1. If cordiality is not maintained among you
Then kinship and distance become equal

2. Promises made when building homes are forgotten
Just as the ruins are alternated by new structures

3. And oaths that lose their meanings
While fingers and numbers retain them

4. They fly away with betrayal from every companion
And the hearts' seeds through them are reaped

5. Are you hindered by your rejection or blessed by Sa'd
With some evil, or is it manners and custom?

6. And blame in you that hurts me or befalling me
I am the touched and the blame the counter

7. And you have excused while nothing but old age is a thing
I would counter you with a fault or almost do

8. And my whiteness does not condemn me with it
A sin, nor does your blackness

9. At the meeting point of two seas is a house
For the passionate - in it is their purpose

10. I stood and dwellers with me over it
Oh house! What did happiness do?

11. I say to them justifying my ardour in you
And soon the thirst will trickle from the overflow

12. Take from your day to the next a share
Of the ruins - today is provision

13. Good has been attained - trust every hatred
So your remedy from your remedies is beneficial

14. The cunning of my time frightens me
Your small ones - I do not feel or almost perceive

15. And its power if stinginess does not give
And its extremity if given is exhaustion

16. So say to its youth I am not your brother
Distance between us forever and forever

17. May God help a poor man hopeful of you
For hoping the like of you is struggle

18. We accept from your tribes a house
The pillar of bounties - for it pillars

19. The children of Abdel Raheem and every pride
Vanishes - so through their lineage it is utilized

20. Repeat the greeting to people
If they initiate to you a hand they repeat

21. And stand and speak praise in meadows
And delegations of glory from it are not countered

22. Smiling they show from them
Brows - each clearly armored

23. They saw protecting souls if they were pardoned
And life was stingy in stinginess so they spent

24. Redeeming the benefactors, their superior youth
Its spreader when they tread and perished

25. Called in generosity and from it is not
Whenever the noble acknowledges you O Ziyad

26. Leave the lofty to be dragged by a noble lineage
Your whiteness the day its blackness is darkness

27. His steps lengthen if he stands among them
And the sword on his waist shortens from its sheath

28. Oh son of Ali, a hand seized you from me
That did not know before you what custom is

29. I contended with the misfortunes of life and in me is feebleness
So blame and weakness are heavy burdens

30. That's why the sun is given more light
And your love that cannot be given more

31. And your share of the crop of my mind is praise
That lengthens and its length in you is balance

32. If what is promised hopes for a hearing
It is repeated and it being good is regained

33. So none were addressed with more eloquent than it ever
Nor was articulated with more eloquent than its “d”

34. Lo! Do not mention the life with goodness
A lad unless you in it are the purpose

35. If a man acquires the support of a star like you
What your father Saad extended supports him

36. Your resemblance and the heights from it are adaptation
From it and it being the best of it birth

37. And you were the full moon perfected so a star increased
As its orb was completed by generosity

38. So live and reserve it for the living as a cave
And the best reserve of the body is consciousness
