1. To the son of the mother, the Imam of nomads and settlers
The generous, righteous, pure from murkiness

2. The pearl of the age, above the throat its necklace
A human whose homeland is the refuge of the elite

3. The lantern of the religion of guidance, protector of its truth
Diver of its seas,usamah of its remembrance

4. Succor of the distressed, shelter of the shuddering from cold
Refuge of the troubled, fortress of burdens

5. Provision of travelers, reliever of adversities, rain
Of the supplicating when they need the rain

6. Reviver of justice after death, its challenger
In the guise of a chaste maiden, alluring and wonderful

7. Rising to glory, proceeding and beginning early
To God belongs praise from a proceder and beginner

8. Of goodly greeting, its redolence from his traits
And from extolling him the crescent moon is eclipsed

9. And what makes it obligatory, wherever you are distant
My passion's watering place, my heart and magic are smitten

10. I have become accustomed by your absence to a groan igniting
The fires of its passions in the intestines by remembrance

11. If one impassioned were to refuse his passion, then I
Of your love, long without refusing, am impassioned

12. I yearn to meet you, and if you come near I startle as
The intoxicated starts at the dizzy swoon
