1. Do not despair though you were alone in anguish,
Every heart bleeds for the wounds of your heart.

2. If they dismissed you from leadership,
You remain foremost in the realm of minds.

3. On the banks of Jordan flows a stream
With shanks that swirl a cup of wine.

4. Harbingers of spring have illuminated
A barren land with flowers and fragrance.

5. My greetings to al-Khalil and al-Shawqi
And the keeper of the sublime system.

6. Al-Thurayya that I came upon
With little provisions and near darkness.
