1. This beloved has persisted in his estrangement
And his aloofness has only grown

2. He who made sailing ships in the dimples
Of his cheek, and magic in his eyelids

3. I will not heed the slanderers about him though
He exceeded in his oppression and injustice

4. O my bosom friend, walk early at dawn
And let me drink from the draft you mix

5. Leave off blaming me for my infatuation
For I see not in aloofness what you see

6. The confidant has exceeded in his flow
And the censor has come in his time

7. And I see the two censurers between them
Pastures like the critic in his variations

8. In aspects of the beauty of his narcissus complexion
And his flawlessness and his saffron color

9. That is a blessed palace, eyes fall short
Of its lofty architecture

10. In it the Imam gained the Generosity of God
And the excellence of his kindness

11. We ask God to perfect for us
The goodness of his days and the blessing of his time

12. O cousin of the Prophet, wearing
His lights and proofs

13. The splendor of the caliphate has weakened
And the freshness of life has faded to its prime

14. And the servants saw you as God's blessings upon them
In His benevolence, favor, and grace

15. God knew how you are so He gave you
The sublime position of His authority

16. He placed the religion in your care and the world
So live in peace for us in His protection
