1. Like the moon at its fullest height
My heart is filled with your light

2. In your grasp lies pleasure for me
If only this could always be

3. To give kindness to those in need
And pardon those who cause us grief

4. Yet you are pleased to end my life
With neither cause nor bloody knife

5. Who can help me with my loved one?
End this sadness, I’m undone

6. Boast not of beauty or of fame
I swear you hold no blame

7. The ruler I speak of is the best
May he bring prosperity and rest

8. No doubt that he will prevail
And all his goals will not fail

9. With God’s help he’ll not tire
Victorious, never to retire

10. A sultan’s son, a leader wise
Bringing justice before our eyes

11. None can match his noble blood
Do not speak if you mean ill

12. In faith and Yemen, none can fill
His place, though many have tried

13. Kings of old had less pride
None can match his generosity
