1. You have attained your goal, so beware misfortune,
For gray hair has descended with jet blackness.

2. No welcome guest pained my cheeks
When the appointed times smiled at his coming.

3. The wind of forgiveness blew away our ships at night
It blew in the morning, and its blowing was destruction.

4. It churned the sea of affection with its gusts
It was joyous, and its harbor was the most alive.

5. Events gaped open-mouthed, as
It brought fathers and sons together with its sprinkling.

6. With it the patches of ruins became like
A torrent pouring through a spacious courtyard.

7. Life is an arena and bodies of the world
Are its racers. Do you recognize vigor?

8. Our breathing wavers between our desires
Tempting dwellings morning and evening.

9. So time scatters us one by one
Like the passing of rainclouds scattering pebbles.

10. This world shows you wonders
While its womb bore the most evil.

11. The soul once clung to a body
Thus it did not abandon its protector out of dryness.

12. It grew near and its nearness earned it estrangement
So strange is a stick that seeks no adornment.

13. When Eve misled, she misled Adam,
So she clothed her sons in misery and trial.

14. The opposing decreed against him in his scheming
And decreed. So he deposited the fulfillment among us.

15. Awaiting the arrival of the cups of our destruction,
We stay up late at their orbit in regret.

16. If we are made to drink from it forcibly
We are quenched with sorrow and affliction.

17. Our exit is compelled against our will
And its remedy casts illness upon us.

18. Our misery leads to our illnesses
And our survival shows us pardon.

19. How many nations the wilderness pardoned before you
That almost filled the desert with their entirety.

20. Where are the resolute ones in whom
The lofty thrones became steadfast and they sought highness.

21. Where are the rulers who scowled
At the lines of misfortunes and shook the dust.

22. Where is the son of David who surpassed the world
In knowledge, wisdom, and steadfastness and nobility.

23. Where is the one who ruled kings, Alexander
Whose loss the polished lament and who climbed the heights.

24. Where is the one who built the Khwaranq
Then where is the Karam, Timur, who did evil.

25. Where is the one who gained splendor and sublime traits
Nobly and walked the path of vanity.

26. Where is the one who stepped on necks arrogantly
So their sides became subservient to him.

27. Where is the one whose hordes in his army
Shuddered the earth in awe and bashfulness.

28. Where is the one who the time forced to bow
And he was the foolish greenhorn.

29. Where are the kings defending their frontiers
Where are the armies raising the banner.

30. Where is the clashing of their swords and their spears
Against every complainer subduing the enemies.

31. Like arrows in the thick of spears, seasoned,
Their heroes reached Canopus.

32. They see the stamping of the steeds as if it were
A revolving orbit directing them morning and evening.

33. The wind of death blew upon them and they became
Corpses without their souls, mute.

34. The hands of fate went around them with cups
From a wine brought to you from Eve.

35. So they slept on the wilderness struck down intoxicated
They drank it and were in its reckoning remorseful.

36. The hands of Saba played with them and so they scattered
Scattered so a distant one collects the remote.

37. Their generations went over their tracks
Pursuing the remaining disgrace.

38. Galloping on the steeds of life in its distances,
And the starts of death flowed with them equally.

39. The belly of the earth used to envy its surface through them
And tempted to expand through them.

40. So time folded its envious and envied ones
Like a bracelet when it reflects things.

41. You see through your eye in the position of its crime
A figure while you are within it appearing.

42. How far the tombs are from the field
That through them appeared glorious long ago.

43. They became hostages to their fate when they gained
From it happiness and fulfilled.

44. The book testified against them and its ledger
Death tasting while bestowed grace is stripped away.

45. Woe to whom the collector of his debt meets
And sees him in the burden of sin so he is ruined.

46. He punishes him like the man who does evil with his deed
And destroys safety and compassion from him.

47. Restrain yourself, O you who spend the night anxious
In a whim that does not accept perishing.

48. So you are like the owl thrashing in the darkness
Wandering expecting the daybreak.

49. Wearing the gown of gloomy sorrow
Covered in a cloak of darkness.

50. Yet delegations of the imminent
Appointed times have come hastily but they were slow.

51. Your suns have appeared in the horizons of their settings
And your brilliant dawn has become evening.

52. The judgments were reversed in you so consider
From their truthfulness the giving and tempting.

53. Tread the serious journey in the new devotions
With smiles that scatter the poisons comfortably.

54. I yearn for a time which I clothed
Its foundation in sin that changes purity into disgrace.

55. How many times I have spent the night untangling its puzzle
With shortcomings not accustomed to elevation.

56. And the dye of the night changed to the dye of my worries
So its darkness from its inkiness has vanished.

57. I sipped in it the stale water of life
The heart has become with its bitterness picking itself apart.

58. I have made repentance reside in it extensively
And grief intimates that I increase my crying.

59. O Lord grant me a repentance by which I erase
A text whose content became misfortune.

60. O Lord the repentance of an advisor slipping away
Who sheds hot, burning tears.

61. O Lord I am leaning on Your protection
And Your protection, my Lord, aids the weak.

62. O Lord, I have ridden my hopes to You before dawn
And have increased tempting them.

63. O Lord return me at my death, I am evil
And return me after it to the most High.

64. O Lord strengthen my resolve in You and suffice me
Harm which has provoked illness upon my body.

65. O Lord the doctor has failed so cure me
Of an illness which You were its remedy.

66. O Lord departure has drawn near arousing me
A lightning in the edges of fever appearing.

67. Interceding in that sin of mine which
Saw people satisfied with it through its excellence.

68. That one which stepped with the sole of its foot
The sphere of good fortune and the settledness of harm.

69. It filled the bellies of the earth with abundant safety
When its abdomen was filled with blessings.

70. It assumed the nobility of thrones one night
When the giver of glad tidings came carrying the good news.

71. This is the leader of messengers proclaiming a warning
With insights scattering the lowly ground to the sky.

72. Peace be upon you, O pride of the world
When you were Mary the chaste.

73. O throne of God’s glory, O sun of guidance
That tore the darkness with its emergence.

74. I came to her while my eyes were thankful with tears
Sadly as if their edges were wounded.

75. If my sin necessitates an intercessor for me
Truly, then your grace combines intercessors.

76. Grant, O most clement, that I am listening to you
What is the excuse of old age that voids the fulfillment.

77. Youth has passed and the time of poverty returned me
As if I am looking at myself in its fold.

78. The tongue of old age appeared to me chanting
You have attained your goal, so beware misfortune.
