الحب ادواء عسيره

تغشى البصائر والبصيره

Love is a bitter medicine

That overwhelms insight and vision

اين المفر وللهوى في

القلب غارات المغيره

Where can I escape when passion resides

In my heart with changing abodes

اني أمرؤ يعييه أمر

هواه ان يخفى ضميره

I'm a man worn out by his love

If he conceals his inner thoughts

ملكت جوانحه من

الآرام غراءُ غريره

It has conquered his wings from

Calm with its alluring chirp

تهتز كالغصن النضير

وليس من يلقى نظيره

It trembles like a delicate branch

With no equal to be found

حملت على أعلاه في غسق

الدجى شمس الظهيره

It carried high upon its shoulders in the dark

Of night the sun of midday

واراك معجز ثغرها الدر

الثمين سنا صغيره

I see you a miracle whose mouth is a precious pearl

Bashfully diminishing the radiant flowers

واخجلة الزهر المنور

منه والزهر المنيره

Sweetly tormenting my affection

Quenching me with bitterness

عذب يعذب مهجتي

ظمأ ويغذيني مريره

And of wonders is that I find myself

Obedient, loving its tyranny

ومن العجائب ان تراني

طوعه واحب جوره

And I see for it against me that

I become its captive

وأرى له منا عليّ بأن

أصير له اسيرؤه

While the passion exhausts itself, and towards

Destruction you see its fate

والصب يجهد نفسه والى

الهلاك ترى مصيره

The beauty of my beloved has vanished

From my eyes, its meaning and form

ذهبت محاسن من احب

لناظري معني وصوره

And my nature has been hindered

From its abundant rhymes

وتعذرت مني الغريزة

عن قوافيها الغزيره

And I recoiled from assailing the enemy on

The day of battle, my hands too short

وجبنت عن طعن العدى يوم

الوغى ويدى قصيره

And I claimed that stinginess

Remains in me over generosity

وزعمت ان الشح ابقى

لي من المنن الكثيره

And I attributed my origin to Syria

And excused my family in the peninsula

ونسبت اصلي الشآم

وعفت أهلي بالجزيره

If I, my Master, my aid

Of the well-bred and clan

ان كنت يا مولاي يا زاكي

الأرومة والعشيره

O Mustafa most high whom

His clear springs have purified

يا مصطفى العلي من

تصفو مشاربه النميره

Have not recited verses of your glory

One chapter after another

لم اتل من آيات مجدك

سورة من بعد سوره

Or if I was dissuaded from

Loving you by harm or need

أو كنت من يثنيه عن

حبيك ضر أو ضروره

When I am one who has made

Praising you in life my companion

وأنا الذي جعل الثناء

عليك في الدنيا سميره

Until my mouth upon it

Is envied if I uttered another

حتى كأن فمي عليه

تغار ان قررت غيره

I did not sleep from it so do not sleep

Your bright eyes from me

ما نمت عنه فلا تنم

عيني بأعينك الغريره

And for you is praise for the position you have

Allotted with which the greatest conquests

ولك الهناء بمنصب قسمت

به القتم الكبيره

You have granted it generously without request

And were not consulting

قلدته عفواً بلا طلب

ولم تك مستخيره

Information about it, and the matter is more successful

With that which an expert undertakes

خبراً به والأمر أوفق

ما توليه خبيره

So you have followed the path of truth in

Its sections and chosen the best

فسلكت نهج الحق في

أقسامه واخترت خيره

And you have acted with all justice in

Its rulings and erased tyranny

وعدلت كل العدل في

أحكامه ومحوت جوره

And justice in the world, one sees it

In the hereafter as a supporter

والعدل في الدنيا يراه

المرء في الأخرى نصيره

And you have appeared with benevolence, and benevolence

Its appearance does not stay hidden

وظهرت بالمعروف والمعروف

لا يخفى ظهوره

And you have taught that fate

Is hours and fleeting times

ووعلمت أن الدهر

ساعات وأوقات يسيره

It has mixed clarity for us apart from you

From springs with turbidity

مزج الصفاء لنا عداك

من الموارد بالكدوره

And for long, God forbid, we have been

Angry in haste, happiness

ولطالما حاشاك اغضبنا

على عجل سروره

So by your grace in existence

Is an effect and famed trace

فغدا لفضلك في الورى

اثر ومأثرة شهيره

We relate your narration as

Abu Hurairah relates hadith

نروي حديثك مثلما

يروي الحديث ابو هريره

And soon the lofty positions

Will rise like the lowly

ولسوف تعلو بعده الرتب

الجليلة كالحقيره

For glory hopes to see you

As trustee and leader

فالمجد يرجو ان يراك

امينه وترى أميره

And to you goes pure praise from

The plateau of the bed and pillow

وإليك ضافي الحمد من

صافي الطوية والسريره

Were it not for you I would not have set free

From it lines of poetry

لولاك ما حررت ضمن

طروسه منه سطوره

For we are in a time wherein

Poets were not given barley

فلنحن في زمن به

الشعراء لم تعط الشعيره

If in it lived Jarir

None would vie but his equal

لو عاش فيه جريره ما

اعتاض منه سوى الجريره

So submit to veil his faults through you

For the fault of time is a disgrace

فاسلم لنستر عيبه بك

ان عيب الدهر عوره
