1. A friend like a sword, graceful his features
The garment of love covers me despite my grey hair

2. A brother of determination or an Arab nobility
His conversations are complaints of passion and I flirt with him

3. Whenever I needed something from the land I would bend him
As if I'm his joints

4. I sympathize with him what my eyelids sympathize with my eyes
I'm not soothing him and I'm not spending on him

5. My friend, is there a glance we could return
To the soul of Nejd, would it revive its withered one

6. Did it grow in the valleys since we parted
I wish it lasts with its ruins

7. The day we met at Suluq while hearts leapt away
He shot an arrow and it stuck straight in its notch

8. I escaped with my confusion fearing the magic of his words
Not knowing the magic was in his eyes Babylon

9. He saw my love as a pasture and my eyes as a water spring
The water of palm trees was not enough, still begging for his rain

10. I stay up nights with anguish, whenever its latter part ends
Its beginning rolls back at me

11. As if the darkness is a intense cold
Prolonging its age in the meadows competing its height

12. I lifted my blanket while darkness blocks it
For the one in Salma, where did his qualities go?

13. It's like the gathering of goodbye between theLoading camels
Is but the twisting of my heart after they left and its camels

14. Behind the veil are the white bunnies
Surrounded on both sides by Salma's baby camels

15. The spears and well-knitted armors hide hisfeatures
So his gifts or brave actions may not be seen

16. Bangles scarcely fit his dyed hands
Or belts suit his figure

17. I've kept the secret of his love I confided
And I departed him seeking, and my heart still bonds with him

18. My eye hasn't stopped loving and admiring him
Until right defeated by the dreams of my mouth

19. My excuse for what life aspires
Is my chastity from my generosity and its trials

20. It preoccupies me to abandon my manners
For its manners as nature burdens its carrier

21. My daily potion is a sip of wine
Covering me while the living shiver and clench

22. I see men cannot be consoled from misfortunes
If protected or tired from their generosity

23. Greediness is nothing but excess if you abandon it
You won't miss provision you've already consumed

24. Fate made the virtuous throughout days
A casualty to the side of time shaking its shoulders

25. The young man gets from opinion what luck mandated
And what destiny drafted diminishing his status

26. The insightful cures every illness that afflicts him
And is blind to the disease that actually kills him

27. Why should I have, among the noble, remnants
Who would shake my hand, I don't resemble?

28. Whenever Ibn Abdullah became well and his loyalty right
His students sufficed me, loving me and reaching me

29. Good news haven't stopped coming from Ahmad
Nor years from drying Ahmad's palm or rain

30. A generous man who raced the sea to generosity
Then returned excelling over all ships

31. What narrators have said about the generous was true
And more than the truth of what its doer did

32. One who blames him has the right for his openhandedness
Tempting him often to give lavishly

33. It is as if generosity is his religious duty
Whenever its obligation on him passes, extras double

34. Those who blame his spending no matter how much his money increases
How can anything remain with you in small number?

35. You see his glory transparent through his honesty
If good leads the clues to him

36. It is as if the veil of sun is above his forehead
And Ridwa's shoulder carrying whatever fits his attire

37. Extending glory's course whenever unsheathed
Challenging the spear’s straps while equating

38. With little sleep except unwell
Preparing solutions as if the night tied him for rest

39. If a back is heavily loaded, it is supported
By the heaviest responsibility it carries

40. When faced with plight, his wisdom features shine
Resembling the stars for its sharpness

41. He protected the kingdom while wolves are frisky around it
Distracting it from departure and holding its reins back

42. Responding when asked "O victory aide in feebleness"
At times when one's brother disappoints

43. He threw in the horizons from him a leather bag
Weighing it against time makes its heaviest burden swing

44. During his days but by an opposing kin
Trying to ruin him or a stubborn litigant

45. When the state sought refuge in its glory days
It is but its banner and pillars

46. None is like the Guide in preserving others' sanctity
Nor those who ascended in status with its causes

47. A stranger to favors and humbleness his face
His expressions speaking of inability from him

48. But he is the full moon that never wanes
Until planets whiten the horizon entirely

49. He rides the wild steeds walking surely on their backs
Not envied by pedestrians for his smooth ride

50. With roomy saddle, dust does not flare under soft fur
Nor do the packed saddles bother its packed luggage

51. Trustworthy if creatures were to thirst
The rainfall realizes not even its fifth

52. As the repeller beyond the competing horses
Chasing him for a period before slowly surpassing him

53. You'd think he confides with a companion
What secret would remain that he didn't share?

54. A trustee of my secret or a responder to my greeting
And carrier of the secret I bear

55. Perhaps what I have burdened from Ahmad's passion
Would be relieved if I lament to him

56. I promised myself to never betray
My chest fortress with unshakable ties

57. Why does my heart show weakness to this
And tremble as if strange matters shake it?

58. It is inevitable for passion's weight to mystify you
A passion not experienced before with any equal

59. Even before you, I've never feared
That other waters would secretly lure me

60. Nor that a neighborhood in a tiny village would tempt me
When I resent it, its homes and lodgings

61. But your abundant unmatched merit
Could only inspire deficient visions in one's mind

62. May God reward the day He gathered me with you
With wellness and give him what he asks for me

63. You were but clouds I hoped for to moisten my lips
So its pouring rain poured unto me

64. Yet, how soon have I rushed dear friendship
When distance wouldn't upset its fulfillment

65. With you I attained the days' wrath but in you
More than what I have is my expectation

66. My friend are you heedful of good intention
A brother whom worries did not busy from you?

67. Yes, your promise is an unbreakable bond
The betraying hand cannot loosen or disentangle

68. You made me a weaved pillow I fancy
Though arrows have pierced it

69. And an eloquent virgin whose house
Is tall, lasting, tiring all who proposed to her

70. She has ancestry in poetry like dawn in the darkness
When lineage is ambiguous, her torches are raised

71. Her father nobly thoughtful and prideful in all
Attaining her, son-in-law, as if bonding with you

72. The New Year brought her to you from me as a gift
By Allah, neither did I send nor correspond for her

73. If she appeared in her horse-riding uniform
Her jewelries crown, bands and garlands

74. Live in a glory making people helpless
As my words make expressions helpless

75. The best of what I regulated is the comfort of my conscience
