1. In love, I am the master of miracles
I came to lovers with signs

2. The passionate were illiterate before me
Until they learned my words

3. Today I am truly the man of the age
And lovers are my followers and invokers

4. My drums were beaten among them and marched
My banners aflutter over them

5. The magic of my words seduced listeners
And my breathings crept into their minds

6. Where are the passionate? Let me recite to them
Lasting sincerities of passion, righteous

7. Love is sealed by my words with musk
Much good comes in endings

8. So upon lovers, my greetings
Came like greetings in prayers

9. My passion creed is the creed of truth
And I rose in it with clear proofs

10. So I have many praiseworthy traits
And many noble qualities

11. I only accept loyalty to the beloved
Even if my loyalty has shortcomings

12. And thousands, if I leave misery
Longing for him brings regrets

13. Chaste in speech, traits and manners
Modest in conscience and glances

14. And with silence and dignity, I
Have good manners, pure in privacy

15. My heart loves the graceful branch
And loves the doe-eyed gazelle

16. And my beloved whom I don't name
By what settled of my habits

17. And they say a lover, and it's a description
Among my traits that shape my being

18. I have an intention, and God knows it
He knows intentions inside me

19. Oh my beloved, whoever you are
That God has separated us with distances

20. One day your eyes will see me
That day has double blessings

21. You're my soul, you have taken my soul
And my life, you have stolen my life

22. I'm dying of longing, so give me union
I'll tell people the taste of death

23. And as you know, no joy remains
Before passing, after passing is late

24. So God protect Egypt's promise, and long live
What has passed for me of Egypt's times

25. How excellent are the Nile and ships on it
Carrying us up and down

26. Give me more talk of the Nile
And spare me talk of the Tigris and Euphrates

27. And nights on Gezira Island and Giza
Of what I craved anew of pleasures

28. Between a garden describing lush plains
And weather describing dune bellies

29. Where the gulf runs like a winding serpent
Between gardens and orchards

30. And a boon companion as we love, witty
Bestowing all we love

31. Everything I wanted is in it
Beautiful essence, perfect tools

32. Oh my past time, my time
You have from me repeated sighs
