1. Why did you want to abandon me, why?
And arouse with spears people who were asleep

2. Perhaps you, oh cold-hearted one, want
A departure that brings about tearful harmony

3. And leave us without a great man
Whom we can refer to when we seek purpose

4. Do you want to take from us the instrument of knowledge?
I do not mean by it the alphabet

5. So have you found worries in Aleppo
And so desire to avoid its concerns?

6. And the caravans of the sons of Abu Bakr did not depart from us
They attained above what they hoped for from it

7. And they did not blame it one day
So do not take Damascus as a substitute for its people

8. That would anger them more than you or revenge
And if you are indifferent about separation

9. Then this prevents the eye from sleep
And if you depart to gain wealth, that is easy

10. Your wealth here if you hold it for a year
And if you depart seeking to perfect prestige

11. Beware! I fear that completion for you
And if you depart hoping for fame

12. How much fame destroys the bones
And it is enough fame for you, generosity and knowledge

13. You surpassed individuals and groups with it
Stay with family in prosperity and comfort

14. By my order, and take advantage of that
For family has loyalty even if others betrayed you

15. Deceiving your embrace tomorrow
No addition comes to the sustenance of a greedy one

16. Even if he travelled Muhammah and Al-Ikam
Do you think you will gain an unworthy brother

17. When you have wasted your noble brothers?
If you do not accept your family as neighbors

18. Then pitch your tent near their tents
So there comes to you an informant soon

19. And you sniff from your places the perfume
For excess distance from a homeland and family

20. Is mourning before you encounter mourning
So do not listen to the words of so-and-so

21. You are not hearing words from him
And do not act ignorantly with the ignorance of people

22. Even if they addressed you, say hello
For how many envious people cry in secret

23. And show a smile when they meet you
Not all men are brothers giving advice

24. To their companion, even if he prayed and fasted
So do not believe a false saying

25. And do not feel safe with one who took forbidden money
And do not revere an enemy who died of rage

26. At the prominence of our merit, and hoped for defeat
And how can you stand in reverence of one

27. Who aims to serve knowledge by rising?
Our staying is harder on the enemies

28. And greater turmoil in their hearts
Did we imitate Alexander the King?

29. We do not stay long in one land
And if you travel, you travel, but

30. You leave our family like orphans
It is enough for us to lose our brothers at first

31. So do not make our dispersion the ending
