1. The passion and afflictions did not subside,
As if it were a tattoo that shone brightly or stood out

2. I stood reciting its melody and asked it
About my loved ones, what did they do on the day we parted

3. A quarter of it lingered within along with its isolation
From the isolation of mankind in it and the replacements changed

4. How long did it remain under the rule of passion, burdened
I perform obligations of fervor and move on

5. My friend, do you see the radiance of the valley's mixture when
Its bare ruggedness is healed by the light of beauty

6. And in the valleys the gazes are weary with somberness
That nearly makes the eyelids droop if they were to rise

7. No glance flashed through her face
Except it was stained by shyness and bashfulness

8. Her sweet lipped smile's saliva heals
What her glances stirred in hearts, did the fleeting eyes

9. He who sipped the mingling of saliva from her mouth does not know
Whether her saliva or honey is sweeter

10. People have never from joining with her a day my hopes were realized
Except it was renewed by her coquettishness

11. Never has a term from her passed in what she promised
Except another came after it of her pledges

12. And sometimes the farewells make her teary eyes flow
On the day of departure while the caravan gets ready to leave

13. So I stood kissing her lovingly, almost
Making the fires of passion between us blaze and fervor ignite

14. And from the heat of my fervor in her freshness
It almost melted her cheeks and the kisses

15. Oh you who blame me for passion, be gentle with a grieved one
And turn your blame away, I am preoccupied with you

16. In the basin of those who love are Qais and Urwa
And how many languished and how many drew

17. I am the sick one, but I am a man who
Was tempted by it and in his heart sickness was palatable

18. The pursuits of a passionate lover in his love are endless
He has no creeds or religions in it

19. On the page of my heart are lines written
Of passion no time will erase the composition

20. I have never asked people's permission
In what I hope for, except they were stingy

21. They do not understand it, so I rose above a judgment
About poetry and people are enemies of what they do not know

22. Oh self, do not envy them their ease, they are
A people who when they owned it lost glory

23. The shining of sun was not beautiful to bleary eyes
And the fragrance of roses was not endearing to a wound

24. It is no wonder I lived among them
Alone and no paths to me were wide enough for them

25. If my hopes in the lowly failed, never
With the victorious did my hopes fail

26. How much position and gift I got from him
And how much he forgave my mistakes

27. Every day for him in the house of its forelock
And in the armies of enemies events majestic

28. You meet him advancing in adorned attire
While the attire adorned and the years are advancing

29. As if he were the sun rising spreading
Its light in triumph and he like Saturn

30. As if he were the sun ascending the orbits
As if he were the full moon adorned with lights

31. Virtues and generosity that cannot be matched
By the world gathered, sought by a man

32. Oh you who pour heavy rain of generosity
To him yielded and humbled the brave knight

33. And who if he plunged into the sea of war submerged
To him yielded and humbled the brave knight

34. Oh you who pour heavy rain of generosity
Without him in saving the pouring rain

35. How many decisive battles you have
Without equal among people and camels

36. You are the eloquent among people of knowledge and in
The summits of glory, you are the guide of guides

37. And here it is—of the masterpieces of poetry composed
Precious, from it flowed panegyric and lyricism
