1. The hardships of longing for you shone in my eyes, lest
They weep when they see any shadow of color.

2. I strengthened its covenants after me, so I clothed it
With worn-out clothes after its strength, the powerful ones.

3. It has become accustomed to the children of wild animals, so it has no
Comfort with them except for wounds and injuries.

4. It dragged its tail to the Romans and its traces faded
Except for the remnants of its ruins and cracks.

5. The houses have perished, O you who blame, and the clouds have folded, and
The ports and inlets have tempted it, so it yielded to them.

6. In it we had a covenant with the virgins, a gentle one
Who tells traditions correctly and blinks slowly.

7. My heart has not returned at the time of remembering it
Except that the tears of my eyes roll down abundantly.

8. My weakness blamed me about it, so I said to them
O blamers, stop blaming and dispraise!

9. Do not rub salt in the wounds of a lover with passion,
For longing is not like the one who meets the beloved effortlessly.

10. Is there a way to meet the beloved? No,
After long separation, he will not come to meet.

11. If I become stern Asma in the morning
Pregnant, wearing my dress of old age and maturity.

12. I will seek to meet the one who wants to meet me
And I do not see a meeting one with hatred and paucity.

13. If I am gentle with those who are gentle with me
It will be easy whatever I fear, and the mountain becomes smooth.

14. If I am helped, I help the one seeking help, and if
Disasters afflicted, I make the intense calm down.

15. I did not get accustomed to those who hate, and it is my nature
To avoid whims, and in hard times I am the son of glory.

16. Tell the arrogant when you come to him
You made a mistake in mind and did not follow excellence.

17. You wronged the one whose inner self
Was piety of God and wronging the righteous without cause.

18. You wronged the most devout, fearing not his reactions
Who has worn the garment of generosity.

19. A pious old man, of confident honor
Who pardons when he sees the generous one being stingy.

20. He hosts delegations and gives the seekers
And if he feeds, his callers call none but the greedy.

21.
His patience is not increased by the ignorant, nor

22. Does he neglect goodness for those accustomed to laziness.
His ambition has guided him to the meadows of glory

23. Until sometimes he competes in the heights, stepping firmly.
And if the disasters of time afflicted him

24. He does not show excessive panic or haste.
It does not harm him among the people of insight that

25. He who has always been drunk insults him.
A lowlife clothed in the garb of frivolity, who

26. Had his dignity stripped by the defects of arrogance and vanity.
He sent us a poem from him in which he revealed

27. Flaws in meter that betrayed his lack of skill.
I will humiliate him in the club and dress him

28. Among the open spaces with his evil clothes.
And blond ones, I do not take them

29. To account for his sin of disobeying God and His messengers.
He had been in the lowliest situations since childhood

30. Indulging himself, and he still remains in degradation.
You see him an outcast among the people for his misfortune

31. Just as one throws sticks into the toilet.
He accustomed himself to the morals of villains, so he has no

32. Share of chivalry that he sees.
He did not defile our honor or fabricate against us

33. Or make up lies against us, the liar did not invent.
His vilification and praise are equal from him, so how many

34. Did the immoral one vilify of chaste and glorious ones!
He vilified the youth and vilified the old, all of them

35. Even his father, and he vilified the easy and the difficult.
And let the manner of his death be a warning,

36. Carried in a bier, so remember the example.
He claimed knowledge as ancestral inheritance, so I said to him

37. The wise and the noble do not act this way in ignorance.
You have introduced innovations into the eloquent language that

38. Were never known, and the evil of an ignorant language.
You have made blindness arise when you were ignorant, and whoever

39. Is blind in insight inclines toward slipping.
One who has changed the fundamentals through ignorance does not claim

40. The inheritance of attaining knowledge when he is ignorant.
Knowledge is not claimed without action,

41. It is disgraceful for its claimant to neglect it.
Knowledge is what gains piety, so it is the light of guidance,

42. The knowledge of the jurist to know hearts clearly.
Can the immoral one claim knowledge while his nature

43. Is disobedience of origin and defiance of God the Most High?
He does not obey in the separation of origin what

44. Is in the Qur’an in Surat Al-Isra has been revealed.
Tell the immoral one when he criticizes us

45. Out of ignorance - we never wished for sheep and camels!
Is it absentmindedness from you or lapse that you criticize us

46. For the deed of a man ignorant of what he did?
This is not the words of one who has insulted his father

47. And wasted his dutifulness so that he gained shamelessness!
Such vices are not for the villainous nor

48. Is it the greed of the noble, nor that the miser be stingy.
I have protected it from the harm of the people, driving it away,
