1. The heart is full of fear of parting,
And patience is weak from intense passion.

2. I could have concealed this love,
If it was possible for lovers to hide their love.

3. The lover hides his love from others,
Unless proof of it shows on his face.

4. Parting came, Abu Al-Husain, so it brought me joy,
My tears betrayed me and my fortitude failed me.

5. We were together and you were together, time arranged
Its moments for us while our enviers were enraged.

6. Now fate has frowned, though our fate was always
Treacherous, and our times have changed.

7. Who can have times and eras in order for him?
The mind of the wise is protected from the impossible.

8. Why did you not stop for a lover for a moment,
So he may complain of his burning, and his sorrows eased?

9. He hopes for consolation for the agony he endures,
If there was someone like you to console him.

10. And if his passion distressed him, and sadness revealed it,
Are secrecy and revelation equal?

11. Men of knowledge, dignitaries, princes,
Ministers and the Sultan mourned you.

12. After you, O Ali, achievements will remain
Whose existence will be guaranteed by time.

13. This felicity, whenever you adorned it,
Minds were fascinated by the magic of your rhetoric.

14. How many sayings have you made elegant,
So caravans competed in transmitting them!

15. You left them as a legacy for the brothers of purity
To pour upon them, if passions aroused.

16. The gifted writer is he who said rhetoric,
For you are the gifted writer.

17. Or when the doctor hurried you away from this life
To meadows adorned with profits.

18. You hastened obediently without hesitation,
For bodies fear doctors.

19. Did longing for it move you, or did longing for you
And mercy and affection move it?
