1. With a Kaaba of lights I saddled my steed
And embarked to attain my wish

2. I girded my loins and went about my goals
That my sins may be forgiven and my prayers accepted

3. And my status raised as I don my robes
Of glory in their lands without my ruses

4. May victory endure with the triumphing opening
With the support of the Merciful and the authority of my proof

5. And its manifestation with tranquility and reverence
And the light of understanding descending from above my whims

6. And intimacy with what the dwellings radiate
Its wisdoms at every dawn and eve of mine

7. So the guide offered me his treasures as a dowry
I chose to say no though it delighted me

8. So blame me not if I acted vain
To revive the life of the knowing through my upbringing

9. He said mention what you allowed taken as a gift
I said suggest what is meet, he said ask and you'll attain

10. He untied his purse, I said without her I only
Want the bride-price of union without our separation

11. Be gentle with whom youth has corrupted
And became soft without my thousands of proofs

12. They will stand for him if loved ones slandered him
And said lies in love without my evidence

13. How often have we been attacked and ended up
In corners of misfortunes beyond my capacities

14. And how often have our souls been caged when
Our homelands were deserted with the squares of my loneliness

15. And how many arrows of enemies found us
And became bodies like my frown

16. And how many times did the calamity of war strike us suddenly
And we became tales on the tongues of my markets

17. And how often did tribulations make us surrender without
Crying for those who asked for help with tongues

18. And how often were we ambushed negligently
And how much did we suffer from tribulation

19. And how enjoyable became the torment of its torment
And how often did calamities bargain with my will

20. And how often on the path were we stung by snakes
For loving her until my beloved stoned me

21. And how often did cubs play with us pretending
To be lions to suppress my resolve

22. And how our eyes stayed up without
A taste for sleep next to obeying her

23. And how it did not allow but phantom
Unions with no truthful essence

24. And how it held back our tears like we are
The deluge with the heat of her estrangement

25. And how it kindled the fires of my passion as if
They are the fires of Khalil that appeared with my agony

26. And how it stirred the sorrows of my fervor as if
I did ablution with Jacob at the well of my story

27. And how often for her imagination I sculpted
As if I am Moses receiving revelation at my fainting

28. And how often did it seduce our hearts as if
I am the mount where none could stand my powers

29. And how often did passing thoughts expel us
From the springs of her nearness without my oversight

30. She said does confusion appear next to our union
You lie so passing thoughts of misfortune came

31. So while I rise like Adam when he walked
In the pasture of intimacy in the paths of my paradise

32. Behold destiny called "Did you not know that I
Forbade you so descend earth of lust and desires"

33. So we were brought out from the sanctuary where no
Defenses only our expulsion from the spring of my ascension

34. The affairs stretched in us and brought out
With our expulsion all the affairs in my grasp

35. And how often did doers ennoble us
To shake the soul in breaking my authority

36. And how often did the fire of destiny ignite with our wars
Darkening our sky in bringing my doubts

37. And how it denied what we construct
Though the eras' letters acquiesce in every arrangement of mine

38. And it waded through stations that confuse description
For it fulfilled the creed of gnosis without my existence

39. And it never stopped roaming in the shadow of dwellings
With mantles of spirits in describing my misery

40. Navigating seas that cannot be attained by ruse
Despite those who perished in the evil of my twist

41. And the pens have shown the secrets of wayfarers
Revealed to them in their journey without my privacy

42. Then there are matters known to the people of our taste
And whom tasteless denounces my saying

43. In any case in loving I was neglectful
Oppressive ignorant not heeding my setback

44. So he sharpened my hearing with etiquette of her union
And said listen, ascertain, you'll attain every destination of mine
