1. The quarters of Asma when they are intimacy, ever
Bare of verses, turns back no question,

2. The prowess of fate did not sport with its youth
A gird in it, and the sides the north and south,

3. So it waned and faded but not three
Like partridges in thickets made lawful,

4. Traveler, stop by it, in my heart indeed
Is one who loved longing and misfortune.

5. Betrayal indeed not to stop at its ruins
Or to greet vestiges.

6. And loyalty is to remain in it and spend
Its short and long days.

7. How much vain joy we gained with it that appeared
A sun and longed for a gazelle.

8. It bends, smiling, light
From cheeks well-watered and flooding.

9. Your love, O Usayma is sincere though
You did not reciprocate passion.

10. It settled in my inner self, rather my heart
Increased for you in desire when you cut the ropes

11. And prevented union except in apparitions
And we feared you would even prevent apparitions.

12. I used to gulp the bitterness of patience with difficulty
Until you quenched me from your bitterness.

13. Sighs welled up in my chest
That tasked me with going and coming.

14. If what he suffered from his love of her struck
Mountains, it would fell mountains.

15. And travel relieved the stranger of my worry
When they marched to travel the cameleers

16. Brought the dromedaries of beauty so they appeared
And covered the surfaces of beauty with beauty.

17. So it is as if beauty and dromedaries passing
The sands are covered by them.

18. Ships the guide heads with them to the harbor
And the camels stride with them steadily

19. Or the tall palms lofty platforms
Of sweet water when they were watered.

20. Every high concern is powerless over them
From freeing exemplars an exalted model.

21. It is the right of tears to be copious
And the child of the cradle to have white hair.

22. The way of the Prophet has become neglected
Rope of passion is pulled by it.

23. The company of guides to God and loud
Remembrance of God became misguidance.

24. The friends to scholars became prisoners
In the dungeons in lowly stations.

25. And the perspicacious sheikhs, the highest stages
Of spiritual ascent are vilified by them.

26. They insult them while they are in the mosque
At night vigils obediently.

27. And they condemn the best of them for gifts
And say they hoard money.

28. They are ignorant the Elect accepted gifts
With his right and left hands.

29. Does the Prophet love money when he renounced
To asceticism mountains of detachment?

30. Everything they witnessed while ignorant of it
They denied and blamed the ignorant.

31. They deny divine openings and ecstasy
While the witnesses are composed.

32. They thought God would not give what
He did not give them so they suffered loss.

33. They gathered backbiting, arrogance and ignorance
Befriended these three traits.

34. They appointed the masses which some of those
They seduced with seclusion seduced with seclusion.

35. Do not blame them, denial maintains
In its prohibitors an intransigent disease.

36. They are incapable of accepting miracles of
Prophets by their believing sorcerers.

37. They did not know the most worshipping of God among them
Is one God exalts if He takes.

38. O people, denial is difficult
So obey God the Exalted in it.

39. None denies but the accomplished who unlocked
Secrets of sciences leaving no ambiguity.

40. He mastered seventy arts
Leaving in their difficulty no complexity.

41. So one whose religion inclined or one who
In religion is upright has not deviated.

42. The upright one is innocent, the right of reality
To state clearly is deserving to be stated.

43. And among the deniers are those who said this
Squandered religion by what was stated in it.

44. The place of condemnation, if it is said this
Was worthy of it, and difficult is attainment.

45. Is to see the action in prohibition explicitly
Finding no interpretation allowing lawfulness in it

46. Or to see the statement opposing the remembrance or opposing
Of the Trustworthy Prophet an utterance

47. Finding no understanding though the denouncers pondered principles
But the ostriches did not look with scrutiny.

48. The call of a scholar making the lawful prohibited
And the call of an ignorant making prohibited lawful.

49. O people, one who said about a sheikh a statement
Not intending reverence

50. Has provoked war against us for we are charges of the sheikh
We disavow having dependents.

51. One who came arguing with us about him we stuffed
A boulder leaving in him no dispute.

52. And when one came pure of heart asking
We answered the question truthfully.

53. Avoid talk about him, do not attract what
You cannot repel when it turns intense.

54. Who says about him I spoke and aimed
At him from vilification arrows.

55. And when he refuses to refrain from it
I refuse to refrain from fighting him.

56. He is Sheikh Ahmed al-Mutahhari
Following the Messenger vigilantly.

57. May God bless what he gained from grace
And ennobled and prolonged his survival,

58. Bestowed on him the delight of the eye that satisfies him
In a blessed state and wealth.

59. And bestowed approval and blessed the one who gained
Perfection from the Perfecter of men.
