1. Will the time of passed connection return
Or will my youthfulness return to me while I'm sick

2. I do not complain except of passion for it
Is an affliction upon me from the sky, by it I was judged

3. My state in love is not shining
You tried to comfort me while you spur me

4. Lower yourself to me, for blame is not in a confidant
In one who says to every cheek, "Lower yourself"

5. Exposing myself to your advice would have benefited me
If it was possible for exposure to comfort me

6. I exposed my love to comfort, and I'm tired
Concealing the secret from the spyers exposes me

7. I spent the provision of patience from my burden, so is there
One who gives patience or one who lends it?

8. Does he endure severe pain while his heart pounds
To the arrows of an archer aiming at the watcher, withdrawing?

9. My fervor for the embraces of an affectionate lover
To his lover, and he wards off the rejection of the rejector

10. My complaints of a guide who increases the beloved
And my resentment of coldness that persists, hating

11. O excellent is the fresh water and excellent
Is the cleanliness of the pond, rinsing

12. My anxiety for the time of youth, for I
With nothing but regretting it, did not make up for it

13. The promises of the singing girls are broken, and that
If not for the passing of my youth, it would not have passed

14. Youth adorned the clothes, but rather
The freshness of my livelihood went when it passed

15. O beautiful days of youth, and it is as if they are
The days of our Master Imam Al-Mustadhi

16. Of splendid radiance, its light rises
And splendid ascension and bright face

17. Our Lord divided happiness and misery
Among the creation, between his lover and hater

18. He cloaked the shades of justice after diminishing
And built the foundation of justice after crumbling

19. He gave virtue over the caliphs and the creation through piety
And grace, favor, and pleasant manners

20. So he favored, O Commander of the Faithful, with a state
That does not end and happiness that does not pass
