1. When souls fall in love with themselves
Sorrows weary them, and sorrow makes them weary

2. Was I destined to be deprived of the bliss of love?
Alone, denied wishes and company?

3. Oh, how many burning sorrows in my guts
Yearning for the beloved's pillows in agony

4. If only a fruitful branch would grow from it
A moon diminishing doubts and suspicions

5. With it my imagination came alive
Secretly, and the one who concealed the visit was secretive

6. And a companion of the caravan hovered around me
Watching, while my secret in the darkness was uneasy

7. He wanted to unload his luggage
As if his camel was restless and loaded

8. On a very dark night not like any other
We thought it was a sunny day

9. The beautiful shining light eliminates
The darkness of each murky night

10. So he went back not turning
To his tracks or twisting the peg

11. Fearing for his beloved from his guardian
The lover's fear that she may be touched

12. And from the slanderers necklaces and braids
That do not settle, suspicious and cautious

13. So I regretted losing my absent love
And instead depression took over me

14. And if I am prevented from seeing the image of the loved one
When will the gazelles attain the fenced off

15. I have despaired of wishes; it is right for the deluded
Time and its people to despair

16. Princes who are vain, in their ignorance
A vicious wolf appears to them in the garment of a fox

17. They do not hope for anything but death
Except the supreme head and the rational hope for heads

18. And the most generous, son of the most generous
Our cups overflowed and the orchards thrived

19. From a family who surpassed in praise
So it remained a sanctuary for them in time

20. Armored with flowing generosity
Laid down as a duty and forgiven as a penalty

21. So every reckless stray arrow rebounded off them
While their arrow hit and pierced

22. Inheriting glory from father to son
Like the inheritance of the five companions of the cloak

23. You have honored them in the two worlds, why wouldn’t
A structure built on piety rise high?

24. It is they who have surpassed in what
They built and through building the council rose high

25. A roaring lion in times of crisis and fear
And glory accompanies the most resolute of the brave

26. Woe to those who opposed them wrongfully
Worthy of going astray and failing

27. The virtues of the virtuous cannot be grasped
By the most unfair miser who got the least fortune

28. O son of great men, they have no shortcoming
Except that they left the eloquent silent

29. Welcome to the one whose steps
Heads bow down humbly to

30. If only we could spread our eyelids
As a floor for them or spread silk

31. If only we were the pasture of spring and its horses
That would graze our cheeks and basil

32. You have bestowed us with the delight of meeting you
Our hearts have been possessed by it

33. And a dear one attained the honor of your rule secondly
So it shone and your isolation dimmed

34. As if I mean the son of the highest head
The ground has been tread upon and the groom said enough

35. Its ground of potions is sufficient for the seeker
That he does not remain climbing and descending

36. You are the one whom if his palms were shaken for years
Yusuf's life would not be enough

37. You are the one whose favors copied by hands
No wishful thinking nor hoping remains

38. You are the one who filled up chests with love
From anyone else, no whispering remains

39. May your Lord protect you from envious ones even if
The extent of your being reaches and touches

40. Indeed the sky is high in its place
But was unable to avoid meteors because of its height

41. It is enough harm for you, is it a bald old hag
Ugly, she appeared ugly in clothing

42. She looks beautiful to a critic
An investigator would see an old flirt

43. Like snakes, its limbs
Rough natured, and you are soft

44. Evil to anyone from her children just as
In past times she was evil to her children Al-Afṭas

45. She remained as time remained so it
In your existence, is good in what it has ordained

46. I have faced through it tremendous adversities
Were it not for you, I wouldn't have been able to breathe

47. It is as if your generosity tore up my page
Until I was saved and it left me untouched

48. It is as if I cunningly escaped from its clutches
And instead you became a loving father and I the rescued

49. My insides blaze from your wisdom
And your palm cools a feverish forehead

50. Like Indian steel polished with its waters
Worthy for the Frank’s fire to be lit

51. The best of creation in your eyes so they are
Like the philosopher, burrowing and clever

52. And it is as if in every house its shrewdness
From it, it includes a composed architect

53. And poetry - what wisdom was difficult for you
Not what excites you, the most eloquent being useless babble

54. So be safe and willing for I will eulogize you
If Al-Abbasi had aspired to eulogize you he would have failed

55. The generous Arabs understand meanings
And you render Fāris dead in eloquence

56. And I censure your envious ones in praising you
And the lion - who praises him blames Al-Hijras
