My enviers did not attain what they sought from God

ما بلغ الله حسادي الذي طلبوا

The beloved visited and anger and estrangement ceased

زارَ الحبيبُ وزال الهَجرُ والغَضَبُ

2. I complained to him while he was absent
And no reason for it is known to me

A sun dripping its embers on its face

شمسٌ تُنَقِّطها في وجهها الشَهُبُ

5. And its cup urged it on cheekily, its mouth
And its lips every time the loved one smiled at it

وثَغرُهُ كلما ضاحكتَهُ الحَبَبُ

6. Oh Abu Al-Hussein, it suffices me that you answer my call
On the day of hope when I call upon you as my refuge

يومَ الرجاء إذا ناديتُكَ الحَسَبُ

7. Indeed the departed Bramkas boasted of nothing
Except the easiest gifts given and granted

إلا بأيسَرِ ما تُعطى وما تَهَبُ

8. Generosity always held nobility in life
Since it was attributed to Yahya and traced back to him

٨. والفضلُ ما زال في الدنيا له شَرَفٌ
إذ كان يُعزى إلى يحيى وينتَسِبُ
