1. I glorified in you emotions and talents
And fulfilled an obligation for geniuses, a duty

2. The realms, diverse worlds, were illuminated
By the creative ones; they had been ruins before

3. An honor, the dean of the house is of high rank
You were appointed to it among the immortals

4. Your fatigue of heart was recompensed, so the fatigue of mind
Did not bother you, erecting adversities

5. It was given by a hand that contains shortcomings
Reasons understand by solving it, and wonders

6. It was extended to raise the lowly, a status
And collapsed to slap the most just, demands!

7. And it went on to liberate a thousand articles
On how they should respect a rising generation

8. While it exhausts a poet with stubbornness
Who guides his citizens, and kills a writer

9. “O Family of Hashim” who showed you an hour
In which conscience awakens! An oft-returning conscience

10. Thank them for taking a stand
And blame them for leaning to one side

11. And be careful that they may make you pay its reward!
And expect this “money changer” to calculate

12. By God, your worth - which rescuer
Sends remedies to the disease in battalions?

13. Seventy years you wandered in its expanses
Crying bitterly or conversing cordially

14. Defying the rule of nature! And defending
The wrath of heaven and struggling with destiny!

15. Feeling the “pulses” - stirrings of your face - eagerly or devoutly
And imminent! Death wove its clothes

16. You dressed it in the clothes of life, pulling
And suffering the torment of death, you accompanied it

17. Since you did not find any escape from misery however difficult
And terrified when the turtledoves stood at his door

18. So you drove them away from him, and they were pushed away disappointed
How often you sought stars that disappear

19. Among us, and elevated a penetrating star
This youth, and the prime of your life,

20. Is the glory of the country, driving away harm
This planting, and the delight of your eye is joy

21. That we picked ripe fruits from its branches
This spring, whose stream you let flow

22. Life’s face will become verdant because of it
These palms resting on chests gently

23. Like rain on meadows, stars falling down
You stood by the disabled all day long

24. And stayed up all night “as a genius”, erect
And hugged those families atop which

25. A striped lion rages, furious and raging
A scent of memories surrounds you, its fragrance

26. Increasing the consolidated side
And because you protected the house the day it was violated

27. A garden that plants in the most arid of lands
The transgressor supports with bullets, roaring

28. While righteousness supports with stones, quarreling
And because you have wounded the heart with sorrow

29. For those wounded with gashes, alternating
The feasts of a kingdom are being married to its glory

30. The youth’s pearls to dust, stars to stars
Those who hug their wounds as if

31. They are hugging prey, gazelles and does
And the patient who give their souls

32. And who embarrass the generous giver
The bowers of heavens opened their sides

33. With the pus of those wounds, a giver
And with the death throes of the departed, provoking

34. Caravans to the caravans coming and going
The living go by those graves though they have become

35. With the blood pouring from them, meadows
And the fertile shroud is committed to the like

36. A nation that will rise every day, harvesting
Baghdad - glory used to be your mate

37. Frolicking, and firewood that kindles the striker
And a goblet of wine soliciting a reveler

38. And basil sprigs scattered around
While the bridge grants eyes from the bending over

39. On the passersby, ropes and fittings
Praise history when those

40. Taverns changed and took on ordeals
Poetry has become a game for a player

41. Unless it pours ember and burning coal
And the goblet returned a cup of death

42. The youth shines with it, and a drinker wipes
And the bridge prides that upon its surface

43. Are the corpses of victims that left stretches!
And upon the glimmer of death, caravans traveled

44. White, gazelles rush forth, bands
Tell the dean of the house how lairs changed

45. Domes that were combatants yesterday
How glory turned into avoided disgrace

46. And gifts from men became dispraised!
And how the “scoundrel” violated the sanctity of one who quenched

47. These abodes with precious blood, flowing
Alas, “dean of the house” - every villain

48. Is bound to find a villainous companion
And for every “obscenity” the wares of a despicable

49. Market that allows it a willing demander
And they have seen prey among us

50. And found a hunting dog roaming!
So they trained it, and it set out happily

51. To sharpen fangs and claws for them
Until when strife grew intense and

52. A fire flared that surrounds distances and relations
They stuck to their dens as their mildness took flight

53. Frightened, and lions turned into rabbits!
Alas, “dean of the house”! The complaint of a companion

54. Whose ulcers burst and he whispered to a companion
I was told that you do not stop asking

55. About me, pleading to one coming or going
And say how can a shining “star” remain

56. Filling eyes, absent from circles?
Now I inform you of the truth as

57. Morning illuminated the eyes from darkness
For I was silent to the addressors when I did not find

58. One deserving the echo of complaint, addressed
I inform you of the evil of the tyrants - freely

59. Boasting, and efforts and acquisitions
Those who drink the blood of youth because

60. If they got some of their blood, it would be the drinker!
And those who resent the country because it

61. Despised them the contempt of the thief, usurper
And because it always tramples snakes

62. Among them whose poisons swell, and scorpions
It paralyzed the hands of the colonizers and its imposition

63. Of that attachment to blood, levies
He entrusted them with his burden so they bore

64. Its weights “like clothes,” struggling
And melted them into “atrocities” so they became

