1. I complained of her love, so she blamed me and turned away
The two matters overcame my own in her

2. I remained steadfast, with no stratagem but that
I see remembrance befall me, so I yearn for remembrance

3. Dazzled by her eyes, I became enamored with love
And nothing enchanted me in their magic but magic itself

4. And I love in her the sun, the moon, and the one
Who makes lovers resemble the sun and the moon

5. And nothing led me on except her aloofness and her glance
For both swords were sheathed in my chest

6. She appeared to us in the palace one day, and has not ceased
To flap my soul after that over the palace

7. And she left while ignoring me, and between our hearts
Was the distance between union and separation

8. So I divided my heart for her and said to my reproacher
She gets her share of what you divided, and I get my share

9. And I spent my days wastefully, as my hand was generous
With my money in passion for her, and with my life

10. And when we met and she turned away indifferently
As the gazelle is wary of the clutching falcon

11. I gripped my heart in my hand, and the hand of passion
Tossed it between the ribs over embers

12. And I said to her, "Keep affection for an hour
Perhaps we will have a day in the future, though we know not"

13. So she said, "Is there for a poet any day but the feast day,
You have your feast day, O moon of poetry"

14. So I stood up, seeing my intention, and did not stop
In my reflection until dawn shone from my reflection

15. And I have from the fragments in its treasures
Various necklaces of prose and verse

16. Glory, if the people do not seize praising you
No tongue will speak praising you that flows

17. For you have become needless of any praiser
With your magnificent traces and splendid days

18. And you have bestowed upon me this poetry, as if
I picked up my precious soul from the shore of the sea

19. And my praise was nothing but your attributes
Which are the flowers, if my praise exudes like perfume

20. And indeed, every saying is cheap, even if it's dear,
For the king of a land with soil of ashes

21. The Nile flowed in it, mimicking your palm's Nile
And is there in existence one who equals the sea with a river?

22. They were deluded by it until they left it
A trustee who shows him how to spend with measure

23. And the Nile in Egypt is nothing but its heart's blood
If they preserve it, the soul will remain in Egypt

24. It overflows in the era of Abbas with what you see
Of knowledge that was from the news of Hudur

25. O noble son of kings, no hardship is complained of in your time
And this day was the opener of ease

26. The days shine through you as if they are
The lining of nights meeting the dawn

27. And the day you assumed the throne they inscribed
The heights of this people in the annals of pride

28. They saw you a youth above kings in resolve
And far is the difference between sparrows and the eagle

29. With Uthman's wisdom, Haydar's awe,
Abu Hafs' justice, and Abu Bakr's decisiveness

30. So you remained hoped for in your prophet, congratulating
The continuance of the full moon's glory among the brilliant stars
