1. Arise, O Zephyr, and scatter fragrance around,
And spread for us your perfumed eastern breeze,

2. Remove the veil from the unveiled rosebud,
A breeze opened by the morning blow.

3. A river flows in two colors interwoven,
An interwoven brocade that shone,

4. High slim branches call at dawn,
On the sweet boughs echoing with delight.

5. The mornings shined in recovered warmth,
So serve a morning drink O bartender!

6. As if when the goblets are heated by the wine,
The pourer heats goblets not real goblets.

7. And as if the peacock of cupbearers wore
Bowls that bare souls had sipped.

8. As if we and the tilting cups towards us
Drew a tilt that made us stoop.

9. O beautiful fawn, are you coming back
An era whose pressed juice was joys?

10. The era of gray hairs send back my youth,
You denied it O era of gray hairs.

11. And you had put on gray hairs a garment of
Pure melting in youth and bending.

12. So the eye drinks chills from your eyes,
And the spirit carries comfort from your cheek.

13. Sparkle a cheek that heals hearts,
Shine a mouth that softly smiles.

14. We pick the blooming roses, still buds,
And gently pluck, O Naeem, apples.

15. It hurts you if you saw me
With wings humbly folded.

16. I sip the few tears like a thirsty man
Sipping the water-skins and pouches.

17. Love won’t hide the rendezvous of lovers
Until it exposes them.

18. Many shaggy camels ferociously walk
Frolicking morning and eve.

19. The repeller of passions colored its periods
With saliva, it rises and overflows.

20. He twisted his arms around me a gilded necklace,
And I twisted the end of my hand over him as a wrap.

21. The anklets and belt on his waist
Rattled, articulating eloquently.

22. The jingling bells of his bending anklet
Tied up, jingling joyfully.

23. In the valley’s lively theater, a singer sings
Songs and anthems more melodious than a flock.

24. On the terrace of the Pleiades in the heat’s sand,
Afraid, remaining, cleaving the spirits.

25. Watching the range of the towering dunes, avoiding
The pitfalls, turning away ferociously.

26. My sharp sight followed him behind,
Two braids swept the meadows and lowlands.

27. The brown oryx cried so I called: O hunter
My oryx fell on the water-spring and died.

28. I complain to him of deadly eyelashes
That glance at me in the dusk askance.

29. Those weak ones sent me cauldrons
I opened them, finding harm from them.

30. O you who blame weapons, I kept dodging,
Until with my dodging, I became a weapon.

31. The black eyelids shine with the whites of swords
And the bending of the necks shake spears.

32. I browse your eyelids like polished blades
That the hands of smiths polished smoothly.

33. Reproaching you wearies me to the point
I reproached while I wearied of reproach.

34. Had you not made me a target of arrows
I would not have called the five mirages.

35. The love market kept refusing my deal
Until I produced profit in it.

36. The oryx knelt for the Hashimi caravan in Mina
So the Mina caravan knelt to it relieved.

37. Grandson of the righteous Suleiman, whose qualities
His cheek moles diffused generosity.

38. So you milked virtue a brimming udder
Until you drank the essence from it fresh.

39. O Muhammad, you are from his auras
A moon dispelling the darkness of night.

40. People walked your path so forgive
If they titled you the eloquent white moon.

41. Through you the dawn of guidance shines for people
When your days shine illuminating a lamp.

42. A beautiful face looks not good to a seer
Until through it he quenches ugly faces.

43. You whitened in tablets what they blackened
And removed the shadows of people who shadowed the tablets.

44. How many carrier of rumors while impotent
I married to the mentions of swords in marriage.

45. He kept hiding his pregnancy pretending
Until the contractions seized him so he yelled.

46. If you know the lies and falsehoods of a slanderer
Then pair their lies and falsehoods.

47. The critic did not see the shine of cordiality
Then pretended to be fiery in antagonism.

48. Your hopes were pollinated while virgin
If you were the pollinator of hopes.

49. How many generous door was locked
Until I made its key for its opening!

50. For you and Al-Hussein a spiritual retreat
That neighbored the good water-spring a water-spring.

51. O son of the foremost, their limbs arose for the Sublime
Binding wounds, and inflicting wounds on the enemy.

52. The son of two who planted the land’s back
And irrigated the two valleys’ guts with water-springs.

53. We conveyed poetry to you not for trade
Calling you so call the insisting carrier.

54. For success we seek but our seeking
Is for you to achieve success on success.

55. We will not care for fleer or critic
Or blamer who yelled and shouted.

56. Be safe. You are safe from the times, O Saad,
Through you its joys dispelled sorrows.
