1. The wady with sways of its sand dunes shone,
And the wings of darkness fluttered while its veils roamed around.

2. Its thunders rumbled in those prairies,
And its clouds wept over those hills.

3. I was sleepless because of its continuous lightening,
While its rain poured down and its clouds spread.

4. Until the blonde morning became visible
Chasing its dark night that was escaping.

5. And the mouth of springs smiled
As the morning breeze tickled and played with it.

6. The night passed by the garden’s plants
Caressing them again and again.

7. And the face of earth appeared bright after
It became covered with darkened aspects.

8. Luxuriance clothed it with splendid vegetation,
So its barren tract of land and watercourses returned.

9. As Al-Mustansir Billah brought back
The system of glories when its battalions were few.

10. A leader adorned with the religion’s glories
That the traces of the Prophet ornamented his shoulders.

11. He is the brilliant, no mere lightning
With no lights or planets revolving around him.

12. When the grey Sunnah lacked its rays
He brought abundant showers and poured its stars.

13. The light of his forehead revived the lightning’s light
As his talents adorned the valleys of heavy rain.

14. His wills by which if he did not fight
The pillar of the religion would have collapsed.

15. He sees the state of the time and its people,
So no misfortunes are feared to afflict him.

16. His intelligence suffices him in any problem,
And his experience in matters makes him extremely prudent.

17. He contained the shoots of precedence when he was young,
And his achievements towered over the stars.

18. The life was adorned by him and honored
To have a debaser of pleasures as its raiser.

19. If I declare the name of the Imam as Caliph,
And raise the status of the carpenter, the most appropriate one,

20. You are the just Imam and the purest
By whom his lineage and positions were ennobled.

21. You united the dispersed glories after being separated,
And distributed the collected money so it poured to you.

22. You enriched until no needy one remains on earth
Whose fortunes and life fight against him.

23. O Prince of the Believers, you whose ranks
Rise above the Giant Star constellation.

24. And whose grandfather was the Prophet’s uncle and intimate friend,
When his family and relatives antagonized him.

25. How can the commandments of glories and religion be good
While you are the one to whom its doctrines are attributed?

26. And you are the one Habib means in his words:
“So win praise in this way, its earner.”

27. That I plunge into destruction and destruction is barren,
Its horses covered with dust and dirt.

28. And I undertake fearful adventures, risking
Myself without tiring of what I ride.

29. The enemies lie waiting for me in every ambush.
All of them crept towards me, their snakes twisted.

30. And I come to you while the unsheathed sword is sharpened,
Its blade as white as mirrors.

31. And I unload my hopes at your door, hoping
For the intercession of glory that dazzles the shining star.

32. So accept from me a slave of humility and he will be ransomed
As an obedient slave whom destiny will not fight.

33. And favor me with what you are worthy of
And raise my position so none can rival it.

34. And clothe me in the fabric of your shade a garment
That brings prestige to the status of the luminous.

35. And mount me on the carriage of your favors,
Riding the highest sphere with its entourage.

36. And allow me wealth and glory I desire
And glory is but some of what you grant.

37. And others come to you from nearby lands
Where security dwells, and no companion leaves them.

38. Not worn out were their bright faces from traveling through the deserts
Nor were their carriages covered with dust from journeying.

39. They gain nearness from you I did not attain
And intimacy I do not have though I request it.

40. They look from the splendor of your sanctity a look
Then return while the guiding Imamic light accompanies them.

41. Even if they know I equal them in self and position,
Loyalty and devotion, I do not rival them.

42. I would distract myself from what it seeks
And prevent my eyes from what they observe.

43. But he is like me, and even if I say I exceed him,
That would not shame his critic.

44. I am not one whose eyes are filled with money,
Nor will wishes be fulfilled except by getting near you.

45. I am not pleased with less than my peer,
Even if his carriages were shod with brilliants.

46. I am thirsty for seeing you, the spring of my contentment,
And it is no wonder that my sweet water is clear.

47. It is no strange matter that I stand at the sea
Complaining of thirst while the sea is full of wonders.

48. One who hopes to gain your favor is not blamed
If his purposes and requests are great.

49. I am pleased with my intention so its appearance is complete,
And I hope from you its consequences will be perfected.
