1. May he feel some of my pain, so he pardons or lessens his reproach,
And his heart clings to hope and despair regarding my condition of remoteness and nearness.

2. And longing springs from him to console me,
As the tattoo springs on dyed skin.

3. Yes, and his father, had the branches of youth not withered in him
And the secret promise did not become a wink

4. To him from behind the veil,
And he saw how the nights adorn him

5. With times of intimacy and caresses,
And how union is stolen without a promise

6. After rejection and avoidance,
And words of refusal appear

7. Gently during reproachful conversation,
And he sipped the ripe lips

8. Illuminated by the smile of contentment,
And spent the night kissing it insistently

9. While the breasts refused hardship,
He would have been my aid and seen my errors

10. Far from right and proper.
And realized that the reproach of passion is disastrous,

11. Yet living in that torment is sweet.
I will race in love the steeds of intimacy,

12. And spur them wantonly.
I will drink my share of youth deeply,

13. Before it passes and turns away.
When forty years appear before me,

14. My youth prepares to leave.
If it left, I would achieve more than it,

15. For I would be under the shade of my soil.
A man who gathered all virtues so they are in him

16. As they were fated to be.
He bought good praise at every price,

17. And walked the path of highness through every door.
So he gained praise and glory

18. Through effort, striving, and earning.
By sword and pen he has pride

19. Magnified among fighters and books.
So his hand enriches on days of gifts

20. And his sword devastates on days of fighting.
He has a palm that brings back bounty and reveals,

21. Watering seas and clouds.
Through it, freshness overflows to all who are well,

22. Like the sea's overflow with foam.
His hands are blessed and grace,

23. Adorned with the crafts' necklaces.
If you desire a sign of merit,

24. Yours for the taking without veil.
His generosity benefits you with wealth and status,

25. And rises above request and ambition.
You can nearly gain what you seek from him

26. Of what students desire.
His merit prides itself in every

27. Noble deed, for beauty and reward.
For the house of my father Shujaa,

28. Virtues in reality and words have grown great.
Faces of beauty with chastity,

29. And deeds of beauty without conceit.
Your rule, oh Shah of Shahs, has exalted you

30. So through your merit we have the honor of affiliation.
So his praises of you do not cease

31. Succeeding between travel and pouring.
You are between the thankful and praising

32. Whose tales spread, and the praying whose prayers are answered.
