1. The phantom visited him in a dream
And blamed him for what he missed of his love

2. He was free of sickness, but when
The phantom visited him, he swore by the return of his illness

3. The phantom of the dream did not visit him, rather
The one who denied the sweetness of his sleep visited him

4. Strangely a phantom visits names
Without an appointment from his turban

5. A visitor from the folds of Syria, and its views
Like its views and its plains and mountains

6. The caravan marched and the darkness like its affection
And the dawn like its smile

7. And he crossed the valley of Al Arak, so the branches
Of Al Arak did not bend to his body

8. Whenever it passed by something soft, the leaves
Of the doves stirred sorrow with the dew

9. And I remembered residing in the poles of Naber
Watering a resident in his poles

10. Kindling the fire with twigs, and my heart
Contains what the twigs contain from its inflammation

11. A knight of the alive knights, neither fulfilling
His promise nor his word

12. The full moon exposed the darkness and it
Was like its exposure and its spout like its darkness

13. Oh my friend, serve me the unlawful drink
Turning away, and ask forgiveness from its unlawfulness

14. The daughter of a generous vine whose worry overflows
When its seal is opened by my worried brother

15. It took the path of life and crept
Between the flesh of the youth and his bones

16. Like the love of the beloved it is sipped by the
Souls like the drinking of the earth for its cloudburst

17. A king with a clear forehead, as if the
Sun is between his crown and turban

18. A benefactor from whom we gain generosity and
Wisdom from his speech

19. Time took the generous and returned
With it all who depart from his generosity

20. Reconciling, succeeding, easy when asked
A family and supported in his dispute

21. Neither Caesar reached his extent nor Yemen's Tubba`
In his position

22. Bestowing, spending, when the earth complains
A drop of his shower suffices

23. Passionate with dew, you see him see the
Questioner in his love for him in a dream

24. He maintained the kingdom after the kingdom
Declined until he established it with his determination

25. And the peak of loftiness collapsed, so he built it
With his strong resolve and sword

26. His palm emptied the treasures and wasted
The striking of the visitants the jars of his vigil

27. He fears God as he fears blame and ends the day while
All his gain is thanks

28. A king in whose favor the crowned kings
Drown in superiority and grace

29. The full moon rises in the sky, so it meets
Him with a face, while he equals its beauty

30. The night shines from his brilliance as
Its darkness shines with the fullness of its moon

31. And the morning breeze wafts with the scent
Of amber from his palace and tents

32. Successful, enabling, he walks and for the
Horizon an army behind and before him

33. Whenever he seeks something, God makes easy
What he wants from his purpose

34. Good fortune camped in his home, and he only
Prospers with his love for his imam

35. Benefiting the servants, whom he asked
God for their survival and continuity

36. Defending, preventing the border, he does not
Spare any effort to protect and care for it

37. His palace is like the Ka`bah, and its prosperity like
The Yemeni corner for us, and touching it like touching him

38. The virtues gave glad tidings to themselves when
They were given good news of serving his wine

39. And joy incited its songs, and the higher
Heavens shook for whoever is above its soil

40. An abode time desires to extend its
Cheeks in the place of its poles

41. The wind almost flew from the hand
In comfort to the right of his resolve

42. Indeed, time only rejoices in rejoicing
In it, and its sorrow in his worrying

43. God gave him good fortune and granted him
Success in his journey and residence
