1. The specter sailed from Lubna so longing was aroused, and here
The one who waters passion departed, enslaved to passion.

2. So he spent the night with a pounding heart and with downcast eyes
Brimming over, competing with the weeping of their tears.

3. And an eyelid as though the eyeliner in the embrace of his eye
Excites the specter of sleep if it knocks on the eyelid.

4. So the palms of ardour spent the night tossing his concerns
When a tear out of disdain accomplishes its role, it drips.

5. In the morning he was disheveled and neglected after tiring of the specter
And after imagination and sleepiness subsided.

6. With the intoxication of drowsiness in the eye and sleepiness
Through which murkiness refrains from coming to its nestlings.

7. When the lute player repeats a melody with his instrument
Its echoes respond to him with that melody.

8. So it amazes me that she was guided to our mounts
When the stupid night had clothed the darkness thickly around us.

9. And I knew her that if the separation crossed her path
Loneliness would detain her from the house of her neighbor.

10. She blamed me so she undid the prose of my patience and affirmed
The system of longing for Lubna and provoked sorrow.

11. So she spent the night showing me the sun and a ceaseless night
And an endless night whose covers enveloped us.

12. And she brought a smooth charmer who prepared with his sorcery
Superstitions for people's minds that entrap them.

13. And supple, delicate poem, so smooth to the touch
That every passage in it complains of a passage.

14. And a string of pure pearls and smooth
Flowing water that once embraced the basin with bliss.

15. And an agile, tender branch, soft to the touch, bending
So that every bough in it leaned towards a bough.

16. When its twigs bent with the greenish whiteness
I said to her, "Do not leave me prone,

17. A pillar, my heart filled with passion, confused, O Lubna!"
She blamed me so the riders turned away from the strike of destiny

18. And when she turned away, she destroyed its pillar of patience.
So she said to me, "Make your destination favorable

19. Where you find prosperity, justice, and safety."
I said, "His lips are blocked from our blood

20. And I fear him - he did not stop blaming whenever we came."
So she said, "You are ignorant in this matter, may you be spared, he

21. Is frightened of the feathers of snakes, so quench their thirst."
And we pity the absence of their mothers

22. For he is the most just, kind, and merciful leader.
We will go with him in every land we desire

23. And we will return from it safe when we want.
And he was a glorious, ascending leader

24. Ascending the glory - hard to ascend, elevating us.
He ascended to the highest peaks by the nobility of his determination

25. And suffering through reaching them on easy and rugged roads.
So he did not stop answering every faint call

26. To it until he attained it and quenched the thirst.
As though the heated rumors that destiny brewed

27. To glory were words, yet it was their meaning.
A desperate, staunch, determined Hatim

28. So he did not fear preceding in the heights or cheating.
O What is the trusted, glorious sword an Indian sword

29. And it has no scabbard, and you were a scabbard for it.
Your generosity has spent everything you earned

30. But it kept immortal praises that do not perish.
Praises that made tongues tired counting some of them

31. And no wonder if your praises made tongues tired.
For you were a magnet for every pleasure

32. And a fortress against everything that calls for murkiness.
And you were Galen for every malady

33. That the healers could adorn with a remedy.
And our refuge during adversities if they were confused

34. And our safe haven during fears if we were afraid.
So many a man whose worries you relieved for him

35. And whom you released after deserving torture.
And many a naked person whose thirst clouds you quenched

36. So you clothed him in silk, headbands, and cotton.
And how much prosperity your good fortune gave in thousands

37. And how many sacrifices you made in bodies!
From it good fortune's prosperity was derived for your good fortune

38. And your ease from it was ease for you like the right hand.
