1. My behavior was not as you had assumed it to be
I am patient in both joy and sorrow so pass your judgment on me

2. I did not betray the covenant of love in my youth
So how could I after the onset of grey hair and old age

3. O dwellers of Salam, you have scorched my liver
God be with me and with her, O dwellers of Salam

4. How to get free of a night that keeps me awake
Yearning for those taller than it and its branches

5. My eyes were robbed of sleep by a Bedouin woman
Whose killing gaze is that of a foreigner

6. She calls the doves when their feathers touch her
Until he seems to whisper to her mouth to mouth

7. If she were to become a Hindu, she would deny
The thought of another husband after the death of her spouse

8. Time passed and she was not tortured by blessings
And she found sweet my words of refusal and blame

9. It's not me, O people, who tortured her
It's me who's killed by what I approved of her whims

10. It's not her watching eyes that spilled my blood
Far from it! My own eyes spilled my blood

11. Like the envious one whose arrow of jealousy
Does not come from the swords of the brave heroes

12. My master Abu Al-Fadl insisted on accompanying him
So he did not stay in any place where he did not stay

13. To God he is an angel riding a horse
And a speaking star walking on feet

14. He rides faster than lightning when awaited
He runs faster than a startled wild camel

15. He has a hand that puts oceans to shame with generosity
A blooming and fading hand with the pen

16. He has become the circle of kindness and generosity
Whose pillar of height would not have lasted without him

17. I gift you O heir of Bahri a neck
For the neck of glory that gifts the essence of wisdom

18. If you accept it, the acceptance will be
Higher and more precious than ruby in value

19. Your power still strikes awe and fear in your enemies
And your person remains beloved by all nations
