1. Turn to verdant Tunis and rejoice,
Quench your thirst with the life she inspires,

2. And see in the heights of glory the moon of guidance,
Its banners of light intertwined.

3. There resounds in the horizon a thrilling tune,
That gladdens you when its melody stirs,

4. Kings and nations sing praise,
To the Master whose eloquent tongue lauds Him.

5. The truthful, the virtuous, the peerless one, whose traits
Spread till the aroma was widely breathed,

6. A sun from the west whose rays reached,
And the east greets it and is joyous.

7. He established calm in all regions, preserving
His servants from chaos and turmoil,

8. And built justice a palace in its realms,
Elevating truth, no deviance nor crooked ways.

9. In the sharp polished blade of his sword,
The water of beauty and the water of death blend,

10. And in the mouth of his supreme pen,
The water of life and guidance combine.

11. At times by extending prosperity his will flows,
At others by destined decree it is confined,

12. In his serene palm the fates have written,
"Oh you who desired relief, this is the relief!"

13. And in his calm guiding visage and its glow,
The dawn of hope to thoughts is revealed.

14. His men were the adornment of eras, carefully selected,
From every gallant one the exalted rejoice.

15. His crushing army, its forces a raging sea,
Before it the armies of death submit.

16. At bombardment birds with no firm foothold,
And in firmness impregnable citadels unshaken.

17. He revived knowledge and refinement spreading them,
So the prime glory of Arabs returned.

18. The light of civilization shone in its horizons,
From it the desert was lit with guiding flames.

19. Oh you whose thrilling tune gladdens the cosmos,
These are his merits, narrate them without reserve!

20. For he excelled in generosity, ascending
Above an aether, by him steps falter.

21. His call revives the wilderness as he pours forth,
And by his pleasure the people's afflictions unravel.
