1. Stand by its right side and left side
And let your eyes wander above it and below it

2. Dwellings that descended from the clouds upon it
And rain showers watered it, giving it life

3. And tomorrow the alive dressed it in garments
Woven by beauty, and roses crowned it and adorned it

4. Beauty has diversified in its corners, so
Our hearts and people’s hearts fell in love with it

5. I would not have left the house were it not for loving its resident
And I would not have parted from the beloved of my heart were it not for it

6. So look to its Euphrates that extended its arm
And its myrtle that leaned until its winds blew fragrantly

7. And basil smells fragrantly in all directions when
The enthusiasts smelled it, so they became needless with seeing it

8. And the green narcissus stretches toward its narcissus
Playing, so it hits its beginning with its end

9. And the land shakes from where spring is, so do not
Be surprised, for after death your Lord gives it life

10. And the Tigris river flows in its course
Its motto has always been: In the name of God is its course

11. And the air laughs in awe at the power of Him
Who created it and leveled it with the most beautiful creation

12. So let your soul wander in these meadows if
You obey my advice and do not lean toward its woes

13. And wipe your cheek and eyes, heading
To Salman’s grave, and leave behind its peace

14. And stand at that enlightened grave, for in it
Many sciences were buried, the best of the low ones

15. It collected the best of the hidden gems
And the brightest stars of guidance and virtues

16. He attained happiness while the lands were dark
When the Persian dog broke its authority

17. He promoted the endless religion’s landmarks
And attained the highest glories

18. Yearning took him until he left his homeland
And the lands of Persia deserted it

19. And imports of bliss kept moving him
Until he came to the guiding country and attained it

20. And he won the highest honor and his hands were blessed
With getting the treasure, watering it and shepherding it

21. He removed oppression and slavery from himself
And hardships parted from him and its pieces disintegrated

22. And in the egg of his religion’s honesty he became
A freeman, while before he was called its slave

23. And the palm tree fruited in one year, so no wonder
In the palm of Him who glorified its pebbles in the palm

24. And how many gems he collected over the gems
Of stars, so remember, for I do not forget it

25. As he stood in the battle of Allies, standing
For the religion of truth, the light of religion protecting it

26. Saying the best of messengers said about him:
“Salman is one of us,” was enough of a pride, but sufficed as a source of help

27. My master whom the longing heart is hooked to
To the extent that because of intense longing ascended above longings

28. I intend to come visit you while time
Has obstacles I have not the power to remove their low ones

29. Until I made an effort like the lion’s, seizing
An opportunity as he had hoped to find in the club

30. And I came to your door, O cave of the virtuous, whenever
He lodged in his club, gave him and made him needless

31. Getting rain from you associated to you, just as the truthful
Associated others to the best of creatures rightfully

32. So accept my shortcoming by your right and be my support
And my recourse for matters I started fearing

33. And provide for my children with your favor and be
A stock and fortress for them in this world and the next

34. And I have asked you, O treasure of the poor, and do not know
Anyone other than you, O lord of bliss, worthy

35. And distinguish what your Lord distinguished above messengers
With mercy and peace and prayers of good fragrance

36. And his honored family and companions and whoever
Set limits so they set limits for those who transgress them
