1. I wish the mixture that has appeared had not appeared
Rather I wish what was of your love had not been

2. It is more fitting for the eyes that their tears should flow
An eye cried its passion at a beautiful sight

3. Patience is best at the separation of a beloved
Between remoteness I am between misery and grief

4. O joy for me from the sun that rose
In the meadows amidst a flock of fluttering moths

5. A sandy dune in its loftiness, so alluring
With a morning sun at the top of that allure

6. When the eye falls upon it, it falls
Only on a seduction among the most fatal seductions

7. She stood, bending in her stature
As if the staff of the myrtle had not bent

8. In a little while, I will have a conscience that does not blame me
And a heart that is not hostage to passion for you

9. When worries take residence in a person's mind
Misery travels but does not settle in a home

10. After joining the ruins, the marshes of Dijlah brought us to you
Pushed by a caravan of boats

11. The winds' quirks, it defies and avoids them
Guided calmly by a piece of wood without oars

12. We came to you bearing words adorned
As if they were scented with the blessings of Yemen

13. As if while walking the sand dunes
In the hands of Imru’ al-Qais or Nāil al-Hasan

14. We send rhymed poetry together to the Lord of poetry
Like one carrying allies sends them to Aden

15. The most radiant of all flowers
Remaining through time and the rest of time

16. The gratitude of one who remained busy thanking you instead
Of excessive crying over ruins and remains

17. I said, when you extended your palms from my hopes
Whatever fate wills, so let it be

18. I was satisfied with morals from you that have mixed
With virtues, the mixing of spirit with body

19. And you increased my desire to tie the knot of your love
When you combined that dew with discernment and wisdom

20. A palm of yours draws near to glory, having become
Familiar with giving and generosity, like an eye to kohl

21. Whoever passion settles in from one he loves, and whoever
Yearns, you have no home but glory as a settle
