1. Darkness fell and your heart beats
Restlessly in the midst of your sides lies a disturbing care

2. The bed became hot and I became confused in it while you both
Are tormented and anxious beneath the darkness

3. Time passed while you are infatuated with wishes
And youth is gone while you are downcast

4. Strangely, silence gives you pleasure along with passion
While it makes everyone else speak out of love

5. Passion was created for your cheeks and long they
Suspected the suspicions about your cheeks and drowned

6. And blamed you with laxity, and had they witnessed what
You conceal in those ribs, they would have empathized

7. You hid the secrets of the heart, and yet
The secret of the heart is stolen from sights

8. Vent with your Lord the distress of your heart
And have mercy on your cheeks, for they are torn

9. And remember for us the era of those who
United their concerns upon you and dispersed

10. Why did rhymes deny you when they were not
Circulating in any market but yours

11. Why did rhetoric stand still at any other door
Weeping with impatience so it shines

12. I have not ceased, like your anxiety in youth,
To indulge in composing and fall in love

13. My soul despite calamities is youthful
My will despite disasters is flourishing

14. Indeed, the one who tempted the slumber with my eyelids
Is my stubborn heart which clings to him

15. I trusted he will not confess, and yet
On Judgement Day that pact will be untied

16. And I suffered from his nearness and distance
A brother of misery is destined for misery

17. I accompanied the causes of consent to ride
The saddle of conflict to acquire what makes me dignified

18. And I patiently endured from him what the forebearing
Endure, and the foolish fear

19. I have become like an infatuated man, worshipping his hair
And forehead while I am the honorable refined man

20. And I have become composing pearls from the crevices of his lips
To adorn the beauties and garland them

21. My patience has ransacked my treasures and shaken me
And showed me how to excellently coordinate

22. So you revealed to me the passion's complaint and preceded me
In praising Abbas, and the likes of you takes the lead

23. The president said, so what value remains for words after it
Merchandise stretched and undeserved praise elegance

24. My passion you attributed, so I did not possess my tears
To flow with them the intimate ardent man

25. You exhausted the necks of people in praising him
Rhetoric bowed to its Lord and logic kneeled

26. You left me no bonus in praise
For my weak pen to flow and catch up

27. My soul longing to praise its prince
And my caution among people to yearn

28. What can I say while you both regarding his praise
Are two seas both flowing

29. Incapacity made me sit while my resolves
Were it not for you, above the sky they fly

30. So alas for Abbas that in his grip
Are two flags shaken by absolute loyalty

31. And let him remain a treasure for the country and its people
Forgiving and having mercy on whom he wishes and pardoning

32. Abbas and Eid are both splendid
Dazzlingly splendid each by the other's side

33. This one blood flows for him and that one
Praises flow for him and embrace

34. Truthful is he who said about him, and it suffices
That time confirms what he says

35. Yours are Egypt's past and present together
And yours is the destined necessary future
