1. My heart is infatuated with one whose beauty is sublime
Seeking union with one who does not unite

2. I wish I knew, my patience worn out
Would it hurt if he were to treat me kindly?

3. O you who has enchanted my heart with your glances
Will your eyelids not soften with tenderness and its showers?

4. O heart why do you still harbor hopes
Of attaining what you desire from one who has rejected you

5. So leave your passion and attribute your praise poetry to one
Who will last through times while his merits do not fade

6. A sea of generosity, a treasure of glories
And no one knows where its coast lies

7. Without fear of the passage of years or
The delay of rain as long as his fingers remain

8. Glory cannot be complete without its father
And how can it remain an orphan when he is its guardian

9. God has marked him with justice, seizing
Every opportunity for kindness, smiling, who can equal him?

10. As if he were a full moon in the dark night of glory
And his good fortune shone with the glad tidings it brought him

11. O you who claim to have gained all the honor
You have wasted your life on what you cannot attain

12. So how can you collect what the sea holds of pearls
When you count the sands but not its waves

13. The means of elevation still accompany him
And he debases those who oppose him

14. You see him in the procession of the brave, their protector
Victorious, attaining what he hopes and desires

15. He did not busy himself with sciences over his religious obligations
Rather, he exhausted the writer of the right hand with supererogations

16. O best of those who established supreme merit
And with whom his tribes boasted over all other peoples

17. Ibn Dhakir hopes for your prayer to benefit him
To be successful in attaining the good in both abodes

18. So please, by the souls of all worlds that I ransom
I have sought from you the best of kindness, so grant me it soon
