1. She has a guard on the day of meeting, her guard
Why then is she stingy with what does not harm her

2. She made it so her patient would not be cured
And her way is that her prisoner not be freed

3. I tended the stars of night for her sake
For on her neck are strings of them that she strings

4. And it was said that an apparition in sleep is a visitor
Where then can my eyes borrow some sleep from

5. And here I am like an apparition intoxicated in her
Perhaps if she sleeps at night I will visit her

6. I resent the moist branch for her sake
For the branch was said to be her peer

7. Without blaming her, the palaces of the land fell short
Of reaching her and fell short of her

8. She kindled no fire with wood by night
Rather she stirs it between ribs

9. Nor did she relate from people of wilderness attributes
Other than that she resembles the recoiling of a gazelle

10. I go so her dogs do not howl at me
And I come early so her camel there does not bray

11. If Layla got the soil of her ruins
Her pearls and fragrance would emerge from it

12. The creditor of longing took from me forcefully
Frightened, with only a little left

13. And that which the hand of blaming left in me
Is ransom for the helper the day he came victorious

14. A prince - when you see the shine of his face
Tell the nights to hide their full moons

15. And if you obtain kissing his palm one day
You see the sea of generosity flowing copiously

16. And how many people claim nobleness
While its secret is hers without them and her couch

17. You came and the countries were as though
Their conscience whispered to you in delight

18. When you came, its meadow pulled its skirt
And its stream gushed from it

19. When you came, its light smiled from it
And its light beamed from it the day you arrived

20. Even your rain clouds came
Bringing you from it blessings and its rain

21. And by the Supreme, many a prayer folds up the horizons for you
When its darkness mixes with some of its light

22. You treaded countries no horse hoof treaded
Except you, and no frightened horse treaded its perils

23. Its eagles fold the wings of the air therein
And even if its wild cats strayed they would not find their way

24. You returned the lands of non-Arabs with brave Arab tribes
Whose eagles therein are hawks above vultures

25. So you finished its blackness with its lions
That annihilate the enemies before the escape, with their roar

26. If a beloved one dies in it from your horses
Its beasts and eagles therein lived

27. An event occurred, its tale circulated among people
Of what its stallions did to the enemy

28. So through it one who differs in religion becomes afraid
And its disbelief tightened around the disbelievers

29. And the Hadhrami gave it his back fleeing
With a soul fearing what its consequence with you would be

30. He went cutting across the horizon looking
Terrified by its flags and birds

31. And he refused what he fancied until his harem
That a jealous one would not accept

32. So if he went saving himself with some force
Another hell will contain him and its flame

33. And it was no enemy you sought to fight
But the roads of pilgrims you protected

34. And one whom the resolute deceased followed - prevailing
Annihilating the enemies with might and ruining them

35. When the glory of religion desires something
That which is hardest for it to attain becomes easy

36. A brother of unwavering strength that does not blink
Deceiving nor made weak by its babble

37. Through dread of him, his country became safe
Its enemies barred and its breaches closed

38. And its wealthy came to praise him
And its poor came in the evening to pray for him

39. Through you, the branch of my hopes fruitfully wavered
And the world smiled at me and its joy pleased me

40. And of God’s blessings no grace came to me
Even multiplied except through you its ambassador

41. And he who began grace and was generous
Hopefully through its first his last is better

42. And even if your hands were plenty
Upon me, I am still their servant and thankful

43. My patron - rhymes met me like gifts
Prolonged from it was your absence and its return difficult

44. Being away from you made them fall apart and scatter
And the morning found me separating from its pieces

45. To this day it uncovered no page to another
There it is, rolled up, its veils upon it

46. If mentioned among the living, it loses hope
So May its intimate and Jarir despair of its union

47. Then take it however you wish the sublime to buy
Its pearls and silk presented to you

48. When I dotted a page for your memory
Its lines nearly become white from it

49. And people have many poems said
But my poetry - in the prince is its prince
