1. I write the line of connection, dictate to me the dots
May my Master in love make the line steadfast

2. So the copy of my cheek today was met with illness
Did you not see in it the tears made clear the erasure

3. On the soul I made a condition in love, my innermost being
So it did not refuse in the law of passion that condition

4. So my slumber and sleep when my loved ones appeared
So this one came near me and that one had departed

5. So if that was their pleasure in passion, their approval
Then I see my pride without them as displeasure

6. For wherever they settled, my bonds are upon them
And I was not able to release or bind near them

7. I scattered my tears upon the slope of the rocks
Carnelians, and from them I stringed for them a necklace

8. I forgot in them the tranquility of the shy, fleet gazelles
And the sand dunes of Nu'man and its middle parts

9. And if the falling of passion were not a dwelling for them
I would not have longed for Hay al-Amariyyah and its plains

10. In remembering them I wander confused
As if I were drunk and never tasted Ispand

11. With them the necklace of unity was strung orderly and I did not
Find in the Messenger of God a day for them to be abandoned

12. He is the ending, the Eraser, erasing unbelief is His sword
Thus the pen of idolatry revolted and by it was severed

13. Thus the letters of the script spoke to him
And he did not know satire or poetry

14. And from his two fingers the water overflowed and flowed
To the right, so he watered the army and the smooth plain

15. To the right, by it his right hand was not known to withhold
So I ransom the appearance of generosity and open-handedness

16. Whoever compares the favor of attaining his generosity
Then he has exceeded the limit in analogy and was mistaken

17. He is the most judicious of creation and their most generous hand
And greatest in asceticism and most abundant in giving

18. And his companions are the honorable group, foremost in piety
So honor the companionship through them and honor the group through them

19. Dark complexioned you see in them every day a battalion
White in form and brown in skin

20. For them glory was erected and nobility in the high places
And the flowers were trampled gently by their sandals

21. And in the cradle I suckled praise of him with my hands
And intended before depositing the cotton wool

22. And I have not ceased with my heart busy in his praise
Hoping to see for me through his intercession a portion

23. My longing openly declares in remembering him
Perhaps the hand of apology will comb it with a comb

24. And write in the market of slaves as a delicate slave girl
And dress it in the garment of acceptance a gown

25. And live your passion after it twisted
And no longer count a bracelet mentioned or earrings

26. So O master of the two worlds, you are my means
When the course is too narrow, then expand it for me as a portion

27. For my life is lost and the days of youth are ended
And I was not admonished in my ignorance by my defects

28. But in you I hope for grace and generosity
When the deeds of the people of corruption are corrected

29. Upon you is the peace of God as long as dusk scattered
From the clouds and its downpours poured forth
