1. My companion, from Qays ibn Al-Aylān a greeting
My steed turns toward its winding paths

2. By your life, for I find rest in the scent of the breeze from its knots
The scent of the ostriches has become fragrant, as if

3. The greetings of Sulaymā had traveled in its breaths
And Tīmā’ is a dwelling for the heartsick heart

4. So it leaned to greet its stairways
And if you both find bliss from the ladder of patience, his heart

5. Becomes a groom in the abode of separation from its threshing floors
Its wilderness became inhabited by a friendly inhabitant

6. I harvested the tender love from its fruits
And its meadow hosted a melodious meadow

7. Prideful in its embroidered clothes from its needles
There, threads in the roots of dignity

8. Resembling the slender line some of its plants
Feelings of infatuation and the Ka’bah of charm

9. My heart from its veils and supplications
So how it shook my hand in its bedouins, the hand of wishes

10. And how the recognized passion blew from its known places
I promised them idols when I promised her

11. The love of a slave of her pride and a slave of her temples
I came with my longings to her and was virtuous

12. In its laws of love, truly pious
Love like the courage of Ibn Ma’n and a lover

13. Like his generosity, and the land in its crises
And how many a group has seen the view of the dissenters

14. So I was Ali in the wars of its evils
With the resolve of a father whose radiance does not fade

15. And can the cosmos possess power over its motions?
He who makes the excited one weak and his teeth

16. Passion so he does not exceed the hearts in its burials
And how often Egypt courted me in the Nile of its Nile

17. And Baghdad intended for us its Euphrates
And I was not pleased by any land but the place of my upbringing

18. Even if I were a sun in the sky of its heights
And I have hope that if luck makes its attainment successful

19. The secret of the soul will be understood in its groups
And the sweetest wishes are what is attained in the bloom of youth

20. And can things be good after their loss?
