1. Blame of the critic increases whenever it intensifies,
And longing does not listen to some of the reproach.

2. Whoever blames in love is miserable,
It only made him sadder with melancholy.

3. My inner self that did not leave any yearning in it
Between my ribs yearning melts.

4. A glowing coal kindles in my inner self,
Live embers of talk, grief and inflammation.

5. O you who recovered from my torment through it,
I find your torment pleasant.

6. If they searched my body they would not see
Anything but grief roaming between clothes.

7. My illness and torment did not cease
On the illness of afflictions and folds of torment.

8. There is no good in love unless there was
In the selves of lovers traces of turmoil.

9. On the cheek of the one who wishes
From my blood, a drizzle, and on his palms from it, dye.

10. As if the dawn shone from his face,
And from his cheeks the wine melted.

11. So he did not shoot from the bow of his eyelids
At my heart with glances except hitting it.

12. When I complained to him of passion
With tongues of tears, he had mercy and responded.

13. He visited me under the porch of gloom
While the night was in the dye of the crow’s wing,

14. Its jewels gleam in the darkness
Like the moon in armor of clouds,

15. Concealing, scattering the darkness,
Bashful, from a slit and melancholy.

16. And the moon in its first appearance
Is like a line of gilded Nun in a book.

17. So he spent the night giving me from his company
Multiples of what he gave from avoidance.

18. When he quenched my thirst from his palm,
I mixed it with the wine of kisses.

19. As if it was in the cup what shone on
His cheek from the softness of the water of youth.

20. Until the night took over its army,
And the light of dawn untied the knot of the veil.

21. As if the night by its dawn,
It was muddy then cleared up.

22. Or it was like amber in its color,
So the justice of soft rain cleared it up.

23. Say to Abu al-Mansur, O best of those
Who established or urged for glory horses.

24. And O Imam, his kingdom was met
By manifestations of power from every door.

25. He who endowed you with ability and victory
Who gifted you with rule and the speech of judgment.

26. Indeed Ibn Hamdan turned away from his integrity
And wanted to gain ignorance, but failed.

27. The hope he disappointed him with it
And the water shone like a mirage.

28. So O Abu Taghlib, you were given what you wished
And threatened before striking.

29. How can a man who fled from the least barking of dogs
Meet the lion in you?

30. You fought the Imam of guidance with rebellion
And did not refrain from it, mighty and feared.

31. And his forgiveness was good for you
So what was good from it became bitter.

32. He sent you a message in white
Published for you, and you were the answer.

33. And the edge of the sword hurried your head
And left your body hostage to dust.

34. Thus is the one who loses his happiness like you
Only increases in alienation.

35. O son of Ma'add al-Din, rejoice, for
The kingdoms have extended to you the necks willingly.

36. And the knot of harm over your kingdom untied
Forcibly, and difficulties submitted to you in it.

37. Because you are the elite of Hashim
And the finest of its masters and essence.

38. The son of purity and the stone of guidance
The son of the Prophet of God, the son of the Book.

39. A palm that satisfies with reward is enough for you
Forgiveness, and a palm that satisfies with punishment.

40. How many hands have I been brought together
I have been dutiful to its favors, to the best of goals.

41. You continue to bring me closer and raise my hand
The act of the generous origin, free of flaws.

42. I rejoiced in your blessings showing needlessness
Fulfilling hopes, vastness of the sides.

43. By God, there is no hair on my body
Except my gratitude to you penetrates it.
