1. A flash of lightning shone brightly
Climbing hill after hill submissively

2. Piercing the side of night from the dawn sun
Then setting, to rise again rumbly

3. As if an Indian girl or her companions
First reveal then conceal their veils

4. Making the clouds recoil and bare gleaming swords
Cutting the veins of rain violently

5.
It seemed like a warrior shedding his cloak and traveling

6. So he closed the horizons of the tender vegetation
He set out, spreading his offspring in Nejd

7. Without being deterred or discouraged
He cracks the deaf stones with life

8. And spreads provision with them to the barren lands
You would think the places of rainfall between its waters

9. And its meadows are corresponding

10. He aimed arrows at the ground, leaving
No body of wilderness safe from their piercing

11. Pausing between hurting it
And bursting it forcefully

12.
It was good for the land in our view

13. Even if bad for us the works
She revealed the secret of passion and awakened

14. A dormant love from the era of sheaths
As if the one shedding his toughness

15. Was shedding the arrows of vitality

16. It reminds us of our life at encampments
Nights of its full moon shining

17. Meadows, if the youth of spring returns
Green Edens will return with it

18.
How many nights we spent without its wings

19. With its golden ornaments and bursting flash
Concealing swords under the darkness

20. And humble robes submissively
Shaking off the concealed conversation between us

21. About yearnings that cool beds
As if we were herding small camels settling

22. In which dew descended or driving back events

23. We memorize what was good talk
Of it and forget what was useless

24. Ships of passion I was unmindful
Of the paths of my life traversing them

25. I suckled worldly life out of necessity
Oh how soon I was weaned off it

26. I entrust the days with my affection
Unpreserved, unable to keep trusts

27. Afterwards it gives you the sweetest of its decay
Refusing permission decisively

28. Garments that will only dry up
And a waistband that only deceives

29. If it kept my pact in storage
I would have never felt bereaved in youth

30. O you who intentionally and playfully
Scattered that crow far from my tribe

31. What pleased me in its slumberous night
Is that I see its emerging stars

32. Litters that were for my shoulder when
I picked them became encompassing snares

33. So today they do not reason with me except distractedly
And do not cling to me except decisively

34. They repeat what was once pleasant to me
As unpleasant and shocking in the eye

35. Never before old age did I
Adorn with pearls denouncing the adorned

36. What is it, O time, even if I carried it
From you at best I carried emerging

37. It knew my utmost demands
And the adverse fates pulled its luck

38. It knew that its perfection was its sin
And that in deficiency is intercession to you

39. One with little mind blames my contentment
If he was free in honor he would be content

40. Customary to vices from his earning
Enemy of wolves, hopes drew near

41. If you seek satiation through humiliation
You never satiate time except remaining hungry

42. I controlled myself so I restrained my shepherd
And I felt unrestricted, the bridle cast off

43. Neither the knight of injustice rides my back
Nor the flock of humiliation hits my side

44. I decided to never unwillingly accompany humiliation
Or hopefully expect obedience

45. Submissive to His guidance, humiliated
He knows that greed is no use

46. Gamble with your world and sell it freely
At the cheapest prices, you profit, seller

47. If you live followed by it, envied
Or die and not become a follower

48. Among the people is one who gives you
From his tongue the brilliance of lineage, addressing you radiantly

49. Dazzling your ears and special for you in
His ribs appropriate amazements

50. So if you gain glory from them
Then pretend with it, producing loftiness

51. And insist to one infatuated by it
If he escapes you he won't return

52. I swear by the veiled women, their market
Outcasts from its attractions drawing out

53. Shores darkening the darkness, monasteries
Then turning precisely fingers

54. Giving drink without humiliation, appearing
Protected necks and to Him submissive necks

55. When they threw behind them a land
They became shady for another, drawing out

56. You would think them floating above the deserts
Sailing, rowing fast ships

57. Bearing each self-blamer for his sin
The feared extensive sin

58. Giving the emaciated his judgment from his face
Until after the whiteness apparent leanness is seen

