1. The ships gleamed, was it the full moon rising?
Or a radiant smile that set my heart ablaze?

2. Or did the morning reveal its gardens, which I mistook
For a shooting star kindling in the heavens?

3. Or was it the lights of good tidings shining
On the horizon, announcing Ahmad's deliverance?

4. The noble son of the magnanimous Abul Mukarram Mustafa,
Unique in his exaltation, peerless and sublime,

5. Inheriting glory and honor from his forefathers,
Yet surpassing his destiny, ever rising.

6. Eloquence, brilliance, and wisdom he embodied,
With refined manners and affection he was graced.

7. O noble son, beneficence will mark your days,
And virtues multiply as time flows on.

8. Grieve not for the days of your imprisonment,
For such is the caprice of fate, alas.

9. Many a youth is clad by time itself in blame,
And from calamity finds himself stripped bare.

10. How many blessings are veiled by blessings! Else
The youth would name it guidance, if he but knew.

11. Secrets hide in shells until they shine as pearls,
The sword rusts within its sheath when not in use.

12. Had the pearl not dwelt in the shell's embrace
It would not have graced the neck of time.

13. They denied you only when they saw you were
A treasure, and treasures are often denied.

14. Though you are true, perfection still eludes,
Like the crescent moon emerging from darkness.

15. Exalted you are, never let it slip away,
What star ever willingly falls from the heavens?

16. Rejoice in your noble deliverer, for he
Is your shelter and protection come again.

17. Live safely by the spring of glory and honor,
And hope smiles on you anew, nasal.
