    وما حال منهم عن العين غايب

    Little camel-driver, tell me again of the loved ones.

    And how fares the one among them who is absent from sight?

    سوجي النواظر جعيد الذوائب

    Fair of face, with a gleaming chest,

    Languid-eyed, with curling locks.

  3. رعى اللَه ليالي حظينا بوصله

    وطاب اتصالي بعله ونهله

    May God preserve the nights when we enjoyed union with him.

    And sweet was my union with him, draught after draught.

    فقلبي من البعد والهجر ذائب

    For my heart is melting from distance and estrangement.

    ولي ربّ يعلم بخافي أموري

    And I have a Lord who knows the secrets of my affairs.

  6. وشا أدخل وشا اجزم بقلب جسوري

    أرى اللوم عندي خطا غير صائب

    And I will enter and be resolute, with a fearless heart.

    I regard reproach as mistaken, not right.

  7. أناشا استجر بالجمال المكمل

    ومن في النبيين أكمل وأفضل

    I will seek refuge in perfected beauty,

    And in him who is most perfect and best among the prophets—

    به تنقضي لي جميع المطالب

    Abu al-Qasim, Ahmad, the best messenger sent to us.

    Through him, all my requests are fulfilled.

    ففي كلّ وزنه فوزنته أرجح

    And whoever has Muhammad as his forefather takes pride.

    For at every weighing, his weight is heavier.

    إذا أعيت علينا جميع المذاهب

    Through his blessing, my Lord overlooks faults and forgives,

    When all paths fail us.
