1. A heart that melts for the ruins and the meadows
Yearning, with tears seen like pouring rain

2. Whenever the wind blew from that abode at dawn
I swayed to it like a drunkard

3. Never did I perceive a flash from its corners
Without shedding a tear that flows from me

4. It occupied my eyes and heart with remembering it
After the beloved ones with whom it was busy

5. Do not deny the form of flowing tears in me
For even if clouds find no rain they disperse

6. A lover cannot remain hidden from loved ones
Whether settled or a newcomer

7. Tears flow if love is scarce
And the eye sheds tears without scarce love

8. Do not wonder that the abode is far from a man
Who longs for it, for love was there before me

9. My heart and eyelid are opposed in their sleep
As if I am between one who is freed and one imprisoned

10. Leave the slanderers be, I have no excuse
To defend them, so I wake with no pretended love

11. If they were fair to me, they would have mercy
For a lover seems in tremendous events

12. O you who blame me, do not blame, for blame kindles me
As thorns, if added to fire, are set ablaze

13. Enough that a lover intends harm to his beloved
As he is protected by archers from Bani Thu'al

14. And I complained about a quarter of delight that made me happy
Its brothers in the distress and paucity of anguish

15. I wish my death while I do not part from them
For death in their love, by God, is most favorable for me

16. My right hand brother failed in fighting me
I wish I was shot at to disable him

17. I am the excessive one for I complied while deceived
A soul that tricks me in the narrowest paths

18. And I returned seeking what was unattainable
Alas! While old age calls me to my fate

19. Youth has passed and I did not abandon its determination
From amusements, while old age is full of my humiliation

20. And the soul is commanding evil, it shall have
On the Day of Judgement, the judgement of the Just Judge

21. It became heedless of God while stubborn
The stubborn free soul, if reasoned with, is captured

22. So restrain the wings of misguidance with devotion
Divert it from the sanctuary of desires to a mountain

23. For the soul is like a son, if you neglect disciplining it
It will naturally deviate, but if you straighten it, it will be upright

24. And cut off the disobedience of its sins with righteousness
And repel its passions, then say and do

25. For words alone demolish its piety without action
And action corrects its evil without laziness

26. And do not be fooled by a pleasure it finds
Tasty and pleasant, for poison lies in honey

27. And shed tears flowing from the eye of devotion
An eye contaminated with the lowly world

28. So disobey the two enemies, Iblis and his desire
They stripped Adam of his most honorable garment

29. I advised you and took ignorance as my own practice
Thus my advice to you is words without action

30. I am sick, so do not be fooled by my wellness
How ugly are words of a diseased and crooked one

31. I realized my death but did not realize its extent
Of repentance from the path of sin and lapses

32. I opposed the law of Him who saved me with law
I violated His honour sincerely and contentiously

33. I knew Him when I believed in Him, so ask
About Him, you find His religion, God, do not waver

34. Jesus Christ the Lord of the highest and lowest heavens
Our God, the Commander and Forbidder with His power

35. From whom came His law without delay
Blessed is he who believes and holds on to Him without embarrassment

36. He has become connected with the baptism of truth
As he has become dependent without separation

37. All the prophets bow submissively beneath His feet in fear and awe
After calling him, Ibrahim

38. Depicted him as a sacrifice offered on the mountain peak
Isaac embodied His blessing upon Jacob

39. When he called him for blessings and kisses
Jacob confused him with the lion, honourably saying:

40. “How great is a lion we called a cub”
Moses and Aaron, his grandson, called him

