1. Let me forget the memory of the slender beauties
And the lamenting of a drawing destined for decay

2. And I view for it a vast horizon as a response
Where a soaring bird has stretched its wings

3. It moves by night and by day and its movement
By day is like its movement in the darkness

4. And when it speeds in its night
Like a shooting star piercing the gloom

5. And it sometimes appears like a shining star
Suspended between the Pleiades and the ground

6. The horizon surrounds it on all sides
And it is like a dot for the letter noon in the horizon

7. It spread out on the body of the air and was cloaked
From the sky in a blue gown

8. So sometimes from east to west
And other times from west to east

9. And your moment on earth, its sister
Flows in the winding paths

10. It races the wind so it remains behind it
And it raced its shadows which were not outrun

11. Like snakes behind their prey they ran
Wanting to catch up but could not reach

12. And its ribs have yearned for a beloved
Whose separation I could not endure

13. An age with its miracles has been generous to us
With knowledge, arts and advancement

14. Human thought in it stands humbled
Before a painful reality that is hard to believe

15. Its greatest miracle, as you see
Is creating a personality that is unmatched

16. He, he is the brilliant Al-Tahami
Who has won the supremacy among the elite

17. Pasha, even kings esteem his position
So they may win a more fitting station

18. Through him, his age has become more glorious
Than all the past and future ages

19. Glory has crowned him with the crown of might
And he sits on the throne of every heart

20. With a shining appearance whose light
Has risen in the universe like a sun on the horizon

21. When he appears in his majestic awe
Which heart in his presence does not palpitate?

22. The heart of a needy person hoping and fearful
And the heart of a rebel fearful of separation

23. You stand before him alone
As if you are before an army

24. Whoever compares others to him is like
One who compares stars to a shining full moon

25. What can I say about a generous one, if
Anyone were called out in east or west

26. Who of you has not been covered by his blessings
All would fall silent and not speak a word

27. Or it was said whoever drowned in the sea of his generosity
Would shout, all of us have drowned

28. What can I say about a generous one who has shamed
The torrent before him so it did not flow

29. As if before being asked, in generosity
He is a door to the sky flowing in abundance

30. Positions did not avail like virtues do
And gold did not avail him like leaves do

31. The fragrance of musk spreads when he is mentioned
Especially when mentioned with manners

32. Rather, every musk diffusing fragrance, without
Mentioning him, did not exude aroma

33. A man of ambition adorned by humility
Like a plateau adorned with delicate flowers

34. When you sit with him conversing
You are like flowers blossoming

35. So many witticisms that make
Minds work like aged vine

36. Wisdom after wisdom
In everything he says and pronounces

37. As if Luqman has become hidden
Under his eloquent agreeable tongue

38. And his face shines more every time
You glance at it when it beams

39. Since you cannot withstand his awe
To see him manifest before you

40. A glance, if it sees him, recoils, dazzled
By the radiance of his shining face

41. Majesty walked before him humbled
So which person of status before him did not bow?

42. He is the pinnacle of glory submitting
For he is glory's differentiating crown

43. When hearts in their passion disagree
They in love of its loftiness concur

44. Seeing him is heartening for an arid heart
As if he is the direction of vitality

45. The ages have not created his equal in
His lofty affair that none can attain

46. First he would call me a liar, and then bring one
If I said in what I said I am not truthful

47. He whitened the face of his age with generosity and glory
So he is the pride of west and east

48. He has insight into the unseen, so
Whatever he prophesies, you can trust

49. His excellent traits have frustrated the endeavor
Of the abundant poetry of beautiful subtlety

50. Alas, the she-camel's gait cannot count them
And if it tried to count them, it would not endure

51. But my poetry flourishes more by his praise
Like a necklace enhanced by the beauty of a neck

52. By Allah, were it not for him I would remain
Mute, renouncing poetry in discontent

53. The market of poetry would be dead without him
So no noble person of eloquent words would spend

54. His benevolence has overwhelmed me, for he
Without whom my lute would not shine

55. My Master, O You whose favors rained on me
In my despair and confusion

56. By Allah, how and when can I
Fulfill a debt to You, I bend my neck

57. No, no, I cannot endure it even if
I exhausted my refined poetry in praising You

58. Even if on my cheek I wrote it and
Instead of ink, the blackness of my eyelids

59. Bestow abundance on me, my Master
Yes, yes and may You be the best giver

60. If their praise is privileged with good tongues
Then praising him is privileged with good fragrance

61. Or if praised in words for them
Then by action, he makes praise real

62. Every great person who will come or passed
Or present, his glory did not attain

63. O lion of Africa and its master
And pride of its generous, foremost people

64. Whoever is not generous of palm should be
Eloquent of speech, generous man

65. The son of Za'ida has become surplus
And Dulaf, a man of dulaf in the paths

66. The fortunate Master, son of the fortunate Master
Son of the fortunate Master
