1. She has eyes that never sleep
And a gaze that's forever mocking

2. From under the blossoming branches
Nothing of her necklaces appeared

3. I never shared in loving you
After having you as my only concern

4. And I treated with kindness
The one who turned away from me

5. Until he who fled calmed down
I kept wiping his shoulders

6. While he was confused about my story
Until from embarrassment he bowed his head

7. And every aversion from him vanished
I was amazed at myself and my dignity

8. In a stance of an admonisher and an excuser
In a sleepless night

9. What hearing or sight does the sleeping have?
I laid the trap when the air was clear

10. Until the bird fell down
I was so happy with it

11. That I think I'm absent yet present
I think I'm the commander of all people

12. Appointed and obeyed
Like an almighty victorious king

13. Al-Sayyid ibn Al-Sayyid Al-Murtaza
A branch grown by the noble family

14. The most honorable of world's kings
First in glory now and later

15. The nights flow to his wishes
Willingly and the planets revolve

16. Blessed is his ascent, auspicious is it
The light of the Most High shows on his face

17. Those who haven't seen him know
He's the one remembered by all

18. Better than being carried by a withered
Camel like a spear or a broken one

19. Stab who shook the tall spear
Not everyone who shook a spear is skillful

20. By God I don't know if he's a courageous lion
In his saddle or a marching brave soldier

21. No wonder the protector of the despicable is a lion cub
Whose father is a ferocious sleeping lion

22. Or a star guiding people in darkness
Whose father is a shining moon

23. His father, the good guide
The helper and guider

24. The puller and pulled have equaled
In you both a manifest lesson

25. Its proof evident
Both of you sought its booty

26. Just as his father before was seeking
You fulfill the covenant, loyal to it

27. While he betrays what he pledges
You believe in the verses of guidance

28. Affirming while he disbelieves in them
He disappointed the family of the Chosen One

29. While you are a sword helping them
If he lived and you both competed

30. You would defeat and he would lose
If seniority in time preceded him

31. He lags behind your superiority
You were first in what you built

32. And he last in what he demolished
With what you were given an honor

33. Let the boaster be proud
You have become, by the ease of the Most High, where

34. No sight or thought can reach you
Your destiny honored, enemies say

35. You can do what you want
No discourager to whom you give pride

36. No barrier to whom you empower
Your green field never becomes empty

37. The coming and going wander it
You have become one of its visitors

38. No other gained what you gained
He was not satisfied to honor me alone

39. So he generously overwhelmed me
He honored me by closeness in his presence

40. Where courtesy and etiquette overflow
I never met its cheerful morning

41. Except wishes folded for me
Its constant kindness, a scent of dawn

42. Befalls me from its comfort
O guardian of the faith whom the famous proverb followed

43. O you who solely gained glory
And did not monopolize grace

44. O preceding whom no preceding claims
No eulogy reaches your sublime traits

45. Listen, your servant heard the good
From his sincerity and abundance

46. He did not know from the intoxication of his admiration
Whether it was magic words or a poet

47. But he honored your praise
With composing what you have disseminated

48. Even if I did good, I don't claim
That I thanked what I gave
