1. For whom are the houses recognized on the scroll
Desolate, as if their forms are letters

2. They leaned on the ruins for a while
And went on the path of safety or stood still

3. They described the measures of passion and adapted
What suits the new passion

4. My heart was torn by the crying of a tender
And delicate dove in distress, screaming and clamoring

5. For Sa’dy’s beauty, that smooth
Lips, whose breach of oath is feared, does not swear

6. I am true to the creed of passion
I cannot change then or lag behind

7. And I was charged with it, no wonder for he who
Has become enchanted with it forever

8. My body and her delicate waist in her chemise
Did not know which of us is leaner

9. I have become powerless since love hurt me
And ecstasy made me unable to bear the shirt and weakened me

10. Alluring, her glances convey to hearts
What no sharp sword can convey

11. The roses from her do not wither
Nor do the apples from her get picked

12. And if I took a sip from her saliva
I'd know her saliva is sweet wine

13. Oh, loving her on the day of farewell and how good
That farewell was and that stand

14. When she put her cheek on my cheek
And her bending figure approached me

15. From where we did not do well there with crying
Speaking, and our tears pouring and scattering

16. And a docile, deep-rooted resolve intermingled with her determination
Firmly and arrogantly between the traveling women

17. It removes sorrows when serious as if
There is foam of sorrows in her worries

18. I tasked her with crossing the deserts, and I kept
Urging her to travel night and day

19. Until I ended with her in Samad, and felt
Safe there, from all her fears

20. A country most honorable in status because of its king
And the most glorious land of countries and most noble

21. So it is as if Egypt is Yusuf’s city
And it is as if Yusuf is its elder

22. A king who is the master of favors and he
Surely spends wherever he wants and compensates

23. Higher and more just in kingship than
Khosrow and Caesar wherever they were and more fair

24. His harshness mixed in its management
A nature more delicious than the breeze and kinder

25. Firm, he remains above his enemies
With might that demolishes strongholds and blows them up

26. In his peace is prosperous calm
His morals, and against the enemy is fury

27. How many times did his raids shake the strongholds
Of his enemies, so it became a barren plain

28. O you who has the high honor and who has
The growth of eternal glory and elevation

29. Listen to one who is above others in the world
Aloof, detached, and righteous

30. His hopes grow and fatten, and disasters
From him stagger in travel and get disturbed

31. He undertakes hardships and did not look
At what the criticizer and slanderer said

32. Receiving the winds in his face
So he is disheveled and unkempt for that

33. And that founder adorned you with poetry
Placing some here and some there
