1. Do you dwell after parting from dwellings
To a spear whose blade you have fed?

2. And show patience at his distance
While your heart in his hand is pledged?

3. You are pleased with joy that you have reaped
And next, your joy is sorrow.

4. You betrayed, though the love pact betrayed not.
Are you pleased with the betrayal of one who betrayed not?

5. You belittled what from his purpose was mighty
And what from his purpose was mighty did not weaken

6. So you and the grief of parting and sorrow
And loss of dignity are forever paired

7. If you die not in grief for separation
And longing for what you suffer, then who?

8. You departed from forms not unwillingly
So why do you multiply the pecking of time?

9. The turns of time will be averted from you
And lifted up by He who lifted up ibn al-Hasan

10. A youth claimed by the highlands of valor
And whiteness of swords and redness of blades

11. I saw his merits ere hearing of him,
Seeing with certainty so my eye was an ear

12. His fame passing by those who visit
And he counts gifts for those who visit
