1. O my beloved, how much grief you've suffered
Allured by your hidden, protected charms

2. You are not to blame, though you've thwarted my wishes
Forbidden is your love, it does not forsake me

3. I've stopped my tears in your dwellings, after
All paths were blocked, except those leading to you

4. My pact and good fortune's shadow in you exhausted
And life smiles from between laughing lips

5. And upon you, from the Emir's face is gladness
I ransom it from a face most blessed

6. A king whose horses and spears on the day of battle
Are valiant youths and angels

7. The horsemen march under reigns by his command
Obedient to the lead - what a protector!

8. The humblest servant, from buying his gifts
A refuge for the outcast, a seat for the traveler

9. In his generosity, people share, and he
Does not wish to share his glory with any

10. O Master who has arranged the world's affairs
With excellent deliberation

11. You've collared the enemies' necks with virtues
With your sword, the clear, decisive, conclusive truth

12. And erased their souls from life's pages
Like the dawn's erasure of a dreadful night's darkness

13. And you showed mercy, until almost your sword
Wept for them, blaming the act of the executioner

14. They took your arrows as symbols in their chests
And through its auspices, escaped the angel of death

15. They did not reject your blessings, but destiny led them
To adversity and annihilation
