1. My nights over Uqur are only weeping and wakefulness
I reckon dawn is fruitless from what appears

2. I observe the setting of a settled matter
In its stars that seem to have never turned

3. And whenever I say the night is folding
A part of it spreads out

4. I ask it where are the settlements
Where is the awaited day

5. And everything to it
Is only slumber and magic

6. From my informer, yet I don’t see
Did a night last and continue?

7. And the sun disappeared yes
So how did the moon become immortal?

8. Where are the loved ones who were flung
In the far-flung places of cautious separation

9. They’re gone and no house has disappeared for them
Nor a land nor travel

10. But the bashful glances from them
Of slyness and coquetry

11. Have not ceased looking
Preventing us even from looking

12. They looked upon the fire of my love
How it flares up in the heart

13. And what it inspires
Upon the wings of memory

14. And what fire is in their eyes
When looking

15. They sang of beautiful Rifa
And the cups had not turned

16. So every reveller took pleasure
And every wanton got drunk

17. As if my heart for her
Was in the chest of all who attended

18. So I remained weeping as I
Drink tears of red wine

19. As if the water of my cup
Was squeezed from between my eyelids

20. The messenger said Rifa has complained
I said what is the news

21. He said she says we are bored of her
I said the bored one has betrayed

22. No, by Him who if He willed
Could bring me justice from her

23. My eye was not tempted by another
For the beauty of its image

24. Yes, and I do not deny it
And it’s not something novel

25. Indeed I saw the full moon belonging
To the two signs and arrow

26. The soft wind strikes it
So it levels out and blinks

27. So I was inclined to compare her to it
Sometimes embracing and sometimes chaste

28. If she sees that as a sin
I am one who makes amends

29. Oh day that separated us
What an evil visitor you were

30. You were not in the days except
A glance that ruins joy

31. The birds warned me about you
But my heart was not deterred

32. And blamers extended to me
Snares of blame so it flowed

33. He saw weakness so he prevented
Not obeyed and ordered

34. Saying return meek
One who spins old with age

35. And what connection is there
Between love and life

36. And where is the turbulence of the soul
With the whitening of hair

37. Many a youth whose night
Ends with the sunnah wraps in the morning

38. And an old head whose sin
Is forgiven in dens

39. I swore by the disheveled locks
Troops over troops

40. They see blatant injustice
With the kiss of that cheek

41. And whoever appealed and endeavored
And sought the lion and ember

42. And their market is like threshing floors
That only chaff is obtained when threshed

43. Packed camels whose
Vegetation is the time of rain

44. They came exerting themselves to be
Tested and examined

45. For every cradle is its sacrifice
It’s protectors have immolated souls

46. That the clan of Abdul Rahim
Good treasury of the stored

47. And best that blocked with it
The day of deadly battles

48. The harbinger of war, gloomy and bristling
And the cattle boys of the tribe drive away

49. Excess sheep from the lack of bridges
And the wind does not twist on

50. Tops of houses and walls
And you reckon the winner from it

51. Is the feeder of the stone stomach
And the preventers of neighbors if

52. Removed from them they would not pull
Until the honor of Tamim in Mudar

53. Becomes their honor
After the death cry ends it

54. And they who give openly
Sustenance is poured upon them or decreed

55. They do not count one who gave
If he did not become poor

56. For them are ponds of generosity and
Blue oceans, abundant and flooding

57. Its reservoirs are emptied for them
Then for the people the cisterns

58. Sons of glory who carried it
As influence after influence

59. A narration whose authenticity
The rest of those who disappeared attest to

60. The saying is championed by
Action so the news is safe

61. They lived a life just as
They lived good bones and graves

62. They competed horizons of
Loftiness as stars compete shooting

63. It's as if they're the worthless creatures
In the faces of the world

64. So they took the rhythm of the reed-pipes
Not fasting and monks

65. The meadows of youth did not leave
In them distaste or bitterness

66. Then forty passed
Of life while he was in the age of adolescence

67. And he saw the day tomorrow
So he only wanted resolve

68. Neither does fear constrict him
Nor does safety make him arrogant in confidence

69. His challenger is one
Who rouses himself, not relying

70. Whenever he feels a respite
He plunges into it and recoils

71. He does not betray assumptions
Or discard rights with excuses

72. I held on to your love with
The compliant, bitter duo

73. Smooth, treachery does not make him
Rough like octopus arms

74. And you were where I suggested
And a people refused others

75. You give for frivolity what
They give when pleading pearls

76. And good from you is for me
Even if it came abundantly

77. Love that did not help
Myself indens with secrets

78. So I do not fly with a brother
Soaring if you do not fly

79. Nor does my liver calm down
If you reconcile with one estranged

80. So remain despite the slander of enviers
A rescue from others

81. May God watch over you from
The evil of human eyes

82. What the Nayrouz trailed
In the dress of gardens and occurred

83. And a coming year cycled
While you remain until it does not cycle

84. And listen to it leading an offer
Of wealth while he is poor

85. Defeated ones smile with it
Smooth of happinesses

86. The wind submitted to it
The lead of spirits and virginity

87. As it wiped itself with veils
Spirits of magic blew for you

88. So it is with you rational
And it is straying, not settling

89. When the daughters of a poet
Are feminized or they impede

90. So every daughter born
In your praise from me is male

91. You see my enviers present
Reciting as he dies

92. Hastening it from himself
Outstripping the decree

93. He listens to it while his love
If it were before would settle
