1. Now my heart is torn in two,
In it flow two kinds of tears.

2. When the nun of his cheek bent, it shot
From its bow and aimed with two eyes.

3. Half the sad of his mouth stood erect
And two lam's were traced from his eyebrows.

4. His cheeks extended in their whiteness
Two soft dawns over two days.

5. He turned the head of coyness askew
From the sting of two Babylonian eyelids.

6. He stained his cheeks, then stripped off
The cover of the wink of his two swords.

7. Oh, for the tortured, broken-hearted one
From these two beautiful ones, oh from those two!

8. He carries two date palm fronds on his shoulders
His figure stooped at the waist.

9. The glances of coyness - so I fear for my eyes because of them
O you who torment me with your gaze, I ransom you both

10. Do not deliver me to the coquettish ones.
And O you two coquettish ones, how sweetly you have emerged

11. To accuse me with two excuses.
As if his cheeks amidst your blackness

12. Are two dawns embroidered with two nights.
By it the sun of day became two suns

13. And the moon of darkness became two moons.
My skin is softer when it contemplates

14. Complaints appearing between two pouring tears.
It suffices you an eye whose tormenter you are habitually

15. And a heart that yearns at times.
And love is sweet - when it is little it calls

16. For more misery and ill fate.
Indeed the glorious Imam is more generous than

17. One who pours dew once or twice.
The shelter of his protection, when

18. He is munificent with two abundant rains
To them belongs the glory of Egypt and what it has gathered

19. Of noble deeds and adornment.
The dew of the sea of his generosity overflowed

20. And its sea comes between two seas.
If its land stretched to touch the stars

21. It would rise over Al Nesr and Semakeyn.
O son of the Prophet of guidance and best

22. Of those exalted with two noble Hashemite ancestors.
Who is like your victorious one, al-Mansour

23. Or like your strengthener of these two, al-Muizz.
Or who rivals you in fatherhood

24. Among the prominent Fatimids?
Whoever does not draw near his Lord through obeying you

25. Is like a wrong-doer professing two religions.
Indeed I do not refrain from you grudgingly

26. Nor set out against you with two intentions,
I find you open to all, not constricted,

27. I petition like one demanding two rights.
It is not because I am the son of a father and brother

28. Our relationship combining two branches,
But it is due to my love and obedience to you, when

29. You found me the most loyal advisor.
I count your stature above my kinsmen

30. And my flesh - the greatest of two enemies.
When did we wear loyalty to you and I did not

31. Wake up with abundant fortune?
May God expand for me the horizon of my life

32. And let me gloat over the envious ones.
If I do not desire your survival for myself

33. Sincerely - not falsely or hypocritically -
And I rejoice in your supremacy out of my solicitude

34. With two eyes keeping watch and two ears,
And I give advice unsuspected

35. Unlike the two advisors and loving ones,
And I am not like the pretenders, out of caution

36. They love falsely and perceive hypocrisy.
They show acceptance though they harbor

37. Rancor and hatred like two misers.
Their eyes inform us about them

38. That they harbor two hatreds.
There, one strives to uncover your secret to the visitors

39. While the other shows you two faces.
How greatly they disbelieved in God when they prevented

40. Your kingdom like two seeking a debt.
How much they maligned me with ugliness and how much

41. They sharpened two noble swords
In order to provoke you or to sever what is between you

42. And I of kinship and what is between us.
Or to make my position equal to yours with you, but can

43. One catching up reach one with two wings?
You do not make an equal in your sweetness and your bitterness

44. Like the two misguided ones.
They bit their palms and your shoulders in anguish

45. Maliciously and dying like two with chronic diseases.
Indeed the glorious Imam, it became clear to him

46. And what was beneath every sense became clear.
The curse of God does not depart

47. Flowing on the most treacherous of the two parties.
And am I not a comfort that emerged

48. From you and your hands suffice the two arms?
And we have not seen, even if a bias became inflamed,

49. Affection more lasting than that of two brothers.
Your holidays that we were congratulated with through you

50. Congratulations, O unique one of the two eras!
We are congratulated for the holiday when

51. You are safe for us, and from you in two congratulations.
You emerged like the sun on its happiest day

52. But you increased in light over the two luminaries.
As if among the pleiades there stood erect from you

53. A moon of the sky and two cubs of a lion.
In a regiment dragging behind its horsemen

54. Troops that fill the two horizons.
So who is the advisor by whose comfort you were diverted

55. To you or the onlooker with two glances?
They looked from their Prophet to a nature

56. In you and a Muhammadan nature.
Until when you ascended their pulpit

57. And stood for praise between the two banners,
You frightened them with God then brought

58. Good tidings, clearing the two paths.
You combined a praise with an advice

59. For them and a promise in addition to two warnings.
You are the clear Imam, your wisdom manifest

60. And the unique scholar of the two tongues.
May God bless you from a King

61. Who counted his favors with two right hands.
And here they are, lasting like the bride

62. Radiant, strutting between two beauties.
More ablaze than the stance of farewell and than

63. A tear summoned by the agony of separation.
It pours torment upon the throats

64. Of two lam's among two coquettish ones.
And it disappears rarely when mentioned

65. Among two golden, jewel-like ones.
That is because the one I have praised with it

66. Is most deserving of the two praises.
And that the one who crafted those, embedded in them

67. Two lies in a lie and two falsehoods.
