1. Hattam, do not blame in ignorance,
Gently, for blame is blame.

2. My eyes that lament sleeplessness
And my grieving, suffering heart.

3. Verily, in love is bliss
For lovers, that is delight.

4. What is love but a poor heart
Weeping, or a frail body?

5. And nightingales between my ribs
That neither sleep nor make sleep.

6. O you whom I conceal my love,
Yet God knows of me and him.

7. What business have I, what business have my critics,
Does one of reason blame me?

8. O would that he return to me
That bygone time.

9. And the soft life with passion
If only a soft life would last.

10. And with tranquility when I attained
The company of loved ones I desire.

11. Oh, happy were those meadows
And happy were those dwellings.

12. O you who left in my mind
Sparks that melt hell itself.

13. The waiting has been long but
No breeze came true to your promise.

14. Delay of the wealthy is offensive,
Far from you, a vile trait.

15. Does one whose loved ones wrong him
Fear prolonging the wait?

16. By my father and by that place
And he who lies in its dust.

17. Oh would that I know, will I
To those lands have a return?

18. And when will I gain from
Kissing its earth what I wish?

19. And when will I see myself serving
By the side of its dust I stand?

20. Greetings O grave in the meadow
From the living, pouring rain.

21. O grave in you is the Chosen One
The Master, the Noble, the Generous.

22. In you is the Trustee, the Prophet's brother
The Selected, the Great News.

23. In you is salvation from evil
In you is the Straight Path.

24. In you is the helper, the sympathizer
The comforter, the intimate.

25. In you is valor, faithfulness
Knowledge, upright religion.

26. In you are nobility and prestige
Glory and true honor.

27. In you is the Imamate and leadership
And prestige that knows no peer.

28. In you is he who cures with the dust
Of his sandals the ailing eye.

29. In you is he whom, had justice been done,
The stars would have lamented his death.

30. In you is he who the beasts of prey
Feared his might.

31. In you is he at whose terrible stance
Resolute heros shake in fear.

32. In you is the adversary against the Almighty
When adversaries gather.

33. For those who love him is lasting home
And for those who oppose, hellfire.

34. Who else but he shall share that
And this in the hereafter?

35. Evildoers denied him
What the All-Knowing granted him.

36. Those virtues were not heeded
Nor that ancient precedence.

37. Take them, Commander of the Faithful,
As pearls are threaded.

38. Like a garden in first bloom
Stirred by the breeze.

39. A maiden whom the people of Hijaz nor Tamim
Had taken her virginity.

40. From a loyal one whose doubts never
Seized him nor misgivings.

41. Forgive, for every speaker
With your rights cannot contend.

42. Who can fully meet your great rights?
Indeed, it is a supreme truth.

43. So excuse and accept his plea
For the noble accept excuse.

44. And intercede for him, as neither
Friend nor mate can benefit him.

45. May he gain by your pleasure
What he hopes from the Lord of Men.
