1. Say to the glory of al-Din, by whom excellence was sealed,
O you who paved the way for Islam,

2. You are the reviver of the dead virtues and generosity,
In battle, the slayer of tyranny,

3. You are the asset of the hopeful, the protector of orphans,
The shelter for the seeking refuge and the oppressed,

4. The processions have come to us, heading towards
The nobility of your generous, noble forefathers,

5. Filled and surrounded with the generosity and honor
Of the righteous caliphate and generosity,

6. Upon it are plates; a vast, delightful sight,
Each plate being like the platter of peace,

7. It contains nothing objectionable or blameworthy,
Beyond reproach or blemish,

8. Except that the boy beneath it walks slowly,
By Allah, the boy needs help,

9. So stay purely forthcoming in your generous giving,
Prolonging the bountiful life of the Tigris, fully bestowing favor.
