1. Stand by this sea and behold what has immersed
The appearance of the sun and the rising of the moon

2. And cast your eyes at the waves swelling, do you see
An immersion that carried away the elite of the elite?

3. It took hold of the path of truth through it
And people's way during the empty time

4. It prevented idleness even if the journey was long
For it has no settlement, revolving is its orbit

5. The wheel of fate revolves over people on
Its two sides, ascent and descent

6. It demolished the palace from its foundations
And brought down the pyramids from the mother of stones

7. And erased the Red one except for pillars
Removing which from the earth’s shoulder is difficult

8. Where is Roman, its Caesars
Its soft nights fluttering feathers

9. Where is the Taleh valley and those in it
Of statues dragged in ambergris and ink

10. Where is Napoleon, what raids he launched
Which fate unleashed on him time and again

11. O you who live in the shade of wishes
Sleeping long, pillowing flowers

12. A sleeping tree and abundant shade
But the connection is in the origin of the tree

13. One leaves and comes to what he desires
Yet God’s decree comes and leaves

14. Everyone carried on the bier is a brother
His affection to you is pure after adversity

15. Whether he was well or hostile, the harm has passed
The seafarer, turbulent waves, do you see

16. Or is it the book of fate or pages of destiny
A sea like a board, countless

17. On the pen of destiny, so much written
So wander and breathe wisdom

18. And touch wisdom from amid poverty
And look upon a playground, most wondrous

19. A sign, its edge a lowered curtain
And the maids of fate walk the wine

20. Many a sword that struck the throngs with it
In the sea’s treasures lies broken

21. And a lamp that did not last an evening
Dawn overtook it at nightfall in the palace

22. And a ship weathered, decaying in it
It long inspired to him so he rebelled

23. And faces the water took away
In the daylight of separation or night of poetry

24. And sly eyes, fascinated, fascinated
With the charms of magic or turning of maidens

25. Tell the lion darkness engulfed it
Between thickets and clustered darkness

26. Look at the ships, is there a trace of them
Thus is the world when death attends

27. This is a position, if you add to it
Fortune would be too narrow or life too short

28. So pass away old in the passion of glory having fulfilled
The mercy of glory and gentleness with old age

29. A death I did not attain any honor from
Of the lion’s dignity that it not be violated on its deathbed

30. You are the people, sanctuary of the water yours
The roses return to you and the breasts

31. The depths of the seas are homelands for you
And of homelands, houses and rooms

32. You're not alone in the sea, so be hosted
In it your fathers, descending like pearls

33. They drifted in it generously
The raids of victory upon them and triumph

34. The Nile grew in your ways
For you in it lessons and wisdoms

35. Read them, time is revealed to you
Every time with its men and life stories

36. Do not say the poet of the valley raved
Who deceives himself will not be enlightened

37. History’s stand is above passion
And the place of death above nonsense

38. Not absent from you is one who died
Or of little deed among you and trace

39. You tightened his worldly life at its best
The raid of Sudan and the great opening

40. And he built the Nubian kingdom with you
So remember the martyrs and forget not the full moons

41. And beware the division of the Nile, so
O calamity of the valley if the Nile is split

42. A man not the son of Qarun nor
The son of Adiyy of great prestige

43. Not well-versed in knowledge, nor
Is he a gushing spring of eloquence

44. He suckled morals from its milk
Morals indeed have an impact in youth

45. And saw it an image in a nation
And from example what conveys images

46. That is glory and these are its paths
Evident in them are the paths of excuse

47. Do those hastening seek distances
Yet distance in glory is limited to a few

48. Like racehorses, they will not benefit from
Race tools, they do not benefit innate nature

49. And the wing of peace, except that
At the moment of horror, it is a wing of hell

50. Of iron its sides extended
Death crouched over it and gaped

51. Their mouths resembled their backs
A hedgehog in the ocean projecting needles

52. It sharpened the hearing of misery and put on kohl
Potent as the greenness on the sides of the lotus

53. And communicates speech, nothing precedes it
Messengers of spirits in conveying thought

54. It occurred in its eyelids and walked
With the eyes of angels in sea and land

55. A forest flowing with the sultan of evil
A thousand fangs and claws

56. And when death comes to the soul and walks
And you rode the star, stumbling in death

57. Many a weary and well-defended gazelle
Destiny tempted away from the eyelids of caution

58. It drags steel in a turbulent
Sea with strong waves concealed

59. If it gestured, its coast would come to it
In iron and steel victorious

60. Or a living being ransoms the dead, ransomed
Shamelessly with maidens and swords

61. The sea sent it like a wave
From the depths of Sind and gulfs of Khazar

62. A hand touched it for the destinies
That touches water, hurling sparks

63. It struck it while it was a secret in the darkness
There is no secret under the night but Allah

64. It hardened a heart and withered a fetus
And descended a side and mewled another

65. It was stabbed so it gushed, it screamed
And the news came to it when it was done

66. So it dried a heart and ruined a fetus
And descended a flank and wailed another
