1. Imagination has afflicted us, weakened,
So welcome to it, imagination that pains!

2. It traveled in secret, hiding itself, and the light
Shows that it did not become concealed.

3. May God tend to your ghosts, shepherding
Those pacts and those covenants.

4. It has come complaining to us of estrangement,
And we complain to it of distress and pain.

5. My friend, will you convey greetings
From us to the dwellers of peace?

6. And whoever came to the outstretched standard
My spirit mingles, O that standard!

7. When they alighted with a flag in Hejaz,
We sent greetings to that flag.

8. And we said your valleys have quenched it
When arrows could not find you to quench.

9. And its echo was trained until it lamented -
Your breeze is more fragrant than any scent smelled.

10. And thirsty as the blades of swords -
As if honey drips upon it from hives.

11. With it we folded the beds of the chaste,
Folding the black tents beneath the stoning.

12. I say to my companions when they have wrapped up:
"Daughters of darkness with the knocking of darkness!"

13. While we - the journey almost touches
Our heels with its reins.

14. Remove sleepiness and intend with us
By the Prophet the noblest of creations prayed to!

15. For if the young guide has connected us,
He has connected us, the loyal to covenants.

16. I saw the generous and when I saw
A bit, I saw the prophet of generosity.

17. I smell and he competes, smelling the mountains -
But smell cannot compete with supreme smell.

18. We blame time, and time does not deserve
To be gifted by us with blame.

19. Noble - the noble deeds have crumbled,
Yet he did not stop until he rebuilt the ruined.

20. And he crushed beneath the oppressive tyrant
The hearts of the people in the hearts of terror.

21. He has settled in Aleppo, a just one -
Erasing injustice from its people and injustice.

22. And he protected them from the turns of fate
So they slept while their shepherd did not sleep.

23. When rain was absent, they found its substitute.
So its substitute took the place of rainwater.

24. Abu Salih, you are the beauty of time
And the beauty of the cloak with the beauty of the flag.

25. When a man composes praise upon you,
We find you nobler than what is composed.

26. We have been safe with your nearness diverting fate,
So we are the doves and you are the sanctuary.

27. It is as if al-Muʿizz is a Kaaba for us
And his peace is the corner and station.

28. We congratulate when the righteous Salih is well,
And that congratulation is for all nations.

29. So strange - how can decline be feared upon you
When you are the remedy for sickness?

30. The time had frowned and we said,
"Salih is righteous," so it smiled.

31. If we were delighted by its blossoming with dew,
It has harmed the lifespans of piles of bliss.

32. For a journey the pillar spends the night contracted in it,
When the miserly hears a voice in it, he is stubborn

33. And he comes walking while in himself are concerns:
Weakening, not strengthening, him.

34. And the guide meets success, kindling the fire's years
To guide delegations to an abode,

35. Where delegations spend the night in bliss -
The quality of a generous-faced people,

36. Noble in origin, noble in nature.
May God reward well the backs of the riders

37. And bestow upon me the best reward of the pen!
For I used to seek the most generous

38. And I sought for praise the people of merit.
But when I found the family of Salih,

39. I found independence and lacked nothingness.
And I bore from their favor a blessing,

40. And position, wealth, meat, and blood.
Kings - when you count kings,

41. You count for them kings in nobility.
I served them in the shirt of youth

42. And I serve them in the shirt of old age.
So if I die, thanks to them will arise,

43. Written by the daughters of speech.
Passing it between the dweller of breasts

44. Either a Bedouin or a non-Arab.
