1. You were distressed, so your eyes shed tears of blood,
And do not cry except with kohl of beauty,

2. You will not be obeyed if you pretend to be sleepless,
Unless you act like those who are sleepless,

3. Or else ask the person of your eye what is wrong with him,
To every person your heart rushes.

4. An eye for which I neglected sleep like blame upon it,
So my sleep and my blame are equal in hatred.

5. I entered upon her when she took shelter under her shelter,
And she did not appreciate my injustice and I said to her "Conceal,"

6. And she did not know what to conceal and became confused,
So I said "If you do not do good, then learn."

7. When an eyelid of yours is narrowed with water, then conceal
Its contours from the eyes of people and be silent.

8. The most beautiful one refused that it be said to me
As it was said "Love made me blind."

9. He has a glance that left nothing of me but passion,
And had it been up to me, it would always remain my oath.

10. And a night when my limbs slept,
Except for an eyelid that I kept for seeing in the dark.

11. I rode while the sea was flowing on land,
Over the sun in a darkness from the night, obscure.

12. And I made the toes of the horses their bellies
Above the surface of the water, walking like dots.

13. And they did not know what the tears yielded in them,
Rather they suspected the generosity of Ali son of Mulham.

14. A young man who, on the day of battle, does not see
Every frowning face that attacks him but as prey for frowning.

15. He has two hands of generosity that when they raid
Destruction, time never heard of something destroyed.

16. And a day of meeting when the strokes split his sword
For a day of praise that has no pretender.

17. So how many archers whose help was sought
When the enemies overwhelmed him, said words tending to truth:

18. "Did not his swords addressing you before this
Contain enough proof for one who surrenders?"

19. "Leave me and the times of safety, they are
Few, the one who seeks peace through them will have safety."

20. For I was not one who feeds the birds his flesh
With the sword of a young man whose taste was my taste.

21. And how many orbits of generosity revolved and did not cease
To turn my tongue with praise in my mouth.

22. I have cut off to you those who respond with themselves
Upon it, and they did not hasten to precede in sacrifice.

23. O Abul Hasan, so be gentle with them to let them attain
For the generous is not like the pretender.
