I am a messenger who revives the memory of his meeting

من مبلغ يحيى ودون لقائه

1. I am a messenger who revives the memory of his meeting
The claws of every ambitious vulture provoke him

١. من مبلغٌ يَحيى وَدونَ لِقائِهِ
زبراتُ كُلِّ خَنابِس همهامِ

2. O shepherd of the Sultan, never neglectful
In gentle, interwoven, and fragrant pasture

في لين مختبط وَطيب شمام

3. His dwellings prosper and his drink is filtered
He spends the night in the highlands and flags

٣. تَعذى مسارحه وَيَصفى شربه
وَيَبيتُ بالرَبوات وَالأَعلام

4. Until you coo, striking with your anklets
And his pole rests in the abode of peace

٤. حَتّى تَنخنَخ ضارِباً بِجرانه
وَرست مَراسيهِ بدار سَلام

5. In every valley a guard appointed by him
And a beam of light that does not fade aiming

٥. في كُلِّ ثغر حارِسٌ من قبله
وَشُعاع طرف لا يفتّر سام

6. The day you roiled their souls on the gulf
Angry while they were similarly inclined

غضباً وَأَنتَ بمثلها مستهام

7. They were sons of a mother, but lack of reason
And frivolity of dreams divided them

٧. كانوا بَني امّ ففرّق شملَهم
عدمُ العُقول وَخفّة الأَحلامِ
