1. Take good tidings from me about the beloved,
And say we related it with attribution from Umar.

2. And transmit the conversations that made me complain,
About my youth, about the paths of my tears, about my night vigil.

3. And abandon the topics of my blamers, for I have composed
About separation some false allegations whose rule is separation.

4. And transcribe the verified narrations of my love stories, for I have transcribed
The rules of the law of love from the previous age.

5. And transmit from the beloved gazelle a trace for me,
When you transmit from Al-Abbas any trace.

6. With the spirit I desired his inclination,
So my thoughts about him have not ceased to be in danger.

7. When the critic passes by, he undresses, kills, and unveils me,
My dissolution, my destruction, my exposure, and my confusion.

8. I complain so I shed the gems of my tears to him,
So he smiles at me, stopping the scattering of pearls.

9. My face becomes rosy when I look at him,
My cheek reddened from confusion and from being swept away.

10. As if in the cheek is what is in the heart of fire,
With more blackness of heart and sight added to it.

11. The gazelle glanced, so he shot my heart, striking me
With an arrow, so the heart sees without a bow or string.

12. So who will heal the wound of the hopeless one, bewildered in pain,
From the arrows of the glance or from the arrows of fate?

13. O magician of the eyelashes, how you sicken me with magic,
I am bewitched with wink, O star of magic!

14. Your slender waist, my master, releases me,
Since you have prolonged estrangement, so be concise.

15. By the gentleness and languor in your arm,
And the flirtation and tenderness in your eye,

16. And the nectar and infatuation in your mouth,
And the wine and intoxication in your lips.

17. Have mercy on a sick one who has no cure,
O wounder of the heart, except the ointment of seeing you.

18. I yearn for a sip and a glance, but it prevents me,
So the heart thirsts between roses and breasts.

19. O agony of passion, if my hopes are denied me
Over my heart, you leave nothing and spare nothing.

20. I do not forget, I do not forget when he visited me at night,
And the leaves of the creeping plants had quarreled in the trees,

21. And his shining teeth smiled, so I recited to him:
O watcher of the lightning, wake the sleeper of the night vigil.

22. So he got up, walking quickly, and the sun of comfort was in his hand,
O you who saw the sun shine in the hand of the moon!

23. The divinity of the beauty of his appearance showed
In a form the worshipers of images were confused about.

24. If he met the women who were infatuated with passion,
They would say, by God, this is not one of humans!

25. He came to me cheerful, so I said, Welcome
To the tender branch of flexibility and youth.

26. And he was clad in green garments, so he reminded me
Of the green meadows adorned with the verdant.

27. The chosen one of piety and superiority, their master,
The elect chosen one of the Lord of the Throne from Mudar.

28. Muhammad in essence, praiseworthy in attributes, for him
From praises a number that cannot be comprehended.

29. An ocean of knowledge, but without shores for it,
A towering mountain of patience, but a cat has never passed it.

30. From firmness their feet were rooted, and their courage
Soared above the zealousness of the sparkling stars.

31. Manifesting the truth until there is no concealment with it,
Supported by evidence and traces.

32. By God, hearing has not heard one with insight
Higher of hand than him in hearing and sight.

33. The guidance of his guidance is like water extinguishing what
The wicked ignited in hearts of sparks.

34. My master, by him the lips of Damietta smiled,
Attaining wishes and reaching might and loftiness.

35. By him the nights became pure without any filth,
And those days secure without any caution.

36. You quenched thirst, O lips of Damietta, from cups of bliss,
And your rain clouds poured from zeal and downpour.

37. Gardens of virtue, when I spend the night remembering them
My hearing is delighted as my sight yearns for them.

38. If time allows me one day to see them,
No sin of time remains except a forgiven sin.

39. It gave life to landmarks, spreading knowledge from it,
So if the rain announced good tidings, it would spare it from rain.

40. O Doha, in its shade a filled group never ceased
Picking ripe fruit above flowers.

41. And a brilliant star they are guided by its rising,
Transcending sun and moon.

42. A waterer of the garden of virtue you planted,
No defect occurred in its ripe fruit.

43. O inheritor of knowledge and name, rise in nobility
And take pride, for none is prouder than the proud.

44. Your efforts shined in studying the sciences, so how many
Summaries are transmitted from you and full transmissions.

45. Surely the arts you established in your youth
Were guidance for the elders of the age in old age.

46. To God belong the concerns, he exerted his efforts
In obeying God, not in obeying humans.

47. Pure in conscience, but his conduct
Is musk - if it is lost, nothing is lost with travel.

48. How different between one who walks among them happily
And one who walks among them secretly by night!

49. If the young pigeons called my pens for his praise,
They would comply, hastening to the task.

50. Their scratching, when I hear it in its freshness,
Is sweeter to me than the melodies of flute and strings.

51. I bought from it all rhymes as precious gems
In the market of my thoughts without any cheating or gems.

52. For one who raised the price of poetry in his praises
Until it became expensive, and he avoids exorbitance in price.

53. Honor one related to praise, earning,
From God commissioned, by God supported.

54. The fragrance of his praise emanates in his sermons
Like the diffusion of musk between spacious mounts.

55. One whom God distinguished with ancient love, as
The love of nomads and city dwellers united upon him.

56. Sweet waterhole, embraced in mannerisms in
The light of virtues, magnificent in glory and venture.

57. He is the zealous one whose zeal in religion
Surpassed the edge of the sharp sword.

58. So spread over him the banner of praise and invoke for him
Continued increase of grace and life.

59. You will find an ocean of knowledge with an ocean of piety,
And attain at the confluence of the two seas pearls.

60. And string together necklaces of praise and scatter his glories
In prose and verse.

61. And say I fell short, and conceal my stumble,
And pardon incapacity, and grant the pardon of the Capable.

62. And excuse the inadequacy of a lad whose talent dried up,
O best proposer of excuses for one who makes excuses.

63. The inadequacy of my technical composition, I drafted it
To you, surpassing technicality and inadequacy.

64. But the jealousy of time has hindered
My intention, and time is jealous.

65. To you from the words of poetry a young girl
Runs with it to the poetry of passion.

66. It protects you, may God protect you, hoping
For your acceptance, O my sun and O my moon!

67. So submit to the star of dawn, it rose
A gazelle of the horizon grazing the narcissus of dawn.
