1. He praised the determination when it enabled him to achieve his goal
And the journey decreed that he blame his staying

2. And his ambition prevented him from the weakness which
Had handed over the reins to laziness

3. So now the breeze does not hope, when it wanders
At dawn, to convey greetings to the beloved

4. No longer does he long for a land
That would remind him of passion and infatuation

5. For he has rested from love and its captivity
And relaxed from the reproach of his blamer

6. It is enough for the lover of passion and humiliation
To enjoy his pillow and illness

7. And to see that a phantom is the greatest gift
If the eyelid happens upon it in his sleep

8. And a concern that the ignorant call madness
For the ignorant is a follower of his delusions

9. How many lovers have been humiliated after arrogance
Out of ignorance, so passion seated him and stayed him

10. I am not one who trembles with fervor whenever
The beloved sways with coquetry

11. Or pretends to be conceited with kissing his cheek
On the day of farewell when he uncovered his veil

12. The distance was not made bearable for anyone
Who still casts arrows into the heart

13. My homeland did not bore me from my long stay
Tell me, when did kinship bore its sword?

14. But I stripped myself of determination
And cut off the stingy times' garment

15. And travelled a journey of one who excuses
A heart with wishing and softens its afflictions

16. And I knew that drought does not frighten one
Whose right hand has become Ibn Al-Zubayr's cloud

17. The writers boast of a master from him
Whose servant Abdul Hamid does not accept

18. Koushi lined the garden, so greet it with life
And make its meaning revolve around you

19. You are almost astonished when you see its structure
And you almost get drunk when you hear its speech

20. The line tells of the branch when it is fruitful
And when you recite it, you tell of its doves

21. He brought it to you in the month of fasting, and nothing
Came or tired of the souls' stinginess and their fasting

22. And were it not for that, your father would not have travelled or
Revealed to the determination of An-Nawa his feet

23. Does the well-mannered remain in his homelands
When no money remains for him present or future?
