1. Alas say to the mighty Ala ad-Din
He is still mighty while his foe is weak

2. And the triumphant banner is still victorious
It withstands the passing days as they tilt

3. A letter came to me from him, its lines
Are blessings, and its text acceptance

4. I know not if between the lines are features
Sent by him, or if between them there is inclusion

5. For his passion has stirred my longing until he left me
Saying while concealing the pain is torment

6. Do you think the days will be happy in uniting us
And will I have a way to the coolness of the meeting

7. And if the world is stingy in uniting us
The view of an-Nasiri resort is beautiful
