1. The companion woke from the intoxication of wine
And greeted the tunes with praise and thanks

2. And the cooing of doves aroused his passion for his beloved
To whom he entrusted his companions in innocent love

3. And the flashing of lightning stirred him
As the hands of passion turned him over embers

4. And the Hejazi caravan passed him by so he followed
Greeting it with yearning from where it did not know

5. So O guide of the caravan by the caravan depart
Slow down and forget the past, be hopeful of my reward

6. And walk with me to a troop that lost my affection
Oh, if only I knew who made their estrangement lawful to them

7. I was patient so how sweet was my patience with them
Yet with them it was more bitter than patience

8. And I deafened my crying eyes, has there come
A time other than it in life to try man?

9. And I endured what if it were upon people generally
They would be divested of reproach upon reproach

10. By every slender, swaying glance, Harut's eye
Takes away resolve reciting magic to us

11. So fly away O doves of the valley, our hearts
Have been invaded by the armies of love, white and brown

12. And O one who shames the branches, gentle of figure
Alluring, but his heart is indeed hard

13. He punishes me with your distance for loyalty
Like the obstinate sinner is punished for his crime

14. And they said: we witnessed the battle of Badr, audacious ones
Why did they not see me with you on the day of Badr?

15. I turned away from the unjust with forgiveness and often
I overcame enemies with the sharp, cutting sword

16. Lo! In the path of God the passion of a lover
When hardship intensifies, is certain of ease

17. So O you who pretends in all he claims to be devoted
To love, like the ostrich in the dreadful, empty desert

18. Leave people to what you are sincerely devoted to God
And if you meet injustice, then seek victory in the aid of the victor

19. Name the son of Abdullah who came with guidance
And Allah praised him in the decisive scripture

20. So honor, from an ancestry to Muhammad
Nobility has continued, from him to the noble elders

21. He is the spiritual guide, ocean of knowledge, dutiful and pious
Who quenched thirst for knowledge from his noble fathers

22. Precise in the gates of truth, Hammam obtained mysteries
Through which the secrets were delighted, from the world of mystery

23. And in the holy, lofty station, his position
Contained self-elevation, ennobled in worth

24. For you, O God, the one who led the field of his grace
And guided this garment of prose and verse to him

25. You are unlike one who boastfully gives pearls to the ocean
Or else like one who gives jewels to the sea

26. And O master sincerely devoted to God
In private and public, his secret he has kept pure

27. The call to God's house on a night you completed pilgrimage
A night whose reward recited the night of decree

28. So you declared until you attained all wishes at Mina
And circled the house of God, expanded of heart

29. And when you attained success from every aspiration
In the good company of the Chosen, the good tidings

30. You walked with the best companions, every glorious one
Towards the sanctuary, like the full moon among brilliant stars

31. And when we sensed the nearness of your fragrance
We walked with the breeze of meeting, the scent of perfume

32. You arrived, by God the house of good news!
And I cheered with the tidings, ecstatic with joy

33. And with you, Beirut became plentiful, wholesome land
As it greeted with fellowship, smiling maw

34. So I did not cease to be O son of the virtuous, like the Kaaba
Crowds circle around it, sanctified by mention

35. And the Creator has continued praising the chronicler
For your accepted pilgrimage, with praise and thanks
