1. Time has taken me captive
And the journey has wearied me

2. A long journey with no
coveted destination, a regretful disgrace

3. That tomorrow may fold
the length of the path and its hardships

4. His steps have hesitated aimlessly
While the consequence of his respite hastened

5. And his course was distorted unfairly
As the forearm shortens

6. Despair has spread in me for a lifetime
And I have been, and all of it is hope

7. And the lifetime of a person is a favor granted
Through which whatever is unbearable can be endured

8. For if it passes there is no trust
Nor capability, nor acceptance

9. I say and maybe through saying
it can be implored and supplicated

10. Can dreams restore
what has saddened the eyelids?

11. Can a prolonged endless night
be brightened before my eyes?

12. It is as if its stars are stones
moving on the chessboard

13. Some dropping others
and they do not stop fighting

14. Is there one who connects
what has tired the messengers?

15. And O my most beloved friends
who have parted and who have connected

16. And who are the elite of pleasures
when gathered around me?

17. They, when all who I encountered
were an inclusion and an impediment

18. Peace, all of it acceptance
as if its core is aflame

19. And longing from a stranger in the land
the paths to it have been lost

20. Residing where wishes are disturbed
and efforts and failure

21. And where afflictions battle him
and twist him and he straightens

22. And where his forehead is barren
and where his gardens are arid

23. And when the clouds of youth dispersed
their gusts and showers

24. Peace from my friend Danaf
ailments have eluded him

25. Lonely, not out of any sorrow
that festers in the tablet of his chest

26. And the memory of a bitter time
our first days

27. returned to him like the companion of shade
its vision and transition

28. Lonely with what he sang poetry to
and his cupbearer that is given as an example

29. And in the good he said
and bad that is widely disputed

30. Peace O you who are departing
I am soon to set out

31. Peace O you who are my imagination
your love preoccupies me

32. Peace O you who I regret
I am a drinker full

33. Peace O loved ones
I still hold love

34. Peace, all of it acceptance
as if its core is aflame
