1. I wander lost in your abandonment, my tears flowing
Will your estrangement ever cease, now that my tears stream?

2. I implored your affection—do not leave me to it
I found only a heart enamored with moons

3. I set my heart free in the field of passion—so it ran
Against its will, stoking nothing but fire within me

4. Neither distance nor passion's excess was my misstep
By friendship we take refuge from leaning toward others

5. It suffices me that my deeds are known to the sleepless eyed one
He watches for my devotion in a patient heart

6. If not for my pact with tears, the gossips would not know
Of my sickness—my secrets remain hidden

7. If only I had refused since his faith strayed
From me and my reason ceased to shoulder burdens

8. Neither did my trick make him love me nor did anyone
Eulogize my torment and the course of my thoughts

9. Why do my tears flow while my patience remains?
My visitors wander lost, sickened

10. I swore none grieved like me before in love
For an absent beloved who comes with excuses

11. I gained no blame but the problem which befell
Me in a shameful night from his affairs

12. Leave me be—my delight is through him for all time
How many signs of sincere madness lead to the chosen

13. If my illness is cured by union, then join
That my spirit might remain and my memory

14. I do not seek to divert my passion—his nearness
Is light that illuminates my sight

15. Yes, one blameworthy in love has risen against me
My soul imperiled by his betrayal

16. I complain of none but a youth for my woes
I wish he were true in state and deed

17. A servant to the Clement Creator of men, and one
Enriched and content in decree and ordainment

18. The sail of unique glory among his clan
A man whose resolve spread through lands

19. You have ascended, O best of sons, the renown of a father
Who calls the foe to fear and shame

20. You have drunk from the bounty of recognition, cleansing with it
The concerns of ignorant and evil folk's terrors

21. You have rebuffed with warning the party of ignorance—they scattered
And injustice became lowly and gloomy

22. The resolve of equity did not falter in an era
Whose moments you graced with your sight

23. By God, none in existence compares to a man
Whose being the elite of the noble desire

24. You built in your land for benevolence a home
Whose pens flow like rivers

25. Congratulations spread, O you who spread good
In a land where you are the best of the righteous

26. You have granted us abundant tranquility created
As a sincere friend wherever settled, for the bitter

27. You have paved the way in your enclosure for sciences
Seeking to free slaves and freemen alike

28. You have turned injustice from us with justice from betrayers
And so they submitted, a group who bargained in dinars

29. You have cast them with no doubt in plain sight
They are left blind in a tyrant's prison

30. Most of them died of delusion in the moment
Their loss and demise made swift by the Maker

31. Their leader did not know the unjust have
Endless worries that will come to pass

32. Do you not see the resolve of benefaction raised
Yesterday to glory, in ascendance and decline?

33. The edifices of knowledge for us have lasted and towered—
Its expanse greeted us above trees

34. Dear friend, your chant made us one
A clement man whose sword adorns with flowers

35. His hopes undividedly obedient
However far the horizon that news traverses

36. If I was inclined to verse, my aim
Is not reward but nearness to my poems

37. The crescent moon of glory sublime with light
Rejoice! Egypt has sung you chronicled

38. As forbearance among the people, my partisans
