1. A land where ruins of dwellings weep
Were it not for the dust raised by the wind, they would not be recognized

2. It was trodden by feet and so its soil gave off
The fragrance of herbs together with tarragon

3. A place where loved ones stood in the soil
And tears like pearls were shed

4. Time has erased its landmarks and scattered them
At the hands of fate, in the faces of time

5. I stood, bereft of tears
My companions stopped with me for our guide

6. I envied what ruins remained there
Suffering for them with a sad, fleeting glance

7. I persistently asked about its relics
But asking insistently leads to being deprived

8. So let us perceive it in our hearts, with clear perception
Feeling longing and regret for the departed

9. It is as though Muhammad beseeched rain for them
So their features have life in decoration

10. He asked the clouds and they poured down their bounty
A glistening rain from them, gently streaming

11. Intertwining branches that the morning breeze unravels
And folds up like the fluttering of wings

12. Spring has settled in it, undiminished
By the howling heat of a blazing summer

13. My hopes carried me to you, O daughter of the garden
A proud one who was not mounted by a virile stud

14. She conceived and carried the fertilized egg
And ovulated during her period of heat

15. Then she came to my abode while bearing her daughters
Striding awkwardly upon arthritic knees

16. She was serviced by a knowledgeable one with his males
An excellent fit for her innate disposition

17. Until when she was done, nothing of
What she reserved made him lose vigor

18. She came to me bleating, with elegant tread
Kicking with her hindlegs and waggy tail

19. Slithering into hollows whose depths
Were decreed by the deeds of Muhammad’s time

20. Then she separated from me and I became her unborn
Lodged securely in the womb’s enclosure

21. If you trip over the company, remember Him
So the dark night passes beneath me

22. After her labor, her husband came to her
An old man with the stature of a young lad

23. Crooked, yanking on the reins and shuffling
Crookedly, amusing even the fly whisk

24. She frisked with the vigor of life in her udders
And fell like a snake on smooth stone

25. May God protect you while the devil terrifies her shadow
She came to you, exceeding the dream of the best women

26. Whoever intends sincere advice for her
Muhammad is best in advice, without excess

27. You have shown me mercy and splendor
So they blamed the tyrant, the transgressor

28. In God, He fulfils His promise and warning
To the blameworthy and the arrogant refractory one

29. You have comforted the hearts of the flock
An intelligent heart, beyond a sharp tongue

30. No pen can suffice to help him
A thousand polished and cultivated men

31. With the palms of substitutions, if they lead aright
Acting by what is in the Book

32. Alluring eyes tempt with amorous glances
Harboring treachery, without coquetry
