1. His separation was prolonged, so his patience failed him,
And it became hard on him, so his fate is merciless.

2. By Allah, the delight of his eyes was never false to him,
And his heart still loves only you, pleasing him.

3. The slain is excused for his love of her, but he who
Has lived after parting from her, what is his excuse?

4. And he says, "No, I did not abandon, but when you built up,
Does it not resemble the separation of someone suffering?"

5. My time with the Imam has been long, and the causes
Of a promised time were cut off, almost erasing his memory.

6. Obstacles kept fighting me, hindering him from me,
And extending for me a long period of patience.

7. And Allah decides what He wills with His goodness
From where you know not and He knows His command.

8. A king whom the kings humbled themselves to for his glory
Forcibly, and his sea overflowed the streams.

9. It is as if the veil were lifted for one looking
At the dawn of a night whose sunrise flamed.

10. And you see him in the night of battle as if he were
A fire brandishing its flames and stirring them.

11. And when he appears, he fills the eyes with awe,
So they remain stealing glances at him and delighting in him.

12. And it is as if a blade flickers between his clothes,
Its mark glittering on both sides.

13. And the fire of war rages under his falcon,
And death among the ranks of horsemen is its embers.

14. And you see him listen in the fray with his palm
To stars, pulling the stars along in the fray.
