1. A beloved who has not tasted the bitterness of separation,
While my heart is afflicted with illness and pain.

2. How can my heart heal from such wounds,
When the glances of her eyes are swords that pierce deeply?

3. I'm amazed at her eyelids, though frail,
How can they gain strength when she is sick?

4. How can I forget passion when my existence depends on it?
So I will cast off blame from you and reject it completely.

5. A lover who wanted to shred my heart,
I said leave it be, and replace it with something else.

6. But he refused to sell it, then called out,
"My intention is to take it from you piece by piece!"

7. Since he appeared beautiful like the rising sun, he left
Some lovers fighting with each other.

8. Among them are those who became wounded, and those
Who died, while some were left satisfied.

9. He abandoned me without any fault, but
He is the ruler, whatever he desires, he executes.

10. My heart yearns for the days of union,
Oh shepherd of God, may such days return!

11. I would not be satisfied to be the heavens,
In which he is, and today he left me to become the earth.

12. He showed me my prestige has diminished,
When time turned away from me and abandoned me.

13. Except I was ennobled when he praised me,
And his praise of me became an obligation.

14. The mighty lion of time, the glory of grandeur,
The shining moon of Syria in length and width.

15. The worshipper of the Merciful, the Imam who
Took knowledge in his grasp completely.

16. A pillar of honour, with him the walls of glory,
Have been strengthened, even if there is no support.

17. The generous, the foremost, none can compete with him,
The generosity of steeds race him in running.

18. The one whose capital was good deeds,
So his profits appeared when it prospered.

19. The son of my master and chief Al-Kazbari
Sublime, pure in origin and honour.

20. He gained wisdom, ambition and manners
Created from the essence of grace completely.

21. Does he have any equal capable
Of undoing what his hands have tied firmly?

22. Far be it from Allah! We do not know, but
My Lord's bounty is for whom He wills and is pleased with.

23. As long as the verses praising him are recited,
Eloquent in composition and ample in presentation,

24. And as long as he continues to accept virtue upon them,
Without tiring of bestowing gifts or withholding.

25. His praise did not rise to the heights of glory,
Except through the son of Fathallah, the All-Powerful.

26. And through his praise they appeared cured,
A beloved who had not tasted the bitterness of separation.
