1. Who can lend me a heart to which I profess
My love, so that its praise may delight me,

2. And the breeze of morning blows to me
Its fragrance, filling me with joy,

3. As if its rapture in the early dawn were with me.
Longing for the one who wounded my heart

4. With his love, while I remain his wounded one.
Let it go, my reproacher, for I have

5. A heart that melts, so who can comfort it
Except the Most High Refuge, the Most Beautiful forever.

6. O Peter, the exalted and most noble,
With his vast and spacious dignity.

7. O rock of faith, speak,
For who can violate the rock?

8. He illuminated the world with good tidings
And spread its fragrance throughout the universe.

9. The Teacher suddenly denied
And turned back weeping in sadness.

10. So his denial benefited us
With his evident, exposed weeping.

11. Be not surprised at what transpired,
For who can move the rock against its will?

12. He took the absolute authority,
And the truth cannot be obscured or concealed.

13. The tongues of the world praised him,
Adorned by his praise.

14. From the era of Adam, his mention
Was in the first generations until the days of Noah.

15. They continued to the point
When the Messiah came among them.

16. His Master gave him authority
And the caliphate which he desired.

17. "Here are my keys, and whatever
You order, I make permissible."

18. You truly guide whomsoever is lost,
And you are his sincere advisor.

19. I will be among your fortunate caliphs,
And the disobedient one I will remove.

20. My Master, preserve my obedience
In its shade one day when I call out.

21. This is my success, if I obey
Its laws, for I will be successful.

22. Blessed is the land one day inhabited,
And his tomb was in it.

23. Oh, most blessed is his tomb
I visited, while I am preparing to depart.

24. In the land of Rome was what I wished,
And its clarity was evident.

25. This is my praise, which does not suffice,
For the one to whom this praise belongs.

26. For the sword, no matter how the swordsman waves it,
Is dazzled by its blade.
