1. The face of a handsome one,
And the fragrance of a gentle breeze,

2. And convivial morning drinks,
In the company of a boon companion,

3. And the strains of a delicate voice,
With a delicate, melodious tone,

4. And the bliss of our lasting abode,
Unlike the abode of bliss,

5. And a morn of joy,
That rift a night of worries,

6. Are they the daughters of a generous one?
No, they are vines’ daughters,

7. There emerged from them nights of precise astrolabe,
Like the stars,

8. And the Pleiades appeared from them,
Adorned with a necklace of threaded pearls,

9. Formed by the mind of a Sublime One,
Formed by the mind of a Wise One,

10. With eloquences by which the reins,
Of Ibn Al-Khatib were controlled,

11. And a perfection which was not attained,
By an eyebrow amidst Thamood,

12. And wisdoms of a wise man,
Who counseled Luqman the Sage,

13. And speech which I became,
Accustomed to like a bosom friend,

14. From a friend and glorious one,
And a protector and intimate one,

15. O the happy, the flowering, the free one,
In the ignorant mortal world,

16. And the outstretched hands,
Bearing the burdens of clouds,

17. Below it, if truth be told, or,
Cleared are the minds of the learned,

18. Every eye, every lam,
Every ya, every meem,

19. May Allah send peace upon its height,
From theSolver of the night of darkness,

20. No breeze tilted,
The branch of the straight breeze.
