1. My Master, may this new conquest bring you joy,
Achieved without army or widely renowned sword,

2. But rather with two armies - the army of patience paired
With a victorious army of good fortune.

3. The enemy you led from plain and mountain
As captives from the furthest reaches of their land,

4. They surrendered obediently in their fear,
Each coming to you wrapped in the garb of humility.

5. You pardoned them all when they came to you
Though no pardon for such a sin from them was deserved,

6. But the nature of your soul in its nobility
Rewards gratitude and the fortunate with gratitude.

7. Let their defiant one cross the wilderness, even if
He came to you under protection, he would expect no harm,

8. For God granted you sacred morals
And excellent patience in the face of events, victorious.

9. They came and were not content with the kingdom, then agreed
To the spoils they obtained by fleeing from you in hiding.

10. They took refuge from you in the mountains in caution
And no man is blamed for cautiously dreading.

11. You did not prepare against them an army for battle
Though they gathered for breaking and destruction in numbers,

12. They are not equal to your assembling armies against them,
But a few to chase them off would suffice, even if inadequate.

13. The lion does not agree to fight foxes, nor
Does the falcon duel with a sparrow to boast.

14. They betrayed the covenants of protection, they acted sinfully,
More lost is he who betrayed God's covenant or acted sinfully.

15. They preferred trickery out of wickedness, so ruin befell them,
And trickery ensnares none but the trickster.

16. Tell those wretched ones, what was the motive that drove them
To rise against the son of Hussein, Master of the affair,

17. The perfect King, Pasha Al-Aziz over
Bey Hamid who surpasses in qualities, sightless,

18. A king of forbearance and pardon for crimes, not dissuaded
By a prolonged or brief lapse of time,

19. For pardon from him for the sweetest sin
Tastes better than punishing the sinner, however grave.

20. He never turned away a petitioner, and his serenity
Flows like the Sihon River, nay, from his tranquility it flowed.

21. Never once did his assembly neglect the jurisprudence of religion
Or the Sayings of the Chosen Prophet, peace upon him.

22. If he wished, through piety to God, the stones
Would come to him in haste should he call the stone.

23. You see him a shining full moon in his processions
And in battle a flashing spark against the masses of foes.

24. When the enemies see him, they retreat vanquished,
Can the beasts stand firm when the lion of combat prowls?

25. My Master, thankfulness for the Bounty of God,
For the increase of God's Bounty is not deprived of gratitude.

26. We congratulate you, nay all people through you
Have become objects of congratulations, the poet and the poetry.

27. While this is so, ever since I left your presence
Separation's sorrow has been my prisoner prisoner,

28. Until the good tidings of you arrived from me
Removing that imprisonment with haste.

29. Forever may your kingdom, my Master, remain
Bound to power, fortune, and enduring prosperity,

30. With Fate your obedient slave, never ceasing
When you forbid and commanded when you command.
