1. Well done to the ear when it was addressed by a young one,
And greetings to eloquence if it has eloqued.

2. A beloved who is preoccupied with his lovers,
Though he is molded in the form of beauty.

3. He has a cheek on which God has lavished its shade,
And that face has remained drenched in beauty.

4. His saliva is like wine, but it dissolved,
And dissolved, so it was in my mouth the most delicious.

5. And of a fox telling of the constancy of its burrowing,
I have never seen it throughout time more sated and burrowing.

6. Indeed, the beloved has loaded the beholder of my eyes
With tears and sighs until they were overwhelmed.

7. And between my eyelids is the battle of Siffin, and al-Karra,
And which of them, would that I knew, transgressed.

8. My tears' witness before witnesses like Shafii, Malek, and Ricki
Whose colors, from Ashhab, learned to dye.

9. And the like of me is few among people, for I
Am a young man who became eminent in my love and poetry.

10. I gained fortunes, so from among the youths
I accompanied, and from a conferred wealth seeking to excel.

11. A prince whom you see the stars of flowers in the ground
Have positions when they ascended wallowing.

12. He informs you of news before its occurrence,
So you have never seen him give news or give information.

13. And I have never seen a day in eloquence and intelligence
Yes, and to the ways of glory, more eloquent.

14. When he wages war, and war bears witness to him,
You see the lion, from the evil of courage, biting.

15. And if he is generous, and generosity is attributed to him,
You see the rain, from that bounty, pouring.

16. Thoughts fell short of describing his glory,
And praises became due to him from all tongues.

17. So how many eloquent ones have wished to describe his perfection,
But I saw him in peace and war most eloquent.

18. Whenever I say this is the knight of the land,
He says yes, this is the knight of ferocity.

19. My Lord Saif al-Din, here is a poem
That has from accepting the excuse the most honorable pursuit.

20. It is adorned with rare ideas,
A unique thought that does not like wallowing.

21. And live happily either with your company or
Informing of the meaning of grace.

22. And you remain towards the enemies an unsheathed sword,
And you remain a shade for the loved ones, coloring.
