1. Yes, you reminded me when the morning breeze blew in Najd
Of the sweetness of a life more delicious than honey

2. Oh how I wish I knew the state of her mothers
And oh how I wish I knew if she changed after me

3. And oh how I wish I knew if his days would return
And the heart of the young man would rest from the agony of distance

4. May Allah water it alive if she stayed in her lands
You stayed and I swear to God in the paradise of immortality

5. Is it not in it the beautiful maidens as it is in them
And in their mouths the fresh sweet Kauthar

6. And their bodies are branches and the eyes are narcissus
And in their chests are pomegranates and roses on the cheek

7. And their adornments are fruits and their saliva is wine
And their breaths are like perfume and musk and nadd

8. So the houris are none but them if not for their aloofness
And immortality is none but them if not for the heat of the barrier

9. They yearn for estrangement, distance and intention
And there is no inclination but the habit of flexible branches

10. And they hurt my heart with gazelle eyes while they are spears
And they kill with blades while they are of smoothness

11. And they shackled my insides and unleashed my tears
And ignited in my heart the fervor of longing and ecstasy

12. So O heart, what is this humiliation in passion?
And how can you be content with humiliation and toil?

13. And you must spend the evening happily enamored
And spend the morning busy with Layla and in India

14. So do not waste a lifetime fruitlessly
And do not preoccupy the mind with what is of no avail

15. And do not make poetry permissible for lust or place
Precious rhymes in Sulayma and in Du'd

16. And you have before you our Master, so say about him what you wish
In praise, for this is the place of praise and gratitude

17. And enjoy his protection and turn away from others
And do not aspire for a wick from Amr or Zayd

18. The spheres of the earth shone from the light of his justice
And it is no wonder, for he is the Master Mahdi

19. The Imam of Islam in East and West
And an example for the people of knowledge, wisdom and integrity

20. The days prided themselves on him and rejoiced in him
And became manifest with signs of congratulations for him

21. When feet slip on a day of hardship
I see pillars steadfast like mountains

22. And the concern of the people is the foremost of his concerns
And most of the worries of people in the lap of serenity

23. He solves the knots of problems with his determination
And who other than him is chosen to untie and tie?

24. I will busy my mind, as long as I live, with praising him
And if I die, I will praise him in my grave

25. And alas! I cannot count a tenth of a description of him
For his attributes, by God, are too great to count

26. My brothers in his sanctuary say to me
So how many hopes and how many mornings in earnest!

27. O refuge of the needy, O Kaaba of bounty
And O mine of happiness, O spring of influx

28. And from how many afflicted does he relieve hardship
When he says, on a day of calamity, “O crisis, intensify!”

29. I have now completed ten forenoons at Azhar
In which knowledge is at its peak of seriousness

30. But the seekers of sustenance prevent me from it
And it is not proper for opposites to meet

31. And most of my likes turned away from knowledge
And said: “We saw livelihood better than al-Sa'd”

32. And how they called me to them but I answered them:
“Leave me be, for the door of sustenance is not closed”

33. Should I fear the vicissitudes of time in an age of bounty?
And how can I fear injustice in the time of the Mahdi?

34. The days continue to have a necklace he strings them with
And none sees finer adornment than a necklace

35. And here is the bride of thought, but her dowry
Is acceptance, and this is the ultimate question and purpose
