1. Would that a breeze of your fragrance blows
No yearning towards the anxious sweating one would have leaned

2. Nor would the youth have inclined at dawn towards youth
Nor would his complaints have stirred the gentle one

3. After you all, the meadows have no more joy
Nor does any blossoming garden have grace

4. You are their essence so if you are absent
There remains in them no beauty to behold

5. If not for you, no lightning would have stirred me
Nor would any passion have struck me, flashing

6. Nor would any slender graceful one have bent his neck in separation
A young gazelle, when the stout rope is pulled taut

7. No announcer would have turned my attentions to remembering you
Unless I heard him urging on ahead

8. Nor would a riding company head to your lands
Unless my ardent heart followed close behind

9. Release your prisoner, bound to you, fettered
To the custody of love he is secured

10. His heart has been shackled by love of you
While his body between worlds remains unconstrained

11. Before, if the fires of separation raged in my thoughts
It would tear me apart, utterly separated

12. And I had set my eyes as a guard - so is there
An apparition of you that would appear to me?

13. I loved you as a child, and you perfected
My youth, a love not to be undone

14. Yet now I mix the purest love
While my censurer has greyed and become detached

15. Patience in your judgement befits me
But kindness and clemency are most fitting from you

16. Will there be a return for me, when wishes are astray
Like shadows, and the bouquet is plucked?

17. O land of Nu'man and valley of Mina
If wishes were to be fulfilled

18. And at that place of gathering, would I stop
In sanctuaries with beams of light shining through?

19. Would the Lady of the Veil reveal herself to me
Aromatic wood and my prayers fruitful, burgeoning?

20. The greatest hopes - to gather me in
At the foothills of Sulae, perfectly proportioned

21. For the noble tombs, white-domed, I long
The courtyard of Acceptance, its soil split open

22. Veiled, not by the forehead's prostration
But his brilliance - no barrier contains its piercing light

23. Yearning rends our souls to reach him
With a rending no else can match

24. He attained the treasury of virtue through Mustafa
That perfumed, radiant, blessed side

25. Every rugged valley is scented with piety
For it exudes his sweet fragrance

26. He brought the valued, clear religion
Distinguishing misguidance from guidance

27. It grows and strengthens, while the religion of enemies
Leaders of deviance, by it obliterated

28. Thus is the truth - when it prevails
Over the impossible, the false, it dissolves

29. He folded the seven heavens until he reached
A station no other can attain

30. He attained a station - if not for our love of him
He would have burned from the brilliance

31. And he returned by night, with his caravan
With a sacred gaze, illuminating

32. Oh woe to those who deny him, after
He was the trustee, truthful among them

33. If he did not say "I am the Messenger"
His face itself would speak it and declare it

34. Glory to Him who shaped him with perfect
Meaning - the One who creates all forms

35. His mouth as if an utterance articulate
In the essence from the divers extracting gems

36. Ruby, his lips, and pearl - not moist
Choice ruby, his throat, and speech

37. His forehead, the dawn, and above it
The dark branch, and the cosmos-splitting sky

38. As if his front teeth and palms were molded
From silver, his fingers and elbows too

39. And endowed him with praised character
Clement, forbearing, humble, compassionate

40. He rose above with a brilliance when
He spoke, and in his dignity when silent

41. Against enemies he had such strength
While with those seeking guidance, gently drawn

42. In the loins of Noah he was stored
So he, on the waves, would not drown

43. And for his sake, the loins of Abraham
The flames of fire could not burn

44. And of his miracles was how water
Flowed abundantly from his palm

45. As his palms contained dates - with which
He satiated armies in the trench compressed

46. While the Christian king was amazed
As his date-store fed measures beyond count

47. His horsemen prevailed over a single horseman
So crown and kingdom were removed from him

48. Continuous, after the blasting trumpet makes whom it makes tremble
For him, the Pond, and in his hands

49. The banner of Praise, fluttering
He is the intercessor and savior, when

50. In blazing agony the sinner is bound
O you whose lineage in the lofty pavilions

51. And in the wilderness, is shining radiance
The verdant land knows your traces

52. And knows the brilliant, eastern climes
To enumerate him strains composition

53. In prose or verse, however skilled the writer
I am struck with harm and have none but

54. Your eminence - causes to which I cling
Be for me a refuge in a time in which

55. Destruction's arrows strike from all sides
And ask from the Merciful, when

56. My bones are enclosed in the narrow grave
A mercy to carry me to the Gardens

57. Whose awe-inspiring splendor is of silk brocade
Everlasting in your precincts and your kingdom

58. Seventy thousand surrounding you, gazing
Guiding forever to your tomb - the musk's diffusion

59. Pervades the distance, bursting forth
