1. Like the sun from a burning coal, the servant of the sun
My anger is intense, my soul against itself

2. A procrastinator, ungrateful, does not fulfill
His debts and obligations, does not forget

3. In a land where hunting its wild beasts is forbidden
Yet with it she makes lawful the hunting of mankind

4. You see the blood of lovers in her fingers
A sign that has been obscured with henna

5. She corrupts gentle, moderate nature
With her rough, coarse manners, like the sun

6. In her glance is coquetry, and her heart
Enthusiasm that she attributes to zeal

7. I reminded her of the promise to a concealer
She said "I forgot" and separation makes forget

8. I find her strange adornment objectionable
That stains for me a familiar intimacy

9. And hair altered with other hair
She changed with curlers, made me forget

10. Is it not just old age, or has Malik
Inevitably become the eve of sunset?

11. You have no claim on love or its place
When folly occupies the place of good sense

12. Seek union with her briefly, as long as
You do not follow it with long separation

13. The generous are gone, their traces erased
I cannot preserve her as she was studied

14. Except the house whose lines were drawn
In which her glory settles and resides

15. The clan of Abd al-Rahim built in the heights
The best building over the best foundation

16. Repel with them the wrath of every despised one,
A blind one who repels eminence with holiness

17. Aim at them a star, and its good fortune
Will save you as a rescuer each ill-omened day

18. With al-Husayn I passed my time happily
He was not harmed, a firm, mature palm tree

19. He warded harm from me, so I rose up
From disasters, with wolves prowling

20. He spread my hopes - be a pillar
O you who saw the life that is in the Rama tree

21. And stretch out a hand, so it will be a charm
While fate is a gaping snake, eager to devour me

22. I grasped it, so with its softness
It forgave me the coarse years’ venom

23. No eye has awakened to a face like his
And today Abbas is the evening's sunset

24. I have not seen a arm but his is whiter
In disasters, the darkest gloom

25. From a shady, fruitful palm tree
Sweet are its fruits, good is its sapling

26. They followed you, branches of their origin
Their dinar was not a counterfeit coin

27. If the honor of a people is tested one day
And cloaked in sickness with a flimsy cover

28. They spent the night with dishonored honor in the heights
The day of pride, with smooth faces

29. Perfect, protected virtues
Arab and Persian combined

30. Their estrangement and mark were not polluted
By abasement, by their slave women and servants

31. Today there remains of your ornaments with you
The remainder of a thin, engraved line

32. The taking of truth from its falsehood
Changed it, and exceeded intimacy

33. So beware of preserving them in custom
The spinner of lineage and the right of birth

34. And spend the hours of joy for an hour
Followed by the healing of drunkenness with composure

35. Between the injustice of a goblet and its justice
And between rousing a blossom and sobriety

36. This is for a noble Persian knight
And that is a plaster of the Christians' gypsum

37. I was amazed by a piece of wood from wood
It came and from it spoke on behalf of the mute

38. So drink to Ibn al-Muwaffaq - his chastity
Was torn, a virgin daughter of a minister

39. And take for the winter days preparations
As the bride took her wedding preparations

40. From your generosity I have a custom
That forgetfulness imprisons for some captivity

41. You find me when the meadow's shepherds had spent
Periods of my occultation and my absence

42. Glory lies in what you prepare smoothly
And benefit that you dress at the time of dress

43. My need, when I propose a need
Is in the refinement of perception and excellence of touch

44. That today be what comes tomorrow
Since yesterday I gathered you all together

45. And know in myself, you are the best of knowers
That winter is the enemy of the soul
