1. Tell my treasure in misfortunes and my wealth
And my beauty among people and my pride

2. And my tongue which I shed when speech
Freezes from it prose and poetry

3. And my hand which I extend to take
The mint without measure

4. And my breeze if it was ignited by heat
And my warmth if the tooth of cold bit it

5. And my bliss whether wrongdoing was thrown at me
Or my benefit if harm intended me

6. And my rescue and the one to whom my return
Is after my Lord in my ease and difficulty

7. The soul of the body of perfection, a royal hawk
Of the highest glories, the human eye of time

8. Pure origin, brilliant grace, fulfilling
Intellect, high in rank, high in worth

9. A mountain of patience, a knot of knowledge, intense understanding,
A forenoon of fame, an oft-repeated mention

10. The noble one who showed us with his
Guidance the path of the pure Prophet

11. Generosity in asceticism, and modesty
In dignity, and chastity in patience

12. And he restored the ancient from the nobility of origin
As something new and redressed the past mention

13. With attributes that bees swarm from the partnership of number
And the range of confinement springs from it

14. The merit of knowledge has never slipped in its path
The plebeian one day and the literary scholar has not comprehended it

15. Refined manners that combine the men
Of prose in it to the men of poetry

16. And intelligence and insight like what
The morning breeze scatters to the embers

17. And original jurisprudence that sings
Without regressing in it to Zayd and Amr

18. We have not seen him when a question was presented
That was subtle or serious, saying "I do not know"

19. A guarantor in answering that no doubt remains
In a soul and no confusion of a breast

20. And speeches the truth smells of musk
And a scent breeze from it

21. A delicate sprout grew between
A pure Imam of justice and righteousness

22. And a judgment of separation that returns the two adversaries
As allies pleased with it and grateful

23. Enlightened of proof he received a touch
From the judgment of Amr’s killer

24. And an explanation that if it were between
Hayyan's swordsmen they would have sheathed the swords of cutting

25. And argumentation that meets adversaries with what
Moses met Pharaoh's sorcerers with

26. And a poem that if its sayer presented it
Imruʾ al-Qays would have wished him a father instead of a stone

27. It climbed in meaning and uncovered from the thickness of words
Of firm strength, severe bond

28. So it is from the softness of meanings and thickness of
Expression, a wine whose clouds clear it, cupholders of stone

