1. Is the rope of sand before parting severed,
Or are you with wisdom after ignorance excused?

2. Yearning cannot bring together if a house parts us,
And the like thereof in the vicinity of houses deserted.

3. It healed us while being a disease, if it afflicts us,
As the accustomed recovered through the wine intoxicated.

4. No garden among the gardens of sorrow blossomed,
With different colored growths embroidered.

5. One day with the sweetest scent it spreads,
After sleep when the perfume is loved.

6. An intimacy I do not forget while tears flow,
As if it is a pearl on the cheek stored.

7. When I saw them, their beauty was perfect,
I believed what they claimed while parting is risky.

8. The brother of Qathura sings of them cautiously,
As if he, with all the people, is broken.

9. As if their white forelocks challenge twisted date palms,
A palm tree with two eyes bent and fruitful.

10. Necks overwhelmed them, quenched by a cold brook,
Or a bay from the sea recklessly gushing.

11. Can a letter reaching me bring good news,
Words dripping from its script faint?

12. Behind it ewes running, their crisis,
Having been touched by the nightfall expulsion.

13. They ram the people with the open space of the plain when
They took shade from the sun in the shadows spinning.

14. Until when the Pleiades rose and moved,
And when they migrated with packing up return.

15. They said “move aside,” so they touched the ground and rolled over,
A shadow with a piercing south wind howling through it.

16. They remained as if a bird perched over them
Howling when storms uncover it.

17. To the direction of the wind a deprived side,
And a side with palms of people repaired.

18. Until when they cooled off, they stood to ewes,
As if they are the calves of heavy camels.

19. Beasts startled like crumbs of ice, frightened
By prodding with a stick, paralysis and dispersion,

20. Until the night watered the watering of jinn, so it plunged
Into its blackness when the total darkness and the cold set in.

21. It covered the Pleiades with the total darkness, so they mixed
Both in the blackness of the night drowned.

22. Indeed, Ali is auspicious, his leadership
Through good deeds among acts well-known.

23. The in-law of the Prophet and best of people proudly
So everyone who envies him through pride is pretentious.

24. The most pure prayed with the unlettered first of them
Before the return and the Lord of mankind is all sufficient.

25. Withstanding the tyrants of polytheisms, striking them
Until they straightened and the religion of God is victorious.

26. With justice you stood trustee when those
Of passions opposed it and the falsifiers and liars.

27. O best of those who wore a slipper, having a foot
After the Prophet while rebellion is deserted.

28. Your Lord gave you a merit with no cessation,
Where and when can days make change?
