1. Take from the glances a glance that will protect my mind
And do not make me fall into the hands of alluring eyes

2. For I have no power over the magic of glances
That would suffice to advise me, the one who killed my heart

3. And the one who enchanted me, the more she tortured me, the more I loved her
And the one I killed said "Go, you are free"

4. She shot me with her eyes but did not miss my eyelids
And nothing was as sweet to me as my murder

5. So I have never felt what I felt at that moment
When the arrows of love, those killer glances, pierced my heart

6. And my reproacher stood up at night blaming me
So I said, had you wished, you would have shortened my torment

7. You have gained by this blame my enmity
For blame is not forgotten by love or soothed by union

8. When her weapons missed I was struck by lightning
And the Najdi wind ravaged and took away my mind

9. O you who prolonged the illness of my longing by her estrangement
Take me and leave me and let me be among those killed

10. She accused me though I did no wrong against our bond of love
And burdened me with separation on top of my burden

11. And drove sleep away from my eyes to cut off
Along your floating image the road to my union

12. And you left, O Hind, no room for reconciliation
Gently, for love decays just as all things decay

13. Tomorrow time will judge between me and her
And after injustice there must come a just judge

14. If I live, I will endure estrangements, and if I die
How great the regrets in my grave for one like me

15. If this is the description of my beloved's deeds
Then there is no difference between enemies and family

16. I have no wrong against the days that I prepared
Yes a wrong but that was my superiority

17. If she does not forgive it, I will blame the one for whom
The turns of fate anxiously watched over a man

18. The one who shook the vast earth with his might
And covered it with horses galloping and men marching

19. The victorious king, the just Ahmad
A descendant of Ishmael, look to the origin

20. You will find, rooted in kingship, he pitched his tent
And a branch reaching to the seventh heaven

21. God has decreed that judgment will go as he wishes
And that he will transform enemies through conquest and humiliation

22. And that he will rule the Farthest Sanctuary and attain his hopes
And that none can compete with him in perfection and merit

23. They attempt some of what he wants
And through excessive good fortune gain it all

24. Ask the one whose eraser blots out
And writes in the folds of his family honor and merit

25. And donkeys that have not stumbled and whose fortresses
Fell, and among them men as numerous as the sands

26. There has come to them a fate unbearable to meet
And it took them by surprise, for seriousness is not like jest

27. They saw that the only choice was flight or resistance
So they fled in a flight that was worse than murder

28. And they had some self-respect in what was said
So they were humiliated and the sanctity of wealth and family was clear

29. He gathered them in the wasteland of al-Hashid for doom
And no wavering disappoints like the sundering of kin

30. If only Ishmael had an eye to see his son
Making his father happy today by grasping the beard

31. And defeating people who had defeated him
And killing them in sorrow at times and at times in the plain

32. If this lion was absent from him, here are
Cubs that have been weakened in the lair of the old lion

33. Ishmael did not die as long as Ahmad lives
So may he live a thousand years, killing injustice with justice