41. A sacrifice that delivered Jacob with the lamb
And the tabernacle, around which the son of Nun walked

42. Like His throne when the water receded
And Israel crossed the river proudly

43. His feet apparent in seeking without getting wet
The lantern of Jerusalem was the example of His alliance

44. The lantern of truth with secrets and examples
He called, indicating to Samuel in the darkness

45. Say to Eli: “Take your two sons and resign”
What do I care about the priesthood of Israel from a past

46. Since Peter rose with priesthood in the nights
And it switched from the prophets of the Torah, then from the

47. Torah and the Covenant to the Gospel and the Apostles
And Rome was specialized with His noble deputy over

48. Moses, Aaron, Jerusalem and the lamb
So all of them, with Jesus the Son of God and the

49. Gospel, seek with faith and action
They are His obedient servants under His obedience

50. And He is their God, Most High beyond example
Jesus means our Savior in the Gospel

51. As He saved us from the shackle of captivity
With honour surpassing the capability of angels

52. And dominance that frightened Satan in fear
From His generosity all bounties flow entirely

53. For He is the source of kindness and hope
His grace exceeded the extent of grace, it has no

54. Limit or equal, so speak briefly in describing Him and prolong
His signs belittled the greatness of His power

55. Even if they become beyond reason and transmission
His divinity lit up the seven layers with it

56. So the sun from His light is like the sun in the baby
He honoured the Lord of mighty between His world

57. So prostrate to Him and say “you have come from a man”
The forelocks of supreme heights greyed from His majesty

58. Between the elderly and youthful from it
He came to us while hidden in humanity

59. To protect us from extraordinary and fear
And refuted creation in the meaning of His embodiment

60. You will not see anyone crooked or straight but Him
The whole world cannot perceive His reality

61. Nor His high incarnation beyond example
A Master came to us as a God wearing a body

62. With both natures and hypostasis without lapse
Ever since His birth shone in Bethlehem, He came

63. From a shoulder it lacked like the sun in Aries
The Persian fire was extinguished entirely by it

64. And Kisra became brokenhearted and confused
The statues collapsed destroyed

65. And Caesar died restricted without solutions
The Jews were blinded by His light out of envy

66. No good comes out of jealousy leading to impairment
Ask the Jews, and ask about the fire of the Magi, and ask

67. The statues of Caesar when they perished quickly
They turned, and their bravest became their most cowardly

68. When they were shot with arrows of humiliation and failure
For fire and water are not brought out by striking

69. Fire is in inflaming, and water is in wetness
And a star emerged that appeared magically from the east at dawn

70. Leading an army solid like a rock from a mountain
With it are Magian kings, with them garments

71. And a gift bowing with the best garments
To Jesus, before whom they cast their weakness

72. When they came seeking deliberately
Kaspar, Melchyor, and Balthazar were famed

73. And Bakhtyashar who rises above the first
When they saw His star above their shoulders

74. They saddled their steeds of horses and camels
Tell the accursed Herod to refrain

75. From the kingdom of Galilee, for the king of fate has come
Leave me and my description of signs that amazed

76. Our minds, so if you falter, then do not speak
For how can signs that overwhelmed

77. The speech of creations in prose and poetry be counted?
Rise and secretly steal His glory as a thief hoping

78. For what you seek from hope, for He deserves what you wish
Depend on Him and leave saying you heard

79. To not depend in life on a man
And follow Jesus who guided you since

80. His signs were recited to you, so submit and say “I agree”
After tasting death, He rose victorious

81. With his living body after the term ended
And His power overflowed in His apostles, so they became

82. With the grace they received, O my friend, like mountains
It is as if while He is in them, when He blessed them

83. A sun increasing in brilliance while in Aries
Illuminated on the day of ascension as He was

84. Surrounded by soldiers and cavalry
His ascension was from the low valley to

85. The heavenly mount, the mount of the Throne calmly
Before Him are the prophets and apostles following Him

86. His stray lamb carried like a child
With His ascension, all ranks were lowered in

87. The meaning of their attachment to His easy side
O you who deny the clear truth about Him

88. If you tasted it you would not deny the truth like the lowly
His true teachings by deeds are composed

89. How good knowledge is when adorned with action!
For pearls, whether threaded or scattered

90. Increase in beauty with the calmness of the distracted
His Gospel relates the texts of His words without fault

91. Effective on the soul and body like a cure for ailments
It repels His enemies with its company mercifully

92. As the stab of a sword repels a coward
So the deceased in illness will not oppose it

93. Kohl is not like kohl in the eyes
Bless us when we believed His call

94. He is the Most Noble of creations, and we the noblest of faiths
O my repentants, wear from praise of your Master

95. A garment of repentance more beautiful than garments
Then compile from the poetic meters of tears a house

96. Of poetry between praise and amorous allusions
How those who praise Him have prolonged

97. Yet they did not delve into praise but a droplet
They have not sought to elevate our Master above

98. That mountain with his praise
Except we became intoxicated with the wine of praise in delight

99. Between sober, inebriated, and one obsessed with love
The beauty of this musical ode increased our passion

100. For praising Mary, mother of the Eternal Creator
Not to mention the rank she gained with honor

101. When a Most High God beyond example dwelled in her
O best of creations of God of all creations

102. And best of every devout and loyal from them
So how do your ranks surpass those of the prophets, when

103. They were to you like an unmatched class?
The sun in its course declines below Saturn

104. But in its destiny rises above Saturn
You were raised like your name with derivation

105. Above all prophets, martyrs and apostles
Your status has continued to be accompanied and famed

106. With descriptions, attachments, emphases and substitutions
To the extent that pride with you has become exclusive knowledge Even if another sought it seriously, he would not attain it

107. You connected what was between the Redeemer and Adam
Without the other who sought it previously yet did not attain it

108. With a force that directed its resolves
The pillars of Satan collapsed without standing

109. Your status became lofty when His position
Surpassed the praise of one who climbed and one who improvised

110. Time perishes but praises upon you are never counted
Can the sea one day be emptied by the ladle?

111. My rain has come praising a strange sinner
If not for you, he would not have been hopeful

112. If not for you, he would not have hoped in you for his repentance
After an ancient covenant without action

113. Every time you pulled him from his misguidance
Your hands while he is prisoner of ignorance and lapses

114. I have nothing but praise when adversity befell me
For Mary the Virgin which is appropriate in my poetry
