1. My heart is enamored of you;

    And my tears are shed for you.

  2. And in your promise, should you grant

    It, lie delay and procrastination.

  3. Shall I forget the scene of parting,

    While my yearning remains fixed on you?

  4. And an eye had seen me off,

    Stricken by the water of longing.

  5. And wide eyes poured out tears,

    And slender boughs swayed.

  6. And the cheek's redness shifted,

    As fingertip henna markings shifted.

  7. So the necklace of tears is unstrung,

    And the necklace of the mouth is closely strung.

  8. And in tears, for one burdened

    With parting's weight, there is relief.

  9. And a garden, with embroidery within it

    Of blossoms, and colored striping:

  10. We grew accustomed to its pleasant abode,

    And life's sweetness is familiar.

  11. And time's adversity—from us, by

    Abu al-Abbas—is turned away.

  12. A young man enamored of generosity,

    And well-known for good deeds.

  13. Virtues—for the age's well-being,

    In their shade lies fertile plenty.

  14. So on the day of giving, he is all smiles,

    And on the day of terror, a gallant nobleman.

  15. He scatters his ample wealth,

    And gathers lofty honors.

  16. Bounty—were it drawn from a sea,

    That sea would be drained by evening.
