Concerning seeking forgiveness from Allah (swt) and Intercession by of Rasuluallah
I served him with praise, by means of which I ask to be pardoned.
The sins of a life passed in poetry and serving other
As these two have garlanded me with that consequences which I fear.
As though I am due to it poetry and serving others a sacrificial animal.
I obeyed the misleading passions of youth in both conditions and I did not
I achieved but sin and remorse.
O the great regret of my soul in its transaction.
It did not purchase Deen with the world, nor had I negotiated for it.
The person who sells his future for his present.
His being defrauded in the sale and its negotiation.
If I had committed any sin my covenant is not likely to be violated.
With my Nabi Rasuluallah and nor is my rope broken.
For verily I have a security from him due to my name.
Being Muhammad, while he is the most faithful of mankind in fulfilling his promise.
If at my resurrection, he should not take me by my hand
Out of kindness, then say O the slipping of my foot.
I seek the sanctuary in Allah that he should deprive one who is hopeful of his graces.
Or that his neighbour follower returned from him dishonoured.
And since I have devoted my thoughts to his praises.
I have found him to be best sanctuary for my salvation.
His bounty will never escape from my hand which has been soiled.
For verily rain causes flowers to bloom on rocks
And I did seek the flowers wealth of the world which were plucked.
By the hands of Zuhair through his praises of Haram.
