1. This beloved and this dawn,
The reproach of the jealous toward them is seduction,

2. And the braided hair adorns you with its sight
As it is irrigated, and the curly hair is twisting.

3. O killer of my cup with the abundance of its water,
The living and the killed are equal to me.

4. With water everything perishing is revived
Except for cups, their perishing is from water.

5. And comfort is not for its lovers a comfort
Unless enriched by wealth and songs.

6. I ransom the one whose illness made me ill,
And he is the cure for my passion and disease.

7. By my cheek and his cheek when they appear
From the intensity of our passion and shyness,

8. How is reaching union when between us
A separation, and without his embrace the slender necked!

9. For God's sake, my neighbors with their blankets
With them moths and mosquitoes.

10. As if they and the stench of their rest
In their rest are weakness, blood and gore.

11. So it is as if the country's diseases in its entirety
Were quenched by the sword of al-Din and time.

12. A king the sky adorned itself with his glory,
And the poets beautified themselves with praising him.

13. He brings life and kills the arrogant and frightened,
So he is both ease and tribulation.

14. He continues rising in glories an ascendant,
And his enemies are his puffing ascents.

15. Who is Hatim al-Tai in his generosity,
This freshness, not his camels or sheep?

16. For the confessors of the treasuries of his money,
Every day there is a plundering raid.

17. So he is the good fortune of fortune when he appears
To onlookers, and in intelligence an intelligence.

18. And to Sumeysat his steeds took him
From Mardin, and that is the virgin.

19. It reached the shelters of her mountains with every armed
In his rest a yellow snake

20. Throwing its sons whenever it carried them,
And it has for them affection and crying.

21. And of wonders is that a black man attained
And for him in each hand a white hand.

22. The swords of God's religion and the kingship which
The titles and names have been ennobled by.

23. The clan of glory answered you the shells of peach
Since you have excelled in glory beyond the shells.

24. Does the dusty (world) carry one like you or did
The dusty (world) race with one like you on the day of the wager?

25. By your father's name we were guided in the darkness
And by your name the enemies flagged for us.

26. We pasture the dead and the dead around us
The heaven and sky have witnessed their bloodshed.

27. By God an accident threw me on the side of
This sanctuary and a bare wilderness.

28. He continues advancing returning in good fortune
As long as the morning and evening come.
