1. He was consumed by passion when denied his desire
A lover made more ardent by the one who inflamed his passion

2. His body grew emaciated from lovesickness
Had he wished to hide it from the eyes, his emaciation would have revealed it

3. Blessed be Al-Rasheed, my master
The people were pleased with his rule

4. May God make his enemies
Suffer evil instead of him

5. He was certain that wealth lies
In spreading his riches

6. He climbed high until he reached
The pinnacle with his ascent

7. But missed attaining the heights
Of glory and greatness

8. He has reigned with authority
And protected his subjects

9. An ocean of generosity, unknown
Where his limits lie

10. He did not fail, like Abraham
To have hope in people

11. Time does not change one
Who withstands if time hardens

12. He sufficed against the woes
Of days and fate protected him

13. How can I not praise one whose
Character lacked no virtues
