1. When the caravan set out alone,
It was a solace for tears till they subsided,

2. And the intention was a decree of fate however it flows,
So disentangle what makes a lover feel anguished and decay.

3. So take the blame lightly, I am,
Excessive in passion if you don't reproach.

4. Those are her days that have passed,
Of the best life, now gone, and time has turned away.

5. And an imagination that hurt me for a moment,
Of estrangement, so I said "welcome" and "farewell!"

6. Love is not wasted, nor is the friend forgotten,
Who wasted love and turned away.

7. May God protect him wherever he came to be,
And may He forsake him wherever he turned and settled.

8. A lover is tranquilized by my estrangement, which increases
His coldness, even as I grow more affectionate.

9. If I could, I would have eased,
My beloved's burden when he turned away.

10. God forbid that I should find solace,
From him for long, or feel comforted!

11. I have worn love, though it be painful,
Borne it, though heavy,

12. And surrendered to serve my master -
It is rare for a lover to be so humble.

13. The caliphate has been granted,
To the most pious servant of God, an abode and refuge.

14. May God unite its leadership in his hands,
And make it proper and fitting for him.

15. And if only its loyalists would support him,
Giving him the height of the heavens, or he be higher!

16. A king whom, whenever he appeared to your eyes,
I said: "a turbulent sea", and "a rising full moon".

17. Wearing the garment of dignity, and with the sword -
It befits him to be decorated.

18. O beauty of the world, glory and honor,
O fruits of the world, generosity and kindness!

19. Whenever the efforts of Quraish come to fruition,
You have flourished into its most perfect branch and origin.

20. Yours is the purest share, undoubtedly,
And the most sublime lineage.

21. O son of the Prophet's uncle, the devout and generous,
The perfect one whose merits have shone.

22. Theirs are Zamzam, and the courtyard of Kaaba,
The Black Stone, and Safa and Marwa.

23. Whoever refuses your love cannot be,
Of God, even if he fasts a thousand years and prays!

24. Your undeniable right continues to erase,
The falsehood of the usurper until it fades away.

25. We have sought but found no equal to you,
In generosity, glory, and nobility.

26. You are the most generous, noblest in manners,
Most truthful in words, and most benevolent in deeds.

27. Good fortune has dawned upon you, so rain has poured,
As drizzle in your field, and poured down.

28. And Eid has come in thick clouds,
That followed the horizon's ailment till it recovered.

29. It presented you with its boons,
And the sky spoke of you with rain and downpour.

30. That is a grace you were granted - you are indeed,
More deserving and worthy than all mankind.

31. And a gift from God - so you should never,
Cease being humble, upholding that gift.
