1. Alas for our stance in Barqa as it dims
Between warnings and petty goodness

2. From every unsettled wilderness
Running with the lines of separation extended

3. Blame cast it aside and time has sewn shut
The eyelids of events and the most sorrowful era

4. And the night, its edges have softened in its cold
And time, life is clear, its springs sweet

5. And the flowers on the horizon of the sky as though
A necklace scattering on an emerald carpet

6. Until the dawn broke through and startled it
The look of the slanderers moved from its bed

7. So I began pouring tears of separation
Like rain, no, like the most joyful lament

8. He is the delight of the world and its nap whom
The possessors of insight are guided by his years

9. By his existence, the Sovereign fortified His law
And through him God strengthened Muhammad's religion

10. To God a kingdom from you, a branch of the sublime
So everything gloomy fell from its heights

11. Unparalleled in the two worlds in resolve
Whose supreme traces are undeniable

12. And in perceptiveness by princely insight
It is as though he speaks of what will come tomorrow

13. In some hints of his glory
On the day of boasting despite the envious

14. As though the celestial spheres are subservient to his right hand
Like the feast carrying out the order of the Master

15. So their inauspicious stars are the lot of his enemies
And their fortunes forever are in his grasp

16. O You my Master whom
The wise of heart have answered to His tomb

17. Your abundant grace has spread through the land so it yielded
To the bridle whether returning or setting forth

18. From Your inaccessible protection I have the firmest ascent
And most perfect lavishment and the best gift

19. Do not forget a slave whom his time has cast
With unending tribulations in multitude

20. And I, who have reached Your door with his luggage
Seeking success, and You are the greatest aim

21. And whose poetry flows with its beauty
From every string with the stars aligned

22. I have nothing but the prayers of a humble heart
And eloquent poetry praising with construction