59.
Seeking the rest of his effort with another effort

60. Until he stands, bowing and prostrating
Their ghosts carrying gifts

61. To the intended, repelling motives
And my state was bleak but I rose with it

62. After I was lowly, fallen
And I became unable to ward off the lofty gate

63. When I was only repelling
A just ruler from time judged me

64. Not leaving a share of virtue lost
I shone, pearls of dominion on

65. His forehead retained stamps
The meteors of success showing through them

66. To sound eyes an apparent light
Unhappy with the gloom, you see for it

67. No deterrence from advocating for it
If you hint at it while frowning, a rock

68. From it, and you continuously flow it fluid
You cannot change him from his nature

69. In generosity, who can change dispositions?
He saves his father from being seen

70. Shaky to catastrophes, submissive
If he meets its brigades, defeating them

71. With a brain, misfortunes accustomed it
You do not see the soul of a dignified young man

72. Until humiliated before them, disasters
When the clan of Abdul Rahim became prestigious

73. With their origin, towering over them
They ruled and he came excelling their corruption

74. As the full moon hides the rising stars
He bent the heads tilting toward them

75. And made people crafts for them
He gave them a chapter of glory like no

76. Other glory I coveted for a people
So if I gained from them a follower,

77. Guide of my advice or convinced a listener
I would say tighten your loins from your women

78. And prohibit suckling after it
You were while among them the most benevolent

79. So the elite surpassed the cud-chewers
Your birth gathered their pride

80. As rest gathers fatigue
And you all attained highness exerting

81. Yourself, a child then ruling as a youth
From a group who pacified time, a strong trunk

82. And adorned its days, meadows
Dividing the world with their swords

83. Seizing it between them, fragments
If pleased, they jest, or if angry

84. They do not excel in wrath, contending
Excuses find them strict

85. When they seek forgiveness and giving is vast
They plugged vulnerability of frontlines with spears

86. And ruled over the enemy, laws
Sending scowling grunting troops

87. That milk for guests lethal poison
Mute or hearing amidst antelope in it

88. And amidst the thickets, clutter
Birds of prey seek provision through it, and beasts of the deserts

89. So eagles provide for it
Revealing the blackness of crows above it

90. From the dye of night, its whiteness pleasing
Turning back the belly folds of ostriches from it

91. Quenching the throats of lions
When the croaking lulled the eyes they made

92. Their sights in its croak the hearing
So they woke up its darkness, with swords

93. Clubs and unsheathed clubs
Their vestiges continue, aided

94. By your determination, raising and lowering

95. The kingdom did not see a place of its victory
And secret from you common

96. And your grandfather stood up, protecting
And repelling for you from the enemies’ hopes

97. Necks lengthened to your complaints, and sufficed
God’s sufficiency for them, all encompassing

98. A people thought of you what they did not reach
Or the wicked reach the deceivers

99. An illness crept wanting
Then came longing for you, drawing out

100. It visited for a period then feared anger
From you, so it turned, hastening away

101. Neither lacking in work nor violating a pact
Of resolve or disturbing a peaceful soul

102. You carried it your carrying of the burdens of highness
Not frustrated or refusing, contending

103. Lord of selves, your soul relieved it of a pain
That were not to it deterring

104. Wishing that God protect you for it
Even if you tomorrow neglected, lost

105. May God not comfort the eye of an envier
Who saw the speck of your innocence and faults

106. May the zeal of devotion not excuse from a self
That would be, had I been secure from it, detached

107. May celebration not make you accustomed
To it, the years, returning ever

108. Rising fortunes upon you from its bliss
With the best vanishing and rising star

109. Drawing from the garments of honor with it
Sparkles you do not refuse

110. Everyone unemployed adorns himself
With your traits, the arts of poetry

111. Of strange things, ever accompanying
The winds, scattered pieces

112. If its reciter took it aside, it left
Him right, spreading the works

113. Never before me entered or penetrated
The tongues, making heard the like of them

114. Spinsters who entrusted you their youth
Knowing your fortification of trusts
