1. Your messages poured forth in succession
Full of gratitude and thanks

2. Binding to history, they became
Lessons and reminders for Islam

3. I recited their opening chapters
Your flowing prose seemed like poetry

4. They roused Al-Jurshi from his slumber
When he awoke, to you he was grateful

5. They unveiled the blindness from eyes
And split the dawn through thick darkness

6. When Westerners boast over Easterners
Raising them these days in esteem

7. This land and those born from it
Uplift, though it birthed them as a full moon

8. Without the sun's light enveloping it
It could not have carried them a month

9. So too religion refined us, and we lived
Through it, teachers of mankind eternally

10. Righteousness was our guide, so we excelled
With its guidance, scaling glory and esteem

11. Justice was our way, so we blocked
And were harbingers in the flow of time

12. With it we opened East and West
And ascended above eras, one after another

13. We did not brandish war to conquer others
Nor sought victory except for God

14. Thus were our noble ancestors
Can mere heritage suffice as pride?

15. Since you were a servant of the Merciful
It befits you to weep for the lofty freedom

16. No freedom, had you known
To change the Book, while you knew better

17. Be for the Muslims a lion in thought
And for unbelievers, be resolutely rejectful

18. And give me from your tradition goblets
So I may yearn when told I drank sorcery

19. Glory to He who made the servant transcend
