حنت لفيفاء البطاح الروح

تغدو اليها لوعة وتروح

The spirit longs for the meadows' bend,

Going to it with yearning, and leaves.

لعبت بها نسماتها فالقلب في

ارجائها شغفا بها مطروح

Its breezes played with it, so the heart in

Its spaces is smitten with passion for it.

لهفاه كم ضحك الخلي ولوعة

ما زلت ابكي ارضها وانوح

How much the friend laughed, yet my longing

I still weep for its land and lament.

فتكت محبتها بمهجة صبها

فلمتنها مما يكن شروح

Its love captivated my mind's rapture

So I refused all that gives joy.

قال العذول اطرح صميم غرامها

فاجبته حتى تروح الروح

Al-Adhool said: "Cast off the heart of her love,"

I replied: "Until the soul departs."

يا من سكنتم في القلوب فرحبكم

فيها وآيات الغرام فسيح

O you who lived in hearts, so welcome

In them, and the signs of love are apparent,

ومن العجائب مذهبي الكتمان في

حبي لكم ومع الخفاء ابوح

And of wonders is my concealment in

My love for you, yet with hiding I confess,

لاحت لنا ضمن العراق قبابكم

فدم الموله عندها مسفوح

Your domes shone for us in Iraq

So the blood of the loyal there is spilled.

كيف السلو وبرق ام عبيدة

من برج هاتيك القباب يلوح

How can one enjoy, when the lightning of Obaidah

Flashes from the tower of these domes?

حيا بحال ابي العواجز احمد

وله بشنأة حاله تصريح

Greet in his state Abu Al-Awajiz Ahmad

And his condition at Shanaa is explained.

هو شيخ اهل الله عقد نظامهم

ولهم بجاذبه القوي فتوح

He is the Shaykh of Allah's people, who organized them,

And for them with his strong pull there are openings.

غوث على اردانه مسك العبا

بطراز احوال الرسول يفوح

Succor upon his necklaces of ambergris the scent

Of the traits of the Messenger emanates.

ولكم بندبة اسمه قد ادركت

سر الشفاء من القلوب جروح

And for you with his title his name has reached

The secret of healing the hearts' wounds.

نبراس برهان الرسول ومنتقى

آل البتول وشبلها الممدوح

The lantern of the Messenger's proof and the elite

Of Batool's lineage and her praised grandson.

وابن الذي نال الخليل بناره

اسعافه وبه توسل نوح

And the son who obtained with his fire the closeness

Of the Friend, so by him Nuh hopes.

شرف تالق في اساجيف العلا

فله على الفجر المنير وضوح

The honor shone among the celestial stars

So for him the bright dawn is evident.

وفخار بيت لا يسامى مجده

كل الفخار لمجده ممنوح

And the pride of a house whose glory

Cannot be surpassed, all pride is granted to his glory.

بيت تناط المكرمات ببابه

ولها غبوق عنده وصبوح

A house upon whose door favors cluster

And for it dawn and dusk.

يا رب الحقنا بحبل رجاله

كرما فبابك للرجا مفتوح

O Lord, join us to the rope of its men,

Generously, for Your door to the hopeful is open.

واشمل بجودك يا كريم ذنوبنا

ان الكريم عن الذنوب صفوح

And include in Your generosity, O Bountiful, our sins,

For the Bountiful overlooks sins.

واجعل بظل الهاشمي مقامنا

في الحشر يا قدوس يا سبوح

And make our place in the Resurrection, O Holy One,

In the shade of the Hashimi, O Glorious.
