1. The languid-eyed one whose
Burden is heavy gloom

2. His frail, bending waist
His sleepy, kohl-lined eyes

3. His clear, smooth cheek
I have pined for him lifelong

4. Ailing, sickly, and frail
None chided me for loving him

5. Though the ignorant blame
He tested my patience, and I have

6. No means left to be patient
How can one sustain patience

7. When love is so fair?
Gently, my master, for one

8. Whose patience for you is little
And for you he has ties

9. Of love that do not change
And for you a sea of longing

10. With waves high and strong
And for you, when you are absent

11. Tearful, anxious, confused
So my fate is to be tried

12. By you and to lament
While for you I have sincerity

13. Affection and kind words
O beauty of the world, patience

14. Has been difficult since we parted
Now tears are permitted

15. Since the beloved came no more
If not for you, my love would not

16. Trouble me, hard though it is
For you I have passion and love

17. That will never fade
Between estrangement and coming close

18. When will anguish be cured?
When will the strange affliction

19. Hope to find a cure?
Whenever I sought solace

20. Patience, long though it was, failed me
If I was let down by a house

21. Or betrayed by a languid friend
Or the light of hope dimmed

22. Or the companion left me
The just, kind, eminent

23. Al-Ya'rubi is my cave and refuge
Truthful in word and deed

24. The generous, exalted
Protecting, giving, facilitating

25. None in creation can equal him
He is Sultan Bin Sayf

26. Noble, esteemed, glorious
If fate turns against me

27. He will favor me as my guarantor
If time abandons me

28. He will shade me as my protector
His abundant generosity

29. Puts the sea to shame
One who has not heard

30. Of his generosity would say the envious lied
If the generous called, he would be ransomed

31. No miser can match him
Every eminent kingdom

32. Is humbled low before him
Why would he fear poverty

33. When he is the abundant, true giver?
Resolute, undaunted by

34. Whatever grave events unfold
All lofty summits before him

35. Are smooth and easily scaled
Steadfast in the fray when

36. Minds all around are crazed
Bearing heavy loads without

37. Strain, nothing wears him down
Steadfast, his steed wanders

38. Fearless where death roams
His sharp sword has ceaselessly

39. Destroyed the hostile hordes
With blunted blades and broken lances

40. O Imam, none can equal you
O generous one, your giving hand

41. Cannot be matched
When clouds fail to bring rain

42. Your rain pours in streams
Through you generosity lives

43. And through you poverty dies
You can defeat foes in battle

44. With seizure and conquest
My mind falters praising you

45. I know not what more to say
Congratulations for what

46. God, the Majestic, gave you
After Eid, you remain still

47. A feast that perpetuates
Year after year, never changing

48. You do not vary or turn
Who does not waver in passion

49. Eloquent but sadness makes
What he says unsmooth

50. With poetry none can create
These ample, beautiful verses

51. If an eloquent one saw them
He would falsely claim them as his

52. And cease saying anything more
