1. She appeared white like the full moon
And embodied perfect beauty

2. She broke the lover's promise and every covenant
To a singing girl at the edge of the thickets

3. I did not know loyalty to the covenant
Except through discipline from the glorious protector

4. The imam of the prudent, the exalted one
And crown of the generous among the generous

5. Arib obtained a brilliant mind
And a memory sharper than swords

6. He was nourished on the milk of knowledge as a child
And reached maturity before weaning

7. A poet who picks the pearls of meanings
Therefore he dives into the depths of every ocean

8. And strings them into necklaces of virtues
To become like one adorned at the baths

9. The thirsty quench their thirst with the water of his literature
As the rain clouds quench the thirst of the thirsty

10. He gifted me a jewel and it became
Like my hidden love for him in the dunes

11. So, O excellent doer, you have conquered my heart
With your friendship and care for the reins
