1. I raised my worries to the son of Abu Bakr
Saeed, and how unaware you are of his great wisdom
١. رَفَعْتُ دَوَاعِي الْهَمِّ لاِبْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ
سَعِيدٍ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مِنْ حَكَمٍ بَرِّ
2. That he may save me from what its dispute necessitated
With his virtuous, fragrant kindness
٢. لِيُنْقِذَنِي مِمَّا اقْتَضَاهُ خِصَامُهَا
بِعَارِفَةٍ مِنْ بِرِّهِ النَّافِحِ الْعِطْرِ
3. And he may extinguish the fire of passion in me with a drop
That kills ardor from his abundant, pouring kindness
٣. وَيُطْفِئُ نَارَ الْوَجْدِ مِنِّي بِقَطْرَةٍ
تُمِيتُ الجَوَى مِنْ فَضْلِهِ الْوَابِلِ الْقَطْرِ
