
Making the courageous miserable and the coward happy.

38. And to you I complain of my state, knowing that one who complains
To the black-haired will be granted black hair.

39. I do not single out any merit hoped for in life
Other than generosity, which is peerless.

40. The generous sought your supreme path of generosity,
Yet they have no existence next to you.

41. Your fortune's star, though the best of the best,
If it is said to resemble them in shape, it is a cluster.

42. Your generosity in divine existence was general,
Raining and seven seas gushing.

43. Your merit preoccupies the meritorious
As your glory preoccupies glorification.

44. As a whole encompasses every individual in it,
Yet it is an individual counted with them.

45. A man has not completed the qualities of his perfection
In merit, so his essence cannot be defined.

46. Take it as a unique pearl in a necklace of unique pearls,
For you are unique among the generous.

47. A captivating beauty, naught but glances,
A maiden, soft and supple.

48. If she glanced with the order of her flowing tresses,
She would topple many an infatuated fool.

49. But she is not called faithful in her praise,
Since fulfilling your right, people are witnesses.

50. For some of your traits are borrowed by her appearance,
And what is borrowed is returned to its owners.

51. As such, the rain showers the live tree,
Even though it extends from its waters.

52. I submit, for you are the life of our time,
And the comets of my cheeks are guided by your light.

53. For the radiance of your command, every hearing limb
And your eternal glory and empowerment.
