1. How long beneath the cloak of darkness does my wounded heart remain obscure
And through the night my inner gloom persists, unknown and insecure

2. Are you in love's dominion the paramour supreme, the first to pine away
Launching your burning arrows that show no mercy, will not gently sway

3. My youth you've aged, O night, in the prime of life, how your hours can impair
Many that whitened my temples and loaded my shoulders with care

4. You shorten not for me, nor I for you - transgressor or transgressed
You've wearied me, and wearied, is there one who might judge this contest?

5. To God I've confided, my secret beyond what the heart can withstand or withhold
She asked "whose plaints now trouble my peace?" Who dares to me unfold?"

6. I said "It's he so wounded, so aggrieved, still writhing in pain"
She wondered, as if my name she'd not retained

7. Me, whom she'd known, and hadn't, for whom if not for her eyes I'd no plea
I surrendered myself to passion assuming that she'd not go free

8. And I came, hope urging me on, none who enter your abode will be denied
I complained of the one with beauty's cheek, of her glances, and the wounds they hide

9. No arrow shows mercy, passion leaves no reprieve, youth feels no remorse
If you could see him in the dark of night, stumbling, stammering his course

10. Approaching his bed, fearing, hesitating, drawing back his steps once more
Glancing at his bed, then turning away, shrinking in fright and withdrawing before

11. As if with despair he's wasting away, above his bed, willfully heads toward doom
Barbs from all sides assail him, every corner with anguish is strewn

12. As if amidst it all he sees hell's flames licking the sides of a valley's pit
Such in brief hints at my torment from your eyes, though greater still I omit

13. They said "It's you! Woe to you! Rely on Love to help you uphold your claim!"
How many incantations fuel your passion, your words but nonsense and vain

14. We've heard of you, and it troubles us, the blame on you and your love prolonged
Go now, restrain your sorcery - we know you, cease your misleading song

15. I listened to these intigues, estranged her and sinned while they further defamed
Until no cure remained and she came to me in regret while they felt the same

16. She came not to visit the sick, but to bid farewell if she had known
I swore by Al-'Abbas I spoke the truth - so bid them all swear and atone

17. I attained in my time rule's domain and by its splendor I was graced
The celestial bodies and fate itself are servants - He alone exalted

18. I rejoiced when I saw your procession safe, when Al-'Abbas his smile displayed
I praised my Lord when your abode He secured, with your strong resolve arrayed

19. The hearts of Muslims throbbed and trembled, the seat of the caliphate shook
The Sacred House wished you well, Mecca's valley and Zamzam invoked

20. Echoed in Egypt prayers for you - the Nile and its plains, all invoked your name
Child asked elder for news of you while breaths bated, spirits aflame

21. Until they were calmed, assured of your recovery, your universal fortune hailed
You emerged rejuvenated, resolved, while the foe in defeat exhaled

22. My master - your nation, a trust - was torn with enmity's tumors
The Copt called loudly, no peace with Muslims! and their rights he rumor

23. Anger prevailed over law, misguided them - the fool acted, the wise held back
Beliefs embraced that no faith accepts, no wise would on them embark

24. Why O Copt incite Egypt from the affection of its Muslim throng?
And what revenge do you fear, while plots make Muslims headstrong?

25. We've endured life's sorrows, we all lament, so we're equal and ask:
Will you show sincere loyalty if we cleanse this rancid chasm?

26. All Muslims I represent, if you prove true, their loyalty gained
Lord of the throne, we're in need of your wisdom's light while chaos still reigns

27. Grace us with your heavenly counsel, uniting hearts when problems loom
Gather the dissidents with resolve to end division, the knot unglue

28. Both sides revere your glorious throne with devotion, so please ordain
Guide us rightly by your pleasure, for in you both comfort glean

29.
