1. Your longing spans a beautiful, radiant light
While worries dim the sheen of pleasure pools

2. Yet with wisdom you endured times of ignorance
Calmed life’s tremors, and reached out to unite

3. Ninety pilgrimages behind, the dreams of passion done
You've turned from fools, let the lessons settle, alight

4. Leave loose women be, hold to righteousness, know
That time entangles all threads without respite

5. Eons pass yet that which flows ever constant
Is destiny’s path from first footsteps to last flight

6. We thank Abdullah for his fine ordeal
Each setback now behind, tomorrow shines bright

7. At Jubaylia in Al Jawlan, where his grace
Rained down and his deeds all nobleness, aright

8. My family, though long set in Darim
Has risen with glory to heights luminescent, white

9. And though tempestuous times have battered our home
Some things remain beyond the grasp of envious blight

10. Kin of Bakr whose brotherly affection
Stood sturdy when others betrayed without contrition

11. He shielded us from what no man could withstand
Save one perfected, son of the wholly upright

12. Your fond missive has reached all Murra’s homes
Carrying friendship to those true bonds unite

13. Without, Abu Abdulmalik, brother mine
I would have left to glad welcome without slight

14. At peace by the roses, no troubles detain,
Enwrapped by Al Jawlan’s soft, sweet moonlit night
