1. I find life springing from nature,
And to nature it returns after a while,

2. As if it were a graceful painting,
From which branches extend in all directions.

3. It appears and disappears into nature itself,
As if it has a repository within it.

4. Nature in all its affairs,
Is like God - it does not sleep from its works.

5. It extends in all directions and fills
The dimensions until no place is devoid.

6. It is the space and all that it contains,
It is time and all that it brings together.

7. It is my paradise and hell in life,
In it there is bliss for me and flames that burn.

8. Nothing in its earth and skies,
Except nature harms or benefits.

9. It is an appearance of God the Almighty,
And minds seek God and return.

10. It is not an occurrence but an image,
Eternal like its Originator, so Majestic is the Maker.

11. As for its beauties they are great,
I have long been infatuated with them.

12. It contains worlds in the galaxies of the sky,
Yet nature is vaster than them.

13. It is as if the planets desire an exit,
From it so they rush and accelerate,

14. Propelled in it as if by God's hand,
Pushing them from behind at all times.

15. Nothing is separate from nature's embrace,
It is my origin, abode and destination.

16. I am but a part of it fallen,
On a spot of earth looking up.

17. I am its child born from its depths,
Suckling its milk at all times.

18. The sun rises beautiful in the daytime,
When it disappears the stars rise.

19. Whoever nature has refined his taste,
Finds joy in its sun and stars.

20. As for him who is ignorant of nature,
The marshes are enough for him.

21. I love its serenity and follow its flow,
Its flames so I am obedient wood.

22. How many friends have I buried in the soil,
And watered their tombs with tears from my eyes.

23. I remembered them and my bed softened,
I remembered them and lost all rest.

24. In the meadow remains but one flower,
I fear it will be plucked by tempest.

25. It is my companion and I know not,
Do I lament it or does it make me lament?

26. The thread of life, it alone remains,
A hope to reach it and despair to sever it.

27. I have been blamed since youth in its pride,
For some ignorance - miserable is the pasture!

28. And for things I did out of ignorance,
Today I strike my grey hair in regret.

29. If there was no devil's hand in it,
There is when I search - a finger!

30. But man is tempted by his whims,
And living in the days of youth is never sated.

31. Youth departed and shall not return,
Old age came and does not depart.

32. In my old age I am blamed,
For being truly devoted to Laila.

33. After journeying long in loving her,
I do not turn back from it.

34. I weep if she passes to have mercy on me, but
Neither does Laila soften, nor do my tears intercede.

35. My heart flutters when she passes me,
Restoring the fluttering to my ribs.

36. I see before me a cloud of worries,
While the cloud does not dissipate.

37. The mockers from afar are like a party,
Who have agreed to gloat over me altogether.

38. There boasting in inflicting harm,
As if none other than he causes pain.

39. So if I am silent, sorrow melts my essence,
And if I complain, there is none who listens.

40. Hypocrisy has reached its peaks among its people,
Is hypocrisy the paved road?

41. Do not alarm me with death as a timed appointment,
For the free man is not alarmed by death.

42. Stop by the valley of peace and you will find blood,
It was there and it was there the death occurred.

43. Tell the one who chases his enemy,
Whether you subdue him, what will you do?

44. For the spilt blood will be avenged by the youth,
For the blood spilled before it does not return.

45. Do not withdraw if I say your grandfather,
Was not originally but an ape grazing.

46. For when he turned away from his forest,
He chose from insects to satiate himself.

47. And now if you listen I will increase you in knowledge,
With my saying your grandfather was a frog!

48. The sun cast its rays on him from its lights,
Dressing him in a new robe everyday it discards.

49. And if your body cracks from decay,
One day your soul will similarly crack.

50. The soul is but life shared,
Among the group of cells that comprise the body altogether.

51. It is hidden in inanimate things due to their simplicity,
It does not appear or branch out.

52. As for plants it falls short within them,
Neither intending nor hearing.

53. And the diversity of animals rises progressively,
Until the erect ape appeared with branches.

54. And the exclusivity of man among creatures,
With his wit - so his station is most high.

55. When Superman is born he is,
More learned than this and that in knowledge.

56. And Superman is wise, so he,
Repels the harm of nature with nature.

57. And Superman is equipped with powers,
That subdue necks so there is no escape from them.

58. And Superman succeeds in his affairs,
And Superman does not submit to others.
