1. News in which Nujayd is mentioned is narrated to us
My tears burst forth, and with Nujayd they are narrated

2. And with him his outpouring and lament are narrated
And if more than a downpour is added to the pouring, there is no wonder

3. Because my heart is melting from being separated from him
And it has not known any rest or tranquility ever

4. I courted youth and passion
And his loss left me bewildered, unable to be sober

5. My heart wandered, so I sought to unite with him
But fate prevented it until the life of the lovesick ended

6. I suffered, and nothing makes one suffer like passion
And the separation of lovers is among the greatest sufferings

7. My love for him is like the miser's love of his money
Content for it to burden me, even with harm

8. If someone gave me a sip from his saliva
I would know the favor is sweeter than drink

9. So I bowed my head when the beloved turned away
And parted from the pleasures and distractions of youth

10. I traveled the wide world on a fine steed
The carpets of meadows folded up in their festivals

11. To the land’s standard and the rain of its places
Happy is he from whose palm generosity is known

12. The daring sultan who attacked
With a sword, showing sharpness on the day of battle

13. His repose is a blazing hell for the enemy
While for his loyal friends it is the garden of refuge

14. Mighty when the heroes’ struggle intensifies
No hero withstands on the day of struggle

15. He strove for supremacy until he rose above the pinnacles
With firm resolve, attaining the highest pinnacle

16. A noble youth whose deeds outpace his words
And his promises are true, never erring

17. Solving the most difficult problems with skill
When hopes are cut off, none but him is hoped in

18. He is the learned scholar from whom guidance shines
Enlightening guidance from his legal rulings
