1. My soul's beloved, my wish, and my passion
Thinking of you delights me, and talking of you enchants me

2. I have no fear of blame, rather
Only those blame who have not seen your radiant face

3. Hear, oh my soul who I sacrifice for you, the lament of a lover
In whose heart burns the embers of passion’s fire

4. My heart is devoted to yearning and fervor
My gaze is distracted by tears and vigil

5. Nothing remains in the heart you melted away
Of steadfastness, O light of my eyes, no trace

6. O fresh branch who has none but the abandoned encampment
As pasture, and none but tears, rose and breast as company

7. I made my home in your heart yet still
The arrow of your coldness pierces it until it breaks

8. I saw you, loved you, was passionate for you
Yet you turned away, rejected me, and abandoned me

9. I am not alone captive to your charm
For each charm has a hundred captives like me

10. Your black tresses darkened only when they became
A resting place for the suns of your radiant forehead

11. I have nothing but patience for your sentry
And he who harvests roses endures the thorns

12. The blossoms of bliss are in the garden of your cheeks
With fragrance, like it the blossoms of henna

13. Your charming glances took the attributes of your beauty
A turn of the neck, a fluttering of eyelids, a gaze

14. The dawn took its light from your brilliance
And that light shone fully in the moon

15. O your mouth, with the mixing of the breeze
That's within you with honey - the quintessence of sweetness

16. A people unaware dove for pearls
Though that mouth holds the most precious gems

17. Your amorous gazes' arrows must protect
Lips on which honeybees alight and suckle

18. I see you, O full moon, claiming beauty
Though that is a claim that cannot be believed

19. You only increase in beauty, radiance and joy
While the accustomed decline and change

20. You, O fresh branch and O basil, have not told
Of a balance or fairness from him

21. The rising of lovers is from his stature
So it's right their sight turns only toward it

22. A branch adorned with jewelry amazed them
A branch that bears pearls as fruit

23. The girdle carouses around the waist, relating
The sweetest beneficial discourse in summary

24. And his piercing gaze is bewitching
Transmitting the legends of Babel like news

25. Who did not flee in fear, I did not find
Except for him a refuge from the sword of his eyes

26. Who has not witnessed the devastation of his gaze
Does not know the meaning of destiny and fate

27. I ransom a beloved who did not attend a school
To excel in script and recite books

28. And each glance holds a lesson of wisdom
For a thousand astute and insightful writers

29. Say to the one who desired my company that I have
No companionship so disregard the enchanting talk

30. For I do not listen to any speech but his
Who is the speech of the Master of Men

31. Muhammad the Chosen One and the Light that
Illuminated all existence when it shone

32. The one God chose from all people for Him
A secret of Quraysh, and Quraysh from Mudar

33. The night of his birth was a sign
In the earth and sky that came with a warning

34. So the palace split open, and
The ancient Magian fire was extinguished

35. A lake surged and a fire was quenched
And the dream of the Mobedan brought danger

36. Khosrow felt fear in himself
And the soothsayer warned him of it

37. So Khosrow's power was broken right then
A breaking night's days will not mend

38. As if the end of his kingdom's date
Was the Prophet's birthday night

39. So if their waters receded, it filled
The sea of bounty and overflowed

40. And if their fires are extinguished
The true light has shone and travelled

41. He guided people who had clung
To misguidance, worshipping idols

42. He saved them from the dark night of Ignorance
With its endless injustice and gloom

43. They disputed with him, yet he arbitrated their dispute
They fought him, and over them he was victorious

44. He bore two swords - an eloquent tongue
Incisive and with both triumphant

45. A hand that gives hands and a hand
That destroys enemies with the sharp blade

46. As if that sword in his grip
And generosity in it, lightning flashed and rained

47. God sent him perfecting
The noble traits of character of all mankind

48. He created the finest moral character and natural disposition
And the secret in the wondrous making is apparent

49. God has not taken a beloved but him
So how can He not create the most beautiful form?

50. An allusion to his beauty descended
In Joseph "This is not a mortal" - a clear verse

51. Meaning has been exhausted praising one whose
Merits every meaning is newly innovated

52. His attributes are caves - no limit to them
Though they make the eloquent feel confined

53. As if from the overflowing of his gifts
The water of life flowed, and the barren land was quenched

54. He gives life to the feeble, for he is the one
Through whose mysteries Jesus came with wonders

55. The moon split for him, and the pebbles
In the palm and staff glorified him and regained life

56. And said "This is the miracle worker of God, so who
Among you can parallel a chapter of the Quran's chapters?"

57. Had they been able to parallel it they would not have fought
Yet it is easier for them than abundance and conquest

58. The chieftains of Quraysh all became
Between released and killed, utterly routed

59. They tasted his mighty valiance at Badr
And witnessed his magnanimous pardon at the Conquest

60. The Merciful supported him with his cousin
Excellent help, ally, and vizier

61. Ali was his hand and sword
Striking those who rebelled and disbelieved through him

62. He routed Quraysh and exterminated Khaybar
And toppled Amr with a sharp-bladed sword

63. He repelled Hawazin and others at Hunayn in defeat
Making them flee and retreat

64. At Badr, his sword shone
A sun by which darkness was lit and retreated

65. Has anyone but him in any battle
Defended the religion, consoled, and gave victory?

66. Until the religion of guidance settled
In the pitfalls of turmoil, were it not for Ali it would not have settled

67. O you who drinks other than loyalty to Haydar
How can you be content with filth instead of nectar?

68. I praised in Ahmad's praise Ali
Since they are one soul in inspiration and trace

69. Look to the brotherhood between them
It is wondrous rhyming with dangerous import

70. O light that has come to us
With the light of signs, revelations and chapters

71. You have guided us with revelation and tradition
O guide, through chapters and conduct

72. The seal of the prophethood that began
Before creation and beings in the time of particles

73. Be for me an intercessor on the day no intercession
Can be but through you, so every sin is forgiven

74. May God send prayers upon you as long as the morning breeze blows
Spreading your virtues, not the blossoms of flowers

75. And your family, the elite caves, and those
Of your family, the brilliant elite pearls