65. Among them transgression within transgression, melted
The aggressor delays the consequences of his aggression

66. Yet you see them hasten consequences
As if inevitable fates, obscurities

67. Black, inflict upon them wishes and booty
I said to the complainers that a “gang”

68. Usurped the rights of the majority, toying:
If only the “loyalists” would usurp by their command

69. Rather, if only they would take on “the usurper”!
So they make peace with valor and manliness

70. And fight “doctrines”! And sects
I notify you of the evil of tyrants out of vengeance

71. For those who let conscience and duty influence them
They have been stricken with me like a flaming thunder

72. And I have been stricken with them, a constant liar
They mustered against me the enticements, prompting

73. The desires of the vilest, wishes
With the cup, a reveler clinks it, touching

74. The two lips with promise, all of them
And with those private sessions in which

75. Necks of gazelles from the hills turn into foxes!!
And that I go in the morning, a minister, just as

76. I became responsible for a matter at night
Thinking that my hand extends to buy

77. The fallen wares, and that I sell talents
And that behind my back a homeland walks

78. I cemented its throat, and waived
Until they congealed a fiercely thorny

79. Canal that injures whoever came to it, chopped
And despaired of it, and of one hardened

80. In enmity like grains of sand, an angry blower
The guardsman continues to hold himself accountable

81. Until another than him accounts, accountable
And earns the praise of the majority, proudly

82. And earns the dispraise of the majority, blames!
Until the soldier tightened his belt

83. And saw virtue in remaining a fighter
They rallied against him hunger, baring its fang

84. In the skin of a “comfortable”, not minding biting!
And upon the courage of the lion, the rents of their slippers!

85. Purer than the ostentatious, acquisitions
Wondering where they take down their countries?

86. Or cut across, pieces to pieces?
Whether the rulers wring their blood

87. Or attack the pale-faced, grim
The land bears witness that it was dyed with blood

88. From me, and it was the broth of bliss, the harvester
What does hunger matter? Lofty glory

89. That I remain with the subjects, ardent
That I remain with the subjects, exhausted

90. That I remain with the subjects, craving
They brag that they dammed a raging

91. Wave against it, and channels and dens
They lied - for my mouth is full of my poems

92. Forever roaming easts and wests
Pulling from their nails, and toppling from

93. Their worth, and melting imagined glory, lying
I am their demise - I provoke the cub

94. To insult them, and the eyebrowed
Wretched ones - for manliness remains free

95. Refusing to it other than the inclinations, suitor
And the ideal ones are the masses - so my ransom

96. Is the vilest of the buyers, positions
Enthroning foreign rulers of their selves

97. And mounting the masses, howdahs
“Family of Hashim” - do you know which burning thirst

98. This skin you see it blossoming, pale?
Trampling tyrants with the savagery of my slipper

99. And I sneer with contempt when I see
The knitted brows upon life, scrambling

100. I grieve for the state of those adorning litters
While they are frowning, dwellings

101. By God, the worth of a father who sees me standing tall
For the emigrant women, he rubs my face, erecting

102. I lap the flowing water, and my livelihood
Is breaking bread, foods and drinks

103. I bequeathed the fluttering shadows, breezes
Not to cool from my aroma, flaming

104. And called upon the darkness of night to draw for me
Among the shining stars, dwellings

105. And forbade the specters of enticements, brides
From returning to it as a pasture of passion, playing

106. I am not who gives time its lead
And goes away from a path it paved, bent

107. I decided to storm the tyrants, proclaiming
Since I am not accustomed to being the fleer

108. And planted my feet in their torment’s hellfire
And stood fixed where I see the fleeing refugee

109. And left the fawn from their nipples
To wish upon the breasts, the milker

110. And for the hypocrite lying in wait
Herding circumstances! Accompanying or distancing

111. He meets blood with beasts by day
And returns by night! The devout monk

112. While the desires of life make his saliva run
And flame his trunk and the stranger

113. He lived life hunting in its turbidity
And floundering in its darkness, chopped

114. Until when ambitions receded their faces
From him, and the shroud knitted its brow

115. He threw his garb at the side of the road
Guiding the misguided the affectionate road

116. Two lines never separated, so either a scheme
The masses meet tyrants with, positions

117. Or a pitfall that drags from it
A feeder or drinker

118. There must be, “Hashim” - and time, as you see
Runs with the pure nectar, impurities

119. And dawn inevitably champions “its rooster”
And drives away “a crow” from night, wailing!

120. And the land becomes populated with people - so you will not see
An ill-omened owl liking ruins

121. And dreamers will come to when these ghosts
Disperse, tricksters and liars

122. A return is inevitably to its lovers
Those eras, even if deemed lost

123. I honored in you feelings, talents
And fulfilled an obligation to brilliance, a duty

124. The realms, diverse worlds became illuminated
With the creative - they were ruins before

125. Honor - the elder of home has high position
You were appointed it among the eternal

126. Your fatigue of heart recompensed, so fatigue of mind
Did not bother you, putting up adversity

127. It was given by a hand holding shortcomings
Minds understand in solving, wonders

128. It extended raising the lowly, status
And collapsed slapping the most just, demands!

129. And went freeing thousands articles
On respecting a rising generation

130. While exhausting a poet with stubbornness
Guiding citizens, and killing a writer
