1. Jawiriyah reproached me with abandonment,
Not from my own people, but from others.

2. She reproached and blamed my slowness, so I said to her,
"I was slow, but do not blame me."

3. After you, I lived alongside those whose company
Gladdens me at all times and in all states.

4. The people of virtues, the family of our Master the Shaykh,
The gate of chivalry, glory and religion.

5. Bearers of all the tribulations of fate when they strike,
Racers to the farthest goals in arenas.

6. Spenders of their wealth to protect their honor,
Travelers on the path lit by the torch of mankind.

7. Revivers of sciences whose marks had vanished,
Recording them in writing and codification.

8. It suffices me, from making the pilgrimage, that I am
In their fortress of might, support and safety.

9. When I look upon the lights of their faces,
My cheeks flush and pillars rise up for me.

10. And if I shake the gardens of praising them,
Fruits rain down from the orchards.

11. So pick them for me without coyness or boredom,
Gently, kindly and smoothly.

12. And I have chosen from them the sun of their morning,
'Abdullah, famed of name in China,

13. The successor of the Shaykh in knowledge and deed,
And in caring for the needs of the poor,

14. And in defending the precious ones, striking
With proofs and arguments, guest or resident.

15. If you ask me to return to the calls
Of others than them, or between them and me,

16. If you had lived alongside them you would not blame me.
So live alongside them, and blame me or reproach me!
