رمتني فلا شلت يداها بأسهم

من اللحظ لا تخطى فؤاداً بها رمي

She shot me with arrows, so I did not grasp her hands

From the moment, no heart crosses except the one she shoots

ولم أرمها لكن جرحت خدودها

بلحظي فأدماها فقلت للومي

And I did not shoot her, but her cheeks wounded

With my gaze, so I bloodied them, so I said to my blamer

كلانا به جرح ولكن جرحها

به الدم من لحظي وجرحي بلا دم

Both of us are wounded, but her wound

Is with blood from my gaze, while my wound is without blood

فحجتها أقوى ولو كشف الغطا

رثى لي مما في الحشا كل مسلم

So her argument is stronger, and if the cover was removed

Every Muslim would eulogize me for what is in the courtyard

وحدثني عنها خبير بحالها

بما لم يكن عندي ولا في توهمي

And an expert in her condition told me

What I did not have, nor in my imagination

وقال لها خد يورده الحيا

فيحمر إن تزهق لفرط التنغم

And he said to her, take the cheek that life makes red

So it reddens if it fades from the excess of melody

توهمته لما رأيت احمراره

بوجنتها جرحا به الخد قد دمي

I imagined it when I saw its redness

On her cheek a wound that bloodied the cheek

فلحظك مظلوم بهذا وخدها

فلا تجزعن فاللحظ غير مكلم

So your gaze is wronged in this and her cheek

So do not worry, the gaze does not speak

فهوّن عني بعض مابي وزادني

على الوجد وجدا زادني في تألمي

So reassure me of some of my affliction and add

To my passion, more passion, adds to my pain

وليس مقالي هان ما بي مناقضاً

لقولي زاد الوجد والوجد مسقمي

And my words do not mean to contradict

My saying, the passion increased and the passion made me sick

فكم من قضايا ذات وجهين ترتضي

لوجه وتأباها لوجه مذمم

So how many issues have two faces, you accept

For one face and reject it for a dispraised face

فتهوينه من حيث أطماع ناظري

ومن حيث أني لم أصبها بمؤلم

So its appeasement in terms of my observers’ hopes

And in terms that I did not hurt her with pain

وإني متى ارتع عيوني جمالها

رتعن بلحظ فيه غير محرم

And whenever my eyes graze her beauty

They graze with a gaze in which there is no sanctity

وأما ازدياد الوجد فالأمر ظاهر

وأنت بهذا منه غير معلم

As for the increase of passion, the matter is clear

And you, with this, are not knowing from it

أما في الذي أحكيه ما يبعث الشجا

ويكثر أشواق المحب المتيم

As for what I recount, it inspires yearning

And increases the longing of the enamored lover

ومن شك فيه شك في الشمس ضحوة

وفي كونكم في الملك من عهد آدم

And whoever doubts it doubts the sun at dawn

And that you in the kingdom since the era of Adam

فإنك عبدالله صفوة أحمد

سلالة إسماعيل أنجب ضيغم

For you are Abdullah, the elite of Ahmed

The lineage of Ismail who begot Dhighim

تنقلت في الأملاك من عهد آدم

إِلى اليوم ملك عن مليك معظم

You have transferred in the kingdoms since the era of Adam

To this day, a king from a magnificent king

فسادوا وقادوا عالمين بأنهم

بسعدك نالوا كل فوز ومغنم

So they ruled and led the two worlds, for they

Through your good fortune, attained all winning and booty

وفت بمواعيد السعادة دولة

تمخضت الأيام عنها بمنعم

And the state of happiness fulfilled its promises

That the days gave birth to, with blesser

فجاءت به جلد القوى متقوما

مع الله والإِسلام أيَّ تقوم

So it came with the skin of the straightened powers

With God and Islam - what straightening!

فيا طالبي العليا اصرفوا عن حديثها

فما ثَم فيها موضع المتكلم

So O seeker of the sublime, divert from talk of her

For there is no place for the speaker therein

أمن بعد عبدالله فيها لطامع

مرام يقوى عزمه المتهمم

After Abdullah, is there for the ambitious covetous

An intention that his determination imagines

توجه نحو الطالبين وصالها

فأسلاهم عنها بضرب مهدم

Turn toward the seekers of her company

So deter them from her with a destructive blow

فلا ملك إلا مثل ملكك رحمة

من الله لا يشقى بها غير مجرم

For there is no kingdom but like your kingdom, mercy

From God, through which no sinner is miserable

إذا ثقلت أيام ملك على الورى

فأيامك الحسنى تواريخ أنعم

If the days of a kingdom become heavy on the people

Then your good days are inscribed prosperities

وحبك قد ألقاه في الماء ربه

فيشرب كل منه حبك إن ظمى

And your love, God has cast it in the water

So everyone who is thirsty drinks your love

الست ترى كيف الهوى يستخفهم

ويبدو عليهم حين تبدو عليهم

Do you not see how desire makes light of them

And appears upon them when it appears upon them

وقد ملئت تلك القلوب محبة

لهم فيك تنشى بالحيا والتحشم

And those hearts have been filled with

Love for them in you, kindled with life and propriety

إذا قيل عبدالله أقبل أقبلوا

يعدون سعيا بين فدٍ وتوءم

If Abdullah is said, they hasten, hasten

Rushing eagerly between ransom and twin

وصلت وصول الماء على شدة الظما

لمن لاحه لفح الهجير وقد حمى

You have arrived with the arrival of water upon intense thirst

To one who's appearance heated the heated noon

فكنت لهم كالوالد البر ان دعوا

أجبت وأن يستعصموا بك تعصم

So you were to them like the righteous father, if they called

You answered, and if they sought protection through you, you gave protection

فايديهم مرفوعة لك بالدعا

وألسنهم تملى الثنا رطبة الفم

So their hands are raised to you in supplication

And their tongues recite praise, wet of mouth

وأنت لخير الرسل خير خليفة

فصل عليه ما استطعت وسلم

And you are the best successor to the best of messengers

Send blessings upon him as much as you can and greetings
