1. Everyone's vision deluded, for sure you've pardoned the praiseworthy Hamid
And for denouncing Ruzayy, that suffices as witness.

2. A blood-revenge as if separation became demanding
Blood from her tranquility and grudges.

3. You brought the wandering hearts closer through passion
And left the evil of tears in you distant.

4. Degraded if the teardrops do not cease falling for her
And homeland the restless sought expelled.

5. The stances of gallants do not fold, did not visit
Glory and did not eulogize for them a place.

6. You reminded us of the king gone astray in passion
And al-A'sha and Tarafa and Labid.

7. They dissolved the ties of lineage and softly crooned
From her tattoo bracelets for her and ode.

8. My passion of life went from you passionately
Donning remoteness sometimes and aloofness other times.

9. Of every fully mature in youth, when she appeared
She left the chief of both encampments, a chief.

10. They were infatuated with polished libertines
A herd they befriended gentle, a herd.

11. Does and goats on hillocks for them
Prey, their nights seeming to them amorous play.

12. They inherited fatherliness and fortunes so they became
Bringers of ancestry on high and ancestry below.

13. The souls' dens when the stars of Qa'adhab
Let loose the ghoul of chaos the accursed.

14. Flowers when they rise over kidneys' veils
Are inauspicious, and if hidden, bring bliss.

15. You see none but a purposeful leader
Under the standard, and an agent with purpose.

16. So they rushed to the dense, multiplied troop, and donned
Among them iron, in affairs iron.

17. And they walked before Abu Yazid and behind him
A walk that shakes the crumbling mountains.

18. Their lower flanks they shield with the flank of a stab
Of spear and uglier blow of thick-clubbed one.

19. You do not see the pedigrees white and pure
Except where you see the deaths black.

20. He wore courage, it was for him
A foot accustomed early in boyhood to wound.

21. Scarce valor and the valor of generosity
Compact, and the valor of innate disposition.

22. And if you see Abu Yazid in softness
And fervor the starter of a raid and repeat raider

23. He feeds his pursuer the possessions of his wealth
And the lips of the swords a wound and vein.

24. You'd be certain that from generosity is courage
That makes bloody, and that from courage is openhandedness.

25. And if you let your eyes roam about his abodes
You find none but bounty and envious.

26. And noble deeds the emancipation of craftsmen multiplied
If the plateau of the two Amayat is long lasting

27. And whenever you resort to him, you attain his effort
And after the effort find in him increase.

28. Ablaze from it the times, and perhaps
The times with others were stagnant.

29. May Yazid and Mazid and their father
And your father, your pillar in glory, endure

30. They preceded, seeing mention a righteous sequel
And passed esteeming praise eternity.

31. Verily the rhymes and endeavors never ceased
To be like order if it meets unmatched.

32. It is essence, prose, so if you compile it
Into verse, it becomes necklaces and covenants.

33. In every battlefield and every stand
They take from it obligation and covenants.

34. So when the odes were not its sentinels
It was not pleased with it a witnessed scene.

35. For that reason the first Arabs
Called this firmly constructed, delineated.

36. And with them glory rises only a glory
For which the purpose of the ode was fettered.

37. So when the odes were not its guards
It was not pleased from it a scene witnessed.

38. For that the first Arabs
Called this firmly constructed, delineated.

39. And glory rises with them only a glory
That had the bitterness of the ode fettered.
