1. Leave the talk of love to the foolish ones,
And take off your excuse in the passion of the maiden.

2. And be bold in pleasures, and seize the prime of life,
O companion, and ride the steed of desires.

3. And strive for the time of joy, for it may
Pass while you are heedless and sleeping.

4. Give youth its share while it is submissive,
And devote yourself to the radiant white one.

5. From a mature palm, when it blossoms,
Its blossoms conceal the stars in their brightness.

6. And when it hums, it kills, and if it speaks,
The dead will be among the living the next day.

7. And when the slender, delicate branch bends down,
O agony for the tanned climb!

8. She is the shining bright-eyed one, I see none but
The bright-eyed for the shining one.

9. The bright eyes are the source of my affliction,
My demise, my youthfulness and my exhaustion.

10. They are the ones who in love made me fall,
And kindled in my heart burning embers.

11. Loving narrow eyes is forbidden for me,
This is the doctrine of reasonable people.

12. By God, the day I was blessed with being with her,
I walked on air from ecstasy.

13. She kept giving me cups of mixed wine
In a garden of singing.

14. You laughed while clouds above cried,
I was amazed at her laughing while crying.

15. And birds on platforms like festivals,
Fascinated us with their beautiful singing.

16. So all kinds of wishes were fulfilled for me,
And I began to dress in robes of clarity.

17. And I started to sip from the nectar of her mouth,
And got accustomed to her with modesty in my clothes.

18. I held her hand and she leaned on my shoulder,
And I got my share from time.

19. I spent my hours in embraces,
While you were in the highest place of piety.

20. I have not lived in this world, so my youth is for her,
And for my master Abdul Majeed my praise.

21. The perfect devout eminent one,
Unique in nobleness among the virtuous.

22. Of gentleness that revives souls as if it were
The fragrance of the morning breeze from Al-Zawra.

23. Clad in virtue, endowed with it,
Armored with the shields of piety and generosity.

24. Clemency is his quality, so he does not meet
A sinner except with forgiveness and overlooking.

25. Generosity of disposition, his traits and features,
For he does not fear the tyranny of enemies.

26. Knowing that fate has guaranteed itself
To return harm with humiliation and misery.

27. He took forgiveness and chivalry as his way,
Like the succession of favors upon favors.

28. How many lessons he clarified problems,
And how much hidden wisdom did he uncover!

29. How many symbols did he decode, that had
Long perplexed the minds of contemporaries!

30. He mixed his questions as if, when asked,
He had prepared their answers in a vessel.

31. He was never lacking in answers,
And his elucidation left no ambiguity.

32. O unique of scholars! Rather, O most glorious
Of nobles! Rather, O happiest of the happy!

33. Sorry, I did not delay praising you out of forgetfulness,
But praises are for the competent.

34. For who can rightly praise you,
When praise of you is beyond poets?

35. For your eminence is an abundant sea, the tongues
Of eloquent ones cannot reach a drop of it.

36. And to your side, my thought came
Adorned in its ornaments, walking bashfully.

37. Formed for the most perfect perfect one,
You have spent your life in prosperity and success.
