1. Is it from the fantasy of his desire and dream
That your tears harmonized atop the cheek?

2. And the ruins kept asking what you did
And how can one without understanding understand?

3. Far be it for you to cry for a singing girl
Who cries over you a little, then smiles

4. What benefit is there in tears after death
During farewell, neither harm nor illness

5. That which intimacy did not bring near, abundance made distant
Even if you brought it closer, it was still nonexistent

6. Tell those whose intention I was before between them
So they handed me over to the predators, they did not make peace

7. And time which betrayed my skin
Be however you want, for I have a purpose and protector

8. I mean Abu Hasan Musa whose hand
Is refuge of the destitute and her gratitude encompasses nations

9. This minister whom prosperity witnessed for him
Through it desolation and blessing

10. The perfect master, valiant literary figure and he
For whose comfort the paper and pen glory

11. A hand which trims the claws of calamities he has
An opinion whereby the fierce and stubborn are subdued

12. Of such honor that by its authority injustice is illuminated
And of such comfort that by its intimacy adversity is expelled

13. No knot of sorrows was resolved from his generosity except
That glory in his presence was shattered

14. Nor did the eyes of riches weep from his hand
Except that the lips of wishes through it smiled

15. O you whom when asked, his court saw
What his two hands possessed being divided

16. A hopeful came to your hands taking benefit
From what pains his days brought him

17. So release him from the shackles of time which ruined his side
For it is your generous nature to pardon

18. So take advantage of gratitude for what you wish for
For gratitude is the best that you can gain and covet
