1. You are not you, nor are the dwellings still dwellings
Love has diminished and the times have turned

2. Being neighbors with the hills and their people
Was once painful like being pierced by thorns, and now they are seas

3. Days that make their eyes tearful, those tears
In which their hearts moon and the moons are eclipsed

4. When neither As-Sadouf nor Al-Kanoud we named them
Like two meanings without any light or illumination

5. White, so when they get up at dawn they are images
And forms when gazing at them in the darkness

6. Where the conversation is tested for the youth
And the secrets are fortified and the secrets are secrets

7. When in barren ground, the most barren dale
There is fruit and the passing days are verdant

8. The news has openly declared about its essence
And the cities were glad for your openings

9. A luminous news that rusted the hearts from its brilliance
When it shone that it was true daylight

10. If not for the resolve of Abu Saeed, the throat (frontier)
Would still grieve, having no breastplate upon it

11. You led the steeds as if they were
Warriors over the lands of Darouliyeh, seeking their dens

12. Until the neighing from hoofs of his cavalry
Reached the walls of Constantinople like a storm

13. You ignited, from beyond the Gulf, a fire for its people
That has embers beyond the Gulf

14. Unless it was besieged, it has now become
Out of fear of the attack of the siege, a siege

15. If the horses had obeyed you, you would not return with them
With shackles - and shackles contain no nail

16. When they met you, they entrusted themselves to you and apologized
Fleeing, but the apology did not benefit them

17. So there is the fire of war kindling and here is an army
That has fury and cunning shelters

18. They submitted to your assault that is like death to them
Which comes with no dishonor

19. When you isolated them from the paths to them
With a desolate ground that has no vegetation

20. If he travels early the abodes guide him
Or travels at night so the stars are lanterns

21. Thus, the white eminence is an appointment for them
And the shackle is destiny and the Gulf is a banner

22. They knew that the invasion was like it
An invasion, and that invasion from you is supreme

23. So walking is whispering and calling is signalling
Fearing your revenge and speech is secrets

24. Unless Minuel, edges of the spear, turns away
Or the white one turns from it, and it is heated

25. He wished that every city was
A deaf mountain and every fortress a cave

26. Unless you flee, you have resolved, and your eyes have seen
The extent of war, how it can be fled

27. Where you hear the commotion when it intensifies
And see the birds of death when they flap

28. So look with the eye of courage and you will know
That remaining where you were is fleeing

29. When their remnants came to you, you gave them
Earlier tidings, and they were plenty

30. And you gave examples of the disgraced, and you can see
That other than this is breach and passage

31. Patience is more beautiful, and destiny is imposed
So consent to it, and the evil in it is good

32. How the ear has pulled you to listen to the slanderers
It gives the tongue whatever it wants

33. He would have passed even if the fire was before him
With the sword, unless the fire was an ally

34. Until the truth returns, and it is the only demand
From you, and the religion has no vengeance in you

35. Praise be to Abu Saeed, he is pure
Hospitality for the guest, no deficiency in it

36. When you liberated the frontier, it became high
For Rome from that neighborhood, a neighborhood

37. And they were certain when your sea raged and that
Roaring reverberated and the visiting was dear

38. That you are not a good neighbor for the old ways
Unless you were a terrible neighbor indeed

39. Awake, fearing that the polytheists would assail him
Humble, so even the tyrant yields to him

40. Meek, his riding animals when his journeys
Delay, so his worries are journeys

41. He travels when worries travel as if he is
The star of darkness, attacking when attacking

42. Their veins have carried him in a group
The axis of calamity, a pillar and revolving for them

43. They do not mind if they fatten while
Their lifespans diminish and the years descend

44. Frowning in his planting, his supporters
When battling as if they are supporters

45. Rude in the manner of traders, and they
Tomorrow, with what they hoarded for him, are traders

46. And tested, given to drink of his might
So when they meet it is as if they are floods

47. Insistent with steadfastness for the critic, meeting him
Is a grave danger when the brave one endangers

48. And the white ones know he did not waste a debt
Since he gave it to them, and no bridle was lost

49. And when the stiff-necked, twisted one flew, their arrows
Slaughter locusts, the arrows fly when flown

50. Their bow-strings guaranteed and their strings pledged
To snap the strings

51. So leave the path, O son of the path, to a scholar
Indeed, the huge caravan is steered

52. If your hands were long, they would fall
Short of him, so how can they be while short

53. He is the star of Islam, what darkness
Does he pierce that the disbelief therein is pustules

54. You left their land with your horses in the calamity
As if their most invincible had a racecourse

55. And you stayed in it, slowly, until we thought
It was your abode

56. With the kingdom pleased from you, sustainer of its greatness
Satisfied, and the world settled upon you

57. And I saw the meadows laden and fertile
Since you were in them and the clouds were rain

58. Our days are burnished, their edges
By you, and all the nights are daybreak

59. Your chastity guides the chaste, and you have breakfast
Gently with your visitors, the visitors

60. My resolves are suspended upon you, their necks
Bound, indeed loyalty is fetters

61. And my love for you is not shamed, but when
The full moons of the heart are shamed

62. And people other than you, if my love for them
Changed when they departed, did they help or protect?

63. And for that my poetry about you - they have heard of it
Magic, and my poems to them are poems

64. So be safe, and do not cease, may you be fortunate
Among us, and may the destinies fall short of you
