1. Does the caravan of Iraq after its generosity
Have remorse that calls for keeping its distance?

2. So the envious one returns frustrated
From a loving heart pouring its affection abundantly

3. You will never see in all of creation one finer
Than the truthful words of one blocked by his envy

4. And a gazelle, more melodious, wandering
On a hill, slender of figure, shooing away anyone rude

5. With a face like the full moon in the sky and with lips like
Scattered pearls that have fascinated me with their smile

6. He breaks his promise to come near and fulfills
His pledge of love to his admirers

7. The enchanter of glances, like a gazelle, delight of the eye
With his cheek and his curling hair

8. I sought help from my heart against him
But found my heart to be one of his soldiers

9. He visited me in the darkness as the full
Moon was swiftly rising, radiating its beams

10. Giving the opposite of what you’d expect him to give
While he is wakeful, causing pain with his coldness

11. And I said, when he came visiting, while my heart
Was steadfast in passion and its pledges:

12. "O you who makes the eyelids sick without illness
And who makes hearts sick with your charm

13. Do not torment a pouring heart that tomorrow will be unresponsive
To the blame of the censor or his rebuke

14. I have crossed a wilderness with a swift steed
The soul folds itself in professing His Oneness

15. He did not cease to live a blameworthy life but when
He saw good, he remained with praiseworthy ways

16. Ahmad the venerable, the most glorious, and whoever
Became his slave, all people are slaves of his slaves

17. The protector of one seeking refuge, God Almighty made him known
Despite the nose of his envious enemies

18. The blessings of the blessed month in mightiness
And He made him meet its prime with good fortune

19. Knowledge spread to whoever opposed him with harm
Just as it spread to those seeking him in generosity

20. He spends generously out of nobility and essence
Like two rain-clouds, thunderous and flashing lightning

21. His ancestors have raised him and many
Who came to him were lowered due to their lack of ancestors

22. So if he extends his palm it is higher
Than the highest palm-tree, as if it were its vein

23. How many men stood up to gain glories
But did not attain what he attained while seated

24. So if one day the enemies saw him
They retreated disappointed by his great fortune

25.
With blackened faces and hair

26. That had been white, such are the words of the envious
He protected his integrity and was generous with what was in

27. His hands, so you will never see the like of his generosity
A master whom all the creation says

28. Truthful words even if he is criticized
He manifests sublime glory and honor, honor

29. An imam manifesting the sublime, restoring its pillar
O imam who has spread knowledge in the world after dearth

30. That blinded them from its edges and far reaches
Live long, may souls be sacrificed for you

31. Protected from the vicissitudes of time and its afflictions
Remain and be well in mightiness untroubled
