1. طَرَقَتكَ طارِقَةُ المُنى بِبَياتِ

    لا تُظهِري جَزَعاً فَأَنتِ بَداتِ

    The night visitor of wishes came to you by night.

    Do not show anguish, for you were the one who began.

  2. في حُبِّ آلِ المُصطَفى وَوَصِيِّهِ

    شُغلٌ عَنِ اللَذاتِ وَالقَيناتِ

    In love for the Chosen One’s family and his appointed successor

    lies distraction from pleasures and singing girls.

  3. إِنَّ النَشيدَ بِحُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

    أَزكى وَأَنفَعُ لي مِنَ القُنياتِ

    Indeed, singing of love for Muhammad’s family

    is purer and more beneficial to me than possessions.

  4. فاحِشُ القَصيدَ بِهِم وَفَرِّغ فيهِمُ

    قَلباً حَشَوتَ هَواهُ بِاللَذاتِ

    So fill your poetry with them, and devote to them

    a heart whose desires you have filled with pleasures.

  5. وَاَقطَع حِبالَةَ مَن يُريدُ سِواهُمُ

    في حُبِّهِ تَحلُل بِدارِ نَجاةِ

    And sever the bond with whoever desires others than them

    in his love; you will dwell in an abode of salvation.
