1. O Abu al-Saqr do not leave me to travel
To you, prepare like your peers.

2. I see my soul's determination sitting still
When I intend to come to you.

3. For what fate has set out from my concerns
And for what God has elevated in your status.

4. I fear you, fearing one held in great esteem
For your merit not the merit of your power.

5. And moreover my condition is not one
In which I see myself worthy of your tent.

6. So it is not in my determination to rise up
Towards you unless aided by your supporters.

7. And if you wished you would say: stay firm guided
So there would be no fault of mine but rather of being deprived by you.

8. But you have refused that highness for yourself
And good extract of your limbs' sap.

9. Help me by giving me your bounty, be intimate with it
And prepare my tools for meeting you.

10. For I am not the first who visited him
From the furthermost and your neighbors.

11. Do you dislike an excellent nature?
We have praised it over some of your brothers.

12. The clouds travel with their heaviness
And they have no expanse of wide plains like yours.

13. So they water where we live on their way
And they have no accumulated honor like your white hairs.

14. And whoever was unable to achieve anything but you
Is more rightful for your possibilities.

15. So say to your clouds, travel towards him
Tomorrow, grant it to him with your overflow.

16. For how many beggars have you enriched?
And their homelands other than yours.

17. And how many weak in body have you helped stand
Up right by the strength of your pillars?

18. And the likes of me was afflicted
But it was removed by your benevolence.

19. And it is the way of your glory to be sought
Drinking from the vessels of your generosity.

20. With your help, he who hopes in you stands up
For with you lies abundance and with your carriers.

21. For that the people commend you
With the most fragrant scent of your plains.
