1. He brought the cups that unveiled the darkness of the ceiling
A full moon I was tasked with protecting, far from any burden

2. It shone as it rose radiantly going in comfort
As if it were the sun settling in the abode of honor

3. The fragrance of its blossoming faded as it was in his hand
Like a rose in the palm of a gentle plucker

4. A full moon that donned from its rising places
And leaned in fine silks and fabrics

5. O April clouds, water the vines with vines
For in love there is glory beyond pearls and shells

6. Great is the difference between a pearl that left intoxicated
And moistened the edges, and a pearl not intoxicated

7. I haven't forgotten a night of intimacy, hugging
A beloved, the joining of laam to alif

8. I felt safe from the mischief of my time under its protection
And whoever takes refuge in the covenant of love will not fear

9. And I found relief from estrangement there
After I had long been estranged

10. I took power over it with a spear from its cloaks
And a sword from the gazelles of its gentle eyes

11. By God, the pleasure of union I attained was good
Perfumed with beauty and clothed in fragrance

12. When I drew its garments to my chest
Their delicacy almost melted from the luxury

13. O you who excel in description, if you throw an arrow, then describe
For us the beauty of this firm, stately youth

14. Or if you one day attribute a master due to nobility
Then attribute to its endpoint the masters of Najaf

15. And specify the progeny of the honor of religion, whom
The houses of highness, glory and honor were ennobled by them

16. A people who stand in for all people
With the comforts of glory and those who remain on the sidelines

17. Those who, in the face of benevolence, say no extravagance
In good one day, just as there is no good in extravagance

18. They narrated the hadith of noble character from a father from a father
And a successor narrates it from a predecessor

19. They are the guiding stars in a dark night
And they are the seas of dew taken by one who draws them

20. Among them is Hussein, may God make his joy last
And what description befits the benevolence of Hussein?

21. He is the noble one who surpassed all in nobility
Ask whoever you wish, he will acknowledge

22. How much beauty he has in creation, all of it beautiful
Shining like a starry pearl in a ceiling

23. So creation from his creation is in wondrous charm
And from his traits in a garden of bliss

24. The dew, guidance and glory were cloaked around him
And through him religion was sheltered

25. He strove for the ultimate goal which
The people stopped at, but he surpassed without stopping

26. Thus he achieved what his peers achieved and contained
What diverged from a predecessor or successor
