1. Oh my cousin's son, estrangement between us has lingered on
Making my eyes shed copious tears in longing

2. I yearn for your company but time holds me back
Proceeding as fate dictates, sometimes helping, other times hindering

3. For you are my ultimate desire, though at times
Destiny can hinder a young man, twisting matters awry

4. You bring joy to my eyes and solace to my restless heart
My refuge and relief from burning anguish

5. Intercede on behalf of one melted by the pain of separation
Whose body is withered from the heat of intense yearning

6. You are the shelter for one desperate, crying out in longing
The noblest, highest, and most virtuous of men

7. I venture to seek from you reunion and its bliss
From which flows euphoric elation and soaring spirits

8. Oh cousin's son, you sustain the visitor knocking at your door
Your generosity is an ocean from which others draw

9. Show kindness with a message that revives my soul
For your merit is well-known and you are characterized by righteousness

10. You are the remedy for my malady, the joy of my eyes
The goal of all my hopes - show mercy and kindness I implore

11. If only we could visit back and forth
With the stars gathered reverently around the shining moon

12. If only I could be with you, my beloved, once more
To glean the fruits of knowledge and gather an abundant harvest

13. If only I could tell you, the beauty of this age
That for your company I cannot sleep, from longing undone

14. Alas, may time yet mend what has passed
With fellowship amongst the noble ones and ties restored

15. Healing the burning heart from the agony of your absence
And quenching the ceaseless tears upon my cheeks

16. You are the gentle servant, comfort to my soul
Your nearness gives me life, your distance brings ruin

17. Everlasting is God's grace upon you, guiding pillar
As long as worshippers stand and rank themselves in rows

18. Greetings upon you whenever you cross my mind
And copious tears from my eyes cascade in torrents

19. I conclude with a prayer, submitting peace
Upon the Prophet for as long as eyes continue to see

20. And his family, his companions, his progeny altogether
For they are the suns of guidance for those who follow