29. A flirtation that provokes what the chaste
Days hid of the pictures of platonic love

30. He who it provokes is not excused if he does not
Defile in love removing the excuse

31. And inheritances that renew what the nights destroyed
Of Kinthah's sadness, crags of Sakhra

32. Every crying verse shows you the smallness
Of sorrow from the heat of its burning, that of greatness

33. A hand whose gifts do not distinguish, ascetically,
Between pebbles and dust

34. And smiles whose sincerity sheds upon its enjoyers
The water of glad tidings

35. It is enough of whoever it makes fertile when
The crisis of barren years intensified upon him

36. An enlightened one who does not possess distinguishing
Between its delight and that of the full moon

37. And qualities that the land prides itself on when
It reveals from the blossoms of flowers

38. Surely a servant you fed the pearl of kindness
And furnished him the bed of righteousness

39. Cannot reward those great hands
With anything but sincere praise

40. And the aspects of praise are neglect, so they do not
Look good unless branded with the clarity of poetry

41. So string each pearl what a diving hand contained
And nautilus of the sea grasped

42. And I see it extends the hand of praise so fold
His praise with the excuse

43. Except that I complain to him of a brotherly love
That if I wanted to mend it he wished to break it

44. He reckoned my closeness to him the hope of enriching me
So he turned away from me fearing my poverty

45. I shared with him the harm one day
So he erased his share and affirmed my share

46. And saw it as spoils in his persistence
On rejection, scarcity, and estrangement

47. A scheme I do not see people of decency
Covered in dust pursuing, or the inebriated

48. By my life this is not my sin but
His ease I do not flee from and my hardship

49. Without innovation so is everyone who
At times is deprived of his world then enriched

50. The mounts stumbled with the newly rich
Carrying them with no blame to the stumbling

51. Surely abundance has incidents so why did they not
Make me one of the incidents of abundance

52. O pillar of Islam, O protection of the religion
Of Hanifiyya, O beauty of the age

53. I traveled the lands east and west
And flipped people belly up and back

54. And I tasted every flavor so I became
An expert in every sweet and bitter

55. So heading to the house in a convoy
They leaned for the reward

56. Every crooked one like an ostrich carrying
A pale lad like a lit match

57. And by what the valleys of guidance kissed
Of comfort the morning of sacrifice

58. By my life I did not find but you one of covenant
Perfect, free of the blemishes of betrayal

59. And affection that does not change with
Causes or the light of dawn changes

60. Without innovation, the precedence of Najd
Is protected, its affair like the eagles of Egypt

61. And the antique of an Egyptian in the tongues of the nation
Is a soaring which the new of Basra does not equal

62. O brother of Hashim son of Abd Manaf
An invitation from your brother, abundant flooding

63. If the rain of your generosity revived it
It has a poverty for that rain

64. And a twig you made bloom yesterday turned
Today barren, losing leaves and peel

65. Do not leave me to my shyness so I suffer
Every malady, the shyness of the free

66. Or my sin that I show you the state
Of my situation and the face of the wealthy enricher

67. You know that I roam and wander
With a hand dyed by none but you, empty

68. Where is my closeness to you that people envied me
For my connection above the notables of my time

69. And the position you imagined people that I
In it am the ambassador of my life

70. And my sitting from you in the position that rivals
Turn away from in faces of eagles

71. And my entry to those meadows every river
Ascetically adjacent to it dries out

72. So it is as if the life that was for me
With you flew with the arrivals of falcons

73. Do you see me discard my pact or wear
One day the faith of my affection with blasphemy

74. Or you realized my public loyalty and affection
Does not match my private

75. Or did a man come to you and tell you I
Suddenly assail the gentle

76. Or a dream showed you I am diseased
So you avoided me for the appearance of my intoxication

77. Or I neglected the prayers, did not establish dawn
And did not care for the duty of noon

78. Or I met the month of fasting with breaking
And did not celebrate the matter of the month

79. All this I did not do, or do you suppose days
Spoke of the expensiveness of price

80. Do not leave me to the people of this time, you
Know their inclination to stinginess

81. So be in my appeal to you from the days
Of my life as the desperate appeals to Amr

82. And detain me or bring me closer
If the intents turned away from me after prosperity

83. And though I see you, if closeness
Falls short in situations of travel

84. You begin something for me beyond protection
Without my patience, the drawing of patience

85. Breadth in asking is narrowness and ease
In it is hardship and profit is the head of loss

86. So there is better in it than satiation of hunger
And more intimate than the dress of nakedness

87. A stance the brave whose brother is honor
Prefers if the riding of escape seizes him

88. And my taking this path of shame
And extending the tongue of indignity

89. A scheme, had I will in it,
I would not undertake all of life

90. Days of hardship rode me on its rough
Road, directing the lad to ride the rugged

91. You are one in whom there is no room for directing
Blame, or debasement of decreasing

92. By my life I indeed verified your baptizer's words
And I lengthened from Al-Mutarri's tongue

93. If one called glorious but you is called
From all the other speech, it is nonsense

94. I do not see among the people of your time one who surpasses
An extent you surpass, competing

95. They are not genuine pearls, but your
Position among them is the center of the order of pearls

96. In villages and recitations you blocked so you became,
May God shepherd you reciting and making recite

97. The mention did not ease of one time eased him
And spends the night fallen, and your mention flows

98. You are like the full moon in a position
Of the horizon, and its light clothes every region

99. People disdained perfection so if
It were sold to them they would not buy it with attainment

100. So listen to it if you, O dear brother
Recite it, it suffices the hearing of dignity

101. It almost whitens from the clarity of its
Meanings and its words, the blackness of ink

102. Sweetened so it is the hive of bees whitened
After being filtered with the water of excuse

103. A pearl it encased so it displayed it
Prices evade it seashells of thought

104. And a virgin bride, if her suitor glimpses her
Her expensive dowry does not discourage him

105. So enjoy it as the best days grant
In my doctrine is the enjoyment of the virgin
