1. Alas! I do not seek favor from your door
Shall I seek favor through deceit when alone?

2. The richness of wealth, when I familiarized with its harm
I found every place inhabited ruined

3. So God has enabled one whose chest and neck are free
From shackles and diseases that bind

4. God guided us to walk His straight path
Blocking for us every difficult affair, smoothing the roads

5. I used to have no concern but complaining of Him
Today I have no concern but thanking Him

6. What was impossible to attain from ambitions
Is now in my hands, attained

7. May blessings continue for you as they lasted with you
As for imagining more, that cannot be

8. You immortalized your generosity among my family
So the life mentioned me and your eternity gave me safety

9. As for authority, its good deed is well-known
And I will not accept it from your door as a substitute

10. The authority of the door, you do not distance me from it
And anything other than it, he who is delegated has been dismissed

11. So do not burden me with patience upon patience
Nor burden it to pour honey

12. My weapon for war, an opinion has disabled it
An opinion in opinion is an ornament resembling retirement

13. So my talk is not with glorifying polite phrases
Nor my writing to people with "from" and "to"

14. Nor is my heart's pebble under its burden
From the worries of Zayd and Amr, bearing mountains

15. And if the sea would grant, I would face the dust and not
Conceal that my palm has wetness for it

16. I swear if its waves cast pearls
And if its salt one day turned to honey

17. I would not stretch my palm to it haughtily
Nor raise my gaze to it lazily

18. If it were not for our Master's abodes that
When God descends well-being upon, it lodges

19. Then our worldly ambitions, when they carried
Their weapons, would avoid me as a brave hero

20. And I would be slow while hopes are flashing
The slowness of a coward when he senses alarm

21. Until it is said, "As for man, of haste
So why does this one not hasten to ambitions?"

22. And I did not stay up when misfortune furrowed its brows
Furrowing prolonged brows or pouring brows

23. And I was from a self on the ascent of Saturn
Even if fortune told in its tardiness Saturn's tale

24. God has enriched us with our Master and His bounty
From generosity so do not mention stinginess to me

25. Gifts that delighted his eyes so we have no duty
Except to indulge in its gardens, that occupies us

26. How my heart came with preferred needs
Then I left with them at ease, all together

27. And God lightened from my heart what it carried
Of them in my right hand of grace though heavy

28. So I do not lack a hand if I came to it, it gave
And I returned from it, noble of face, nothing offered

29. He gave and did not promise benefit and hastened it
And where is he who promised benefit but did not hasten?

30. O you who resemble the noble, far are his virtues
And I have not slipped so do not attribute slips to me

31. People give if they give when asked
And where, where is he who gives when not asked?

32. You have filled the safety of the poor, my hands
The lowest of your virtues fills hopes

33. To the extent you created refusal in their natures
So we have not lacked you for enriching elevation

34. You became, if you said take what you request
He refuses, and requests taking but does not accept

35. Therefore it did not befit me if I said you resemble him
And where is the likeness of a torrential rain to a drizzle?

36. Virtues have set out to people with intention
And did not burden them in its pursuit with saddling

37. And he is not wedded a virgin bride of his
Except he pours upon her adornment and gowns

38. How many mute tongues his hand has spoken
And made scholars from the ignorant

39. And poetry regained its Ignorance from him
To the extent the looping of injustice does not loop

40. So rise, heel, and prisoner from its verses
Above the words of creation an example

41. Wear that which adorns the life its blossoming
This one who is tailored in the pattern of generosity

42. We came to you riding calamities we are delighted with
And if we rode to what delights you the smooth

43. So and so threatened us in it with killing, and if
We were skulls in his palms he would not have killed

44. So I became not fearing the predator in the afternoon
And I sleep not fearing the lurking night

45. And there came the cheek of a wind I did not care for
Rather, I almost sipped from it a sip of broth

46. I do not fear a woman in his grip, a woman
For the sword, but a man who assaults with it a man

47. Whoever was accustomed in his slightest adventures
To plunge into seas, do not mention to him fear

48. So esteem the self in a mention that immortalizes it
For I do not see that mention, if selves are valuable, as expensive

49. Come to praise with the generous good news, you will find
Grass, if the good news contents its meadow, green

50. You have bound me inwardly, in you a prisoner
You released outwardly from you an arguer
