1. I decided to divorce my difficult marriage
But she sought protection in your name, Qasim, and cried out

2. And called out the cry of one seeking refuge in your name
So I said, I will protect her as a neighbor, and she was reassured

3. Your protection with me is guaranteed as long as I live
And if she does not transgress, though she has grown old

4. O Qasim you are the refuge from what she fears
When the nights sin and become troubled

5. I pardoned her because I trust in your neighborliness
With your faithful companionship, even when the soul suspects

6. And I refrained from my decision to separate
When she feared the agony of separation would afflict her

7. It was not out of stinginess when I decided to leave her
But it was due to my share of your loyalty that she clung

8. My soul did not blame itself or break its vow
But it was the times that made her unstable

9. And you, whenever the soul of a free person sought
Refuge in you, gave whatever was wished for

10. Even if a group of lowlifes thought to sever
Your lofty connection, they would not dare oppose you

11. I say to the critics, your help for the thirsty
Is above reproach, even when the critic berates

12. Leave in peace, stinginess never crossed its path
Nor did it ever favor and then refuse to give again

13. It is not the way of Satan to habituate it to giving
Rather, it is the way of God that habituated it

14. O Qasim, your agreeable traits do not lack
When examined closely like dinars they ring true

15. Traits that when they intend good, hasten towards it
And when they intend evil, become slow

16. The world cried over your sorrows but when
Your status became clear, it rejoiced and sang your praises

17. It was insignificant but through you became great
It was called lowly but through you gained prestige

18. So that the world could enjoy your presence forever
Since it longed for you and yearned for so long

19. And it had an ancient love it hid
When you arrived, it unveiled what it had hidden

20. What is the matter of God's bounty, a face you carried
Did bounty marry it or just flirt?

21. It settled in bliss, God's bounty, when you arrived
It found peace and serenity in your shelter
