1. When the caravan departs, who will I have?
When the neighbor and home disappear from my eyes.

2. If passionately I follow his traces,
That is no disgrace in love's law.

3. By God, I'm torn yet justice suits me more.
If only it aligned with intention and distance!

4. I hoped the heart would follow me.
Why has it wandered astray?

5. Don't blame me for their indifference.
I've given excuses for my longing.

6. If the group reveals my madness,
I've kept it secret in my heart's darkness.

7. If they spill my blood among them in vain,
Afterwards I won't seek revenge from them.

8. What was my crime that they wasted my hope
And made my tears flow bitterly on the ground?

9. I will complain to love's judge about my injustice,
Hoping he will warn the beloved.

10. If he denies me mercy in his courtyard,
I will burden him in love with neglect and harm.

11. Perhaps I'll find someone there who will give me justice,
And issue the desired judgment.

12. That generous one has encompassed me
With all the heights gathered around him.

13. Boundless are his virtues,
Too immense for hearing and sight.

14. O Kaaba of the earth, O you whose station is sublime,
Displaying knowledge to all horizons.

15. With your resolve they built a lofty rank,
And from its streams flow rivers.

16. They gave you this only to bequeath it
The merit of benevolence and worth.

17. If you judge, what you decree is truth,
You will meet no denial among the living.

18. Far be it from you to deprive a wronged man of his rights,
Or shame the delegations of ease with poverty.

19. You fold up rights and your knowledge of the sciences
Has brought realization to scholars of all eras.

20. Yet your merit therein has appointed for us
The purest knowledge, structurally and in recollection.

21. So the land rejoices. Justice has come to it
And settled in it decisively.
