1. The turning of stars is not to stay
What sprouts is neither vile nor decay

2. Winds blew for our loved ones
Other than it and no unwholesomeness

3. The beauty of the night of perfection
The eye of an owl, an old ruined nest

4. Among the anklets, braids, and headbands
Fragrance, musk, and pleasant scents

5. From every doe who lowers her veil
With her thin dress and ornaments

6. Like a limping deer, I chased it
To a noisy spinning wheel it went

7. My thighs enjoyed the smooth skin
Of foxes, rabbits, and fawn hence

8. And a beautiful lover with parted hills
Crossing plains and lowlands since

9. The camel-herd was never blamed in its dwellings
Since the era of Noah and the time of Seth

10. As if the ostrich's voice within
When the voice of one crying for help

11. I shortened its pace, it slid
Down the cheek in quick swift

12. Of every crooked gelding
And each dirty camel stud

13. With swaying gait, its walk wobbling
And one filthy, soiling what it trod

14. Seeking from Moses' promised word
Other than tergiversating or violating the pledge

15. The crosses of Moses, when adorned
For people, grew devoid of any clouds

16. Where dew and rain come together
And refuge for the worried weak

17. Where the cups of drinking roam
Without crossing any limits or borders

18. And glory from an ancient lineage
Then from a noble recent source

19. If you trace its lineage you'll find
One who avenges the avenger of the slain

20. And snakes, serpents for a youth
Who wreaks havoc on the minds of fools

21. Death comes subjugated
Standing over its terrible venom

22. With its two sharp blades, angrily
Other than to bite or to be tender

23. A lion but he is a pigeon
Who poured revenge on the lions

24. Deny the cups of drinking what was not
Permissible of grass and corpses

25. What is generosity with generosity? Or do you see it
As little or worthless?

26. The journey was long so blame came
From a sincere loving friend

27. Take it, for it did not reach it with any deficiency
The death of al-Jurayri or the resurrector

28. And be generous, you will find one generous
In praising you, O helper of the seekers
