1. I warned love even if my warning enriched it,
And I fled from separation even if my fleeing rescued it.

2. Yet the turns of fate continued, until
The names of spacious tombs prevailed.

3. And I was not given rest, though wishes increased,
And this love prevents my peace.

4. The roses are jealous that I traveled, and their
Changing color shows gloom in the rosebud.

5. Your love blinded me, so the speck remains in my eye,
And gray hair plays in my braids.

6. Because of the blushing in your cheeks,
And the batted lashes of your eyes.

7. If I leave you wrongly, I will indeed
Be sad on the day of parting.

8. And how many nights I spent with you,
Enamored nights and brief days.

9. So am I selling a life for a life past,
Or exchanging a house for a house?

10. My harassers blamed names unjustly,
And my pouring tears are plenty.

11. Whenever you blame me again,
Sleep as a borrowed pillow.

12. When the passionate become evening,
And the envious become morning.

13. When his loved ones become evening,
They prepare and make ready for ruin.

14. When he desires his bed at night,
Oh disgrace of the cushions and pillows.

15. Oh misery of the bedfellow, having found
A rigid mixture next to him as company.

16. The clothes of a king were never packed
With the fleas of a worn-out coat.

17. If only we were able, we would ransom
Pieces of writings from it with ruin.

18. It destroys passions on the day of regret,
And it ruins provision on the day of drunkenness.

19. It kneads, so it finishes off the bread, a glutton
Recently familiar with syrup poured freely.

20. We repelled him, despised,
And he spread destruction upon the land.

21. He was more malicious among them than Suhayl,
When it sets, with inauspicious rising of stars.

22. The people perished until I said they returned
To the war of dirhams or immorality.

23. If not for God and the honored supporter of the religion,
Many a monastery would have perished like Jurayr.

24. He embraced a confused group among us,
On the brink of a burning pit.

25. With His eternal tolerance and
Forgiveness and power spread wide.

26. A leader of guidance who endears deliberation,
And is feared in tranquility and dignity.

27. When the delegations look upon him, they say:
"Is it the full moon of night or the sun of day?"

28. To him belong the two virtues - the virtue of father and mother,
And the good fragrance of the generous family.

29. We mentioned him for the events of the nights,
So we praised the camps of Dhi al-Faqar.

30. O Commander of the Faithful, your being called is an ocean,
When it floods, it reduces the seas!

31. You are most generous, extending your palm,
And most forgiving to the seekers and the active.

32. And most protective of the guarantee, if
We come to you with it, and most defensive of the guaranteed.

33. If the ransom is completed, as we hope,
By your good fortune, after waiting.

34. Then of your most pure traits, is to return
The estranged ones back to their tribes and homes.

35. You spent money on them that they may return
To their tribes and homes.

36. O you who performed a deed that its example is gifted
To the people of resolve and brave heroes.

37. You won, by the goodness of its reputation, a lover,
And by its nobility he attained the honor of excellence.

38. You observed a trust from him and sincere advice,
And you are successful in your choices.

39. And he won your faithfulness honored,
And risked when enticed by dangers.

40. And he preferred you and did not prefer over you,
When the world of positions was paved for him.

41. When they drew him near and socialized with him,
He recoiled from them and avoided their company;

42. Shy that it be said he came with betrayal,
And noble that the place of dishonor be his.

43. And the ambition of the independent soul aspires
With its ambition to the greatest positions.

44. I thanked you in rhyme on behalf of my intercessor for me,
My companion, neighbor, and my confidante.

45. And your master whom you continue to be pleased with
And praise his absence in visiting.

46. So we do not lack your continued joy
And honor as long as the darkness flows!
