هذا وكم مُتَرشِّحٍ

لي مرةً من بعدِ أُخرى

And how often one

Comes to me time after time

أجرَتهُ رغبتُهُ وزُه

دي في المدائِح كلَّ مُجرى

His desire and flooding passion

Channel him into praising me through every path

حتَّى إذا اتَّصَلَت رَسا

ئِلُه مع الركبانِ تَترى

Until when his messages connect

With the caravans repeatedly

نكَّبتُ عَنه جانِباً

وتركتُ عَين الجود عَبرى

I turn away from him

And leave the eye of generosity crying

ولقد رأيتُكَ بالذي اس

تَدعى وما استدعيت أُخرى

And I have seen you with what was

Requested and not requested by another

حتى نشأتَ لها ونف

سُك من هواها بعد سَكرى

Until you grew for it and your

Soul from its love after intoxication

فانظُر هل اتَّفق اختِيا

ري واختيارُك يا ابن كرى

So look - has my choice

And your choice coincided, O son of Kura
