1. When dawn's longing was fulfilled
Tears of pearl obstructed it

2. Yearning, with an inflamed heart
How to stay with the blaze of its fire?

3. The sea of tears wave in anguish
Where is salvation hoped for its drown?

4. Sipping the drink of grief from Hajar
Not softened by her longing

5. His beauty captivates thoughts with its elegance
His beauty enchants souls with its grace

6. Eyes are fettered when he appears to a watcher
Eyes cannot refrain from staring at him

7. To the moon his cheek is like the shine of its light
To musk his breath like its scent's diffusion

8. His glances intoxicate thoughts as though they
Drank from youth a cup of wine

9. Thirsty for a mouth they cannot reach
Except by a glimpse of its smile

10. What harm if his enamored slaves weep
If he is tender to the state of his weak one?

11. My patience is not obeying him
Nor am I solid like stone

12. The cooing of doves evokes desire's response
So it provoked anguish with its longing

13. It wept torrents, startled by the separation
Woe to the companion of separation!

14. And my weeping is right, for I have not
Fulfilled the full rights owed my Master

15. I was heedless in days of youth now gone
Distracted, violating its innocence

16. Grey hairs came, scolding the prohibitors
Had I been deterred, I'd have shunned its looseness

17. It suffices me the regret of one who erred
My sigh reaches his burden with its sob

18. I reject what desire ravaged in my youth
And I disown what I craved of my Master

19. I repeat my complaints to him in humility
Hoping acceptance will enable my reach

20. So I awake from the drunkenness of passion
Like the dawn annulling night with its beams

21. Had I intended piety and accompanied it
And walked choosing the straight path

22. I'd have gained from it benefits and gems
Flaunted, transcending in its market

23. To the lords of hearts, for they are of the party
Who obtained acceptance and his fellowship

24. They stood while people slept, so their light
Ripped through darkness with its shine and rise

25. And they felt intimacy with their Beloved, so they have
Good news of sincere virtue in its verification

26. I fell short of them when they surpassed in effort
To the precedent virtue over the followed

27. Were it not for my perceiving glimmers of their light
Reviving the heart with its life and beams

28. And hopes I entertain from their souls
The cause of the soul's vigor, their good nature

29. I'd have been seduced by my terrible crimes
Fearing which my heart is a trembling ally

30. And I have hopeful pleadings I prepared
As provision against the days' straits

31. My love and my praise of Ahmad the Guide
The people's attainment in verifying him

32. Most sublime of beings in station and lineage
Of Hashim, the pure carpenter, the eminent

33. The truth he made plain after its concealment
And religion he systematized in its separation

34. He banished the misguidance of an unjust person
Relying on his attributes and curses

35. Glory to the One who sent him to us a mercy
Guiding, guiding virtue through his success

36. And miracles appeared verifying his message
And his essence with marvels fitting

37. Like the baby in his speaking, the calf in
Its mooing, the moon in its splitting

38. And fire when its light extinguished it
And intense water rendered sweet from his saliva

39. And sustenance was little but increased by his blessings
Sufficing armies with his dates and crumbs

40. And springs of palm water from his signs
And the safety of rocks as he walked by them

41. And the palm tree when he called it, it walked to him
With speed in its roots and branches

42.
And the earth he saw it folded for him

43. So what's in it he saw as near as its smoothness
And the sheep's forearm spoke to him

44. The tongue's eloquence and clarity
And he threw pebbles at his enemies with a handful

45. So they fled like ghosts scared witless
And upon him Quran verses descended

46. Recited in the loftiness of his might
So he sipped the cup of pure love

47. Glory to the One who gave it to him and made him sip
He attained praise and obtained it by his ascension

48. Transcending heaven's spheres by piercing them
And how many signs he has from His Lord

49. And care and attention to his rights
O best of messengers with his God

50. O protected sublime over His creatures
I pinned my hopes on your stature some

51. And an aim is not unsuccessful in its pinning
And I tied the rope of my reliance a pillar

52. To cling to its strength and bond
If I become seized by my sin, I still

53. Hope by your care to see release
The market of my affairs declined since I sought

54. Your door, fulfilling its access and rise
And my heart yearns while in foreignhood

55. For your brilliant tomb, when I see it in morning
Its burning increases when the beloved's cheek

56. Inclines with a lean in its softness
And I see the grey hairs of age has withered

57. And my life passing, fraying it
And I fear I will meet my end before fulfilling

58. My wish, by the arrow of death's plunge
So when will I fold my saddlebags and leave

59. Having reached the resident abode and its pearls?
And rub my cheeks in soil which tomorrow

60. Is like musk in its scent's diffusion
And repeat my singing and chanting of praise

61. In the wonderful rhyme of my soul and tender one
Until I enthrall the lovers, enraptured

62. Like a branch dripping morning dew on its pliant one
And greeting of peace, deliver my intercessor

63. And praise's discourse, both new and old
And to the eminent and the sublime and his minister

64. His friend and brother of guidance, the discerning one
From me, greetings to them like flowers in
