1. Know that my heart for them will remain
So take my torment gently, more than deserved

2. And turn your kind faces away
A generous heart does not turn away

3. If I could unleash their disobedience
How much disobedience did a father and mother endure

4. If it's not boredom that turned them away
Then apologies will please them when they complain

5. Even if their affection becomes troubled
The sun still rises, though sometimes it hides

6. She did not accept the torment that touched me
From her people, and I suffered because of them

7. Until I came upon barren sands, which never
Touched the bosoms of barren sands or clouds

8. Rejections the Mars uncovered his landscape
For them, while Jupiter remains hidden

9. Yet the estrangement of Saif Al-Din was the greatest
I encountered, while beside it the heart forgets the sea

10. I came from my refuge in him and was surprised
By what hopeful eyes had not foreseen

11. And people shook until one said
O guide of life, no water or grass

12. So I said, did the valley run dry or the clan grow poor
Or did that worry and sorrow dissolve

13. I was told, no, it's just the current state of affairs
And the fortress of might is inhabited, the cups full

14. It's just that the Saifi council has strayed
So if hopes are frustrated, it's no surprise

15. How could the world not turn away, following
His opinion, when he's the reason for its prosperity

16. Were it not for his blessed intercession, the aim of his wishes
Neither effort nor seeking would succeed

17. O gatherer of might and piety, and between them
A distance too vast to approach or near

18. It has become clear to me something I was ignorant of
And the obscure becomes known gradually

19. That a man among family and homeland
Is a stranger in white clothes with good manners

20. Of pure chivalry, were it not for the bounty of his nobility
And faith, the slanderers would have gotten what they sought

21. How could lies spread in his council
When religion and reputation prevail over it
