1. I complain, so you hastily blame me, and I fall silent
And I incline towards beautiful patience, so you resent

2. And your eyes deny their tears with weeping
And you believe the slanderer in what he utters

3. Is not love always a source of confusion
To which these flaws appear and which creates them

4. Who of my critics will judge fairly
So a ferocious beast pounces on him without mercy

5. In her chest is a wide path of perfidy
And her mouth is a narrow door of forgiveness

6. Like a meadow, she is melodious, except that she
Is chaste, the requester of her affection goes unrewarded

7. I wonder how I adore her glance
When I am the one torn by her arrows

8. And I imagine her sweetened saliva is cold
And with a sip of it I become inflamed and overwhelmed

9. And when her cheek touches my mouth, I have no
Complaint, though it scorches me when distant

10. I fear the causes of death, yet her door
Remains open, so long as I am obedient to her love

11. She has a nature that melts hearts and is craved
Like fire that destroys moths and enchants them

12. If only I had her as a sun that sets in my mind
Vanishing from my sight, overflowing when unseen

13. Stingy with her union, suspicious
Except for what the slanderers have adorned and fabricated

14. In her radiant stature is a brown spear
And in her bewitching glance a blue sword

15. As if with the blood of hearts the Ottoman banner on her cheek
Were embroidered and cut into patches

16. I have not forgotten her abode or her old speech
As the knight carries her and the excellent courser

17. If destiny assists, the young man is not deprived
How sweet are your words and logic!

18. She bid farewell, kissing my hand
While my mouth longed to kiss her shoes

19. She walked away while the pilgrims followed her like
The Emir's banner when the regiments pursue it

20. Courageous Abdul Qadir, the prudent, the discerning
The proficient, the eloquent speaker, the convincing

21. The truthful, the charitable, the merciful
The compassionate, the generous, the transmitter

22. The destroyer, the sustainer, the vanquisher, the successor
The harsh, the beneficial, the concealed, the liberator

23. The scholar, the flag, encompassing all that
The Book has articulated and logic has expressed

24. The crown of highness, its clasp and belt
And its oath, forehead, and separation

25. The support of truth who calls to his obedience
And erases the oppressors and crushes them

26. A king crowned with the perfection of his servants
And adorned with the precious pearl of generosity

27. With his existence the sun of knowledge rises
And with his generosity the sea of mysticism flows

28. A free, noble, virtuous, generous man
Chaste, just, charitable

29. His speech explains, his tooth bites
His response answers a skeptic blasphemer

30. If the crescent could carry some moonlight from the nightly orb
It would not be devoid and empty, born without creation

31. Witness his supremacy, and you will find the sky beneath him
As the low ground, while he is the high palace

32. Even enemies have testified to what they witnessed
So their words are credible though they were adversaries

33. O you of excellent and lofty character
Whose hands are life-giving and illuminating

34. The best of nobles and warriors are his delegation
To helpless people complaining and arrogant pretenders

35. All helpless people are captivated by him
While you alone are liberated

36. And all the earth in darkness without you
Yet with you every west is an east

37. You are from the house of revelation, may you remain for its glory
And for every glorious month an eternal star

38. The fast left its reward for you
And the blessed holiday adorned and scented you

39. So wear the whiteness of its splendor when dawn splits
With a splitting, not the blackness of splits

40. And submit to the striking of a glistening sword and a pulpit's sermon
A lingering fragrance and the aroma of praised praise
