1. Obedient, not stubborn
Eager for pleasures

2. Homs called me from Ufran
So I answered the passion of Homs

3. I went in person to the door of leadership
To the well-proportioned, distinguished man

4. How many gazelles of humankind
Did his glances gather whenever he glanced

5. Gazelles, whenever he noticed them
He fully noticed a glance

6. So there was a sun on a branch
And a branch on a carpet

7. When they picked sweet petals
Of musk piece by piece

8. Roses were made lawful for smelling
And rosewater for drinking

9. Leave the cage, for in freedom
Is what will suffice you instead of a cage

10. A breeze that steals the scent
Its cooing stole a thief

11. By a garden dressed by blossoms
In soft patterned fabric

12. As if strung pearls that
Appeal to minds by stringing

13. On it is the redness of the bite mark
And the greenness of the coin

14. And rivers flowing gently
Between outpouring and damming up

15. And birds, whenever they sang
We yearned for dancing

16. So get up, we will pluck them
Fluttering, with the yellow dress

17. Its rise was to the eye
Like the rise of a coin

18. She is the virgin, who if
She disobeyed, would not disobey

19. You see her remnants in the
Hems of the robe like a panel

20. With my hand a license
Stolen by the glances or granted

21. It has messengers from nobles
Who advise you to advise

22. Whenever you talk about me
With patience, oh Abu Hafs

23. So do not bother with supporting me
Since my support is to the devoted

24. And whoever I brought near in Homs
And whoever I distanced in Aleppo

25. I have sold the attachment
Of precious passion for cheap

26. If you gaze at the landmarks
Of the Sanctuary of Hauran, then desire

27. Say, my mother bought
Homs, if you want, or Khusay

28. So whoever likes let him be
Impressed with beauty there

29. I will fold the text like a protected
Sanctuary of the best land

30. As mud bricks are folded
With gypsum and plaster

31. May the sincerity of resolve take
My luck from the hand of greed

32. And he of little worth is not
One who hoards the paltry sum

33. And none like me is disgusted
By living off scraps

34. And the rope of love from the rope
Of Sahl's son is unsevered

35. Containing glory is Ali, so
Listen to my words or disobey

36. A man like the sea, nothing
Diminishes him of defects

37. He has attained such heights
The counter cannot count his number

38. So whoever commends Ali
Commends the one who is commended

39. Enough missteps have stumbled me
To the utmost stumbling point

40. For through him I was supported
With an unfailing wing

41. And I took in exchange
Holding onto life instead of scraps

42. Oh hands, whenever you grasp
You increase in grasping

43. If horses are reined back from hearing
Reports from every reined-back one
