1. A heart not consoled by wine
A body not parted from sickness

2. Eyelids that sleep ulcerated
Dripping blood when night falls

3. A belle whose voice pierced my heart
With a sound that pleases the lovesick heart

4. I was preoccupied with the memory of Ubla from others
And I said to my friend, this is the purpose

5. And in the land of Hejaz are the tents of people
Where what is lawful to unite is unlawful

6. And between the domes of that neighborhood is a cheek
An unveiled one with no barriers

7. Under her scarf she has eyes
Sick, though their eyelids are filled with kohl

8. Between her lips is fragrant musk
And camphor mixed with wine

9. Why should the full moon be perfect
And why should the branch have a tall stature

10. I delight in her love and ecstasy
And whoever falls in love, delights in passion

11. O Ubla, the enemies have triumphed
With my estrangement, now relieved and asleep

12. And I have faced in my journey such matters
That would turn white one who in the cradle is an infant

13. And after hardship I have found ease
And a king that speech cannot encompass

14. And a sultan over all the lands
His soldiers and time are his servants

15. His generosity overflows from his palms
We know not, is it an ocean or a cloud?

16. Over him the sun has shed its crown
So no darkness covers his features

17. His gems are the stars, and in him is a moon
The least of the attributes of his image is perfection

18. The Neshe clan are his council seats
Above them and the heavens are his tents

19. And were it not for his fear in every region
The swords would not be sheathed

20. All people are one body and he is the soul
By him the joints and bones come alive

21. Toward him from every valley pray
The kings of earth and he is their imam

22. So stay, O Master of the two burdens, for the
Length of days as long as the pigeons moan
