1. Love is a bitter medicine
That overwhelms insight and vision

2. Where can I escape when passion resides
In my heart with changing abodes

3. I'm a man worn out by his love
If he conceals his inner thoughts

4. It has conquered his wings from
Calm with its alluring chirp

5. It trembles like a delicate branch
With no equal to be found

6. It carried high upon its shoulders in the dark
Of night the sun of midday

7. I see you a miracle whose mouth is a precious pearl
Bashfully diminishing the radiant flowers

8. Sweetly tormenting my affection
Quenching me with bitterness

9. And of wonders is that I find myself
Obedient, loving its tyranny

10. And I see for it against me that
I become its captive

11. While the passion exhausts itself, and towards
Destruction you see its fate

12. The beauty of my beloved has vanished
From my eyes, its meaning and form

13. And my nature has been hindered
From its abundant rhymes

14. And I recoiled from assailing the enemy on
The day of battle, my hands too short

15. And I claimed that stinginess
Remains in me over generosity

16. And I attributed my origin to Syria
And excused my family in the peninsula

17. If I, my Master, my aid
Of the well-bred and clan

18. O Mustafa most high whom
His clear springs have purified

19. Have not recited verses of your glory
One chapter after another

20. Or if I was dissuaded from
Loving you by harm or need

21. When I am one who has made
Praising you in life my companion

22. Until my mouth upon it
Is envied if I uttered another

23. I did not sleep from it so do not sleep
Your bright eyes from me

24. And for you is praise for the position you have
Allotted with which the greatest conquests

25. You have granted it generously without request
And were not consulting

26. Information about it, and the matter is more successful
With that which an expert undertakes

27. So you have followed the path of truth in
Its sections and chosen the best

28. And you have acted with all justice in
Its rulings and erased tyranny

29. And justice in the world, one sees it
In the hereafter as a supporter

30. And you have appeared with benevolence, and benevolence
Its appearance does not stay hidden

31. And you have taught that fate
Is hours and fleeting times

32. It has mixed clarity for us apart from you
From springs with turbidity

33. And for long, God forbid, we have been
Angry in haste, happiness

34. So by your grace in existence
Is an effect and famed trace

35. We relate your narration as
Abu Hurairah relates hadith

36. And soon the lofty positions
Will rise like the lowly

37. For glory hopes to see you
As trustee and leader

38. And to you goes pure praise from
The plateau of the bed and pillow

39. Were it not for you I would not have set free
From it lines of poetry

40. For we are in a time wherein
Poets were not given barley

41. If in it lived Jarir
None would vie but his equal

42. So submit to veil his faults through you
For the fault of time is a disgrace

43.
