1. O gleam from the Lord of Najd that appeared
Alive are my eyes, alive is that homeland

2. I shall never forget the beauty of its dwellings
It was like a wedding in that residence

3. Allah is witness to my longing for its mention
Its pleasant scent came from its corners

4. So today I must thank it
And praise its qualities

5. Do not blame morning for the appearance of its intoxication
If it related the news about its sons

6. They are the full moons of al-Dawwar, the gate of dew
And the most beautiful and eloquent people

7. They dwelled in the valley for an age, so it became
Like the beauty of the world, thus in an embrace

8. Between them I have a nap that shone
And drank from me the pure, with no blemish

9. Playing between the gazelles of splendor
Like the playing of the moon among the stars

10. Matchless in beauty in the age
So I walk towards it, belonging to it

11. Munjid, but it is not salvation
Passionately in love with it from yearning

12. Leaving a promise of eternal union
And if he promised me, he did not betray

13. O its antelope, playing with my mind
Smooth-faced and capturing the watcher

14. He surpassed Qais in his obsession with Layla
With the splendor of the king in magnificent beauty

15. His prey is prey to a sleepy eyelid
And from Damascus he has a mole that called

16. A nightingale in Egypt, the beauty of Hosni
And from the houri he has a heart that guides

17. His Indian, Yemeni, Eurasian charm
A hidden treasure, his mouth guarded

18. A juicy, delicate, well-proportioned radiance
Wondrously how they planted in him

19. In carnelian and sealed with aquamarine
O my blaze, if despair made me its companion

20. With a drink in which radiance and perfection exist
I would quench the heart from the heat of estrangement

21. And show my eyes the sweet comradeship
And compose poetry as an unmatched pair

22. In the adornment of the wise and brilliant man
He is called Suleiman, safe and sound

23. From an enemy, injustice and envy
Seeking knowledge, he came to embody knowledge

24. And continued to rise in good fortune
He is from prominent people, generous

25. Honored with glory, benevolence and nobility
So in those virtues he followed

26. His father, the erudite Abdel Ghani
He became a pillar for the people of poverty

27. And his outstanding merit always enriches
In the name of the fasting month he became famous among the people

28. And he has merit over the rest of the year
He is prominent among the notables

29. Those with hearts and tongues praise him
His face blooms like the moon among mortals

30. And among those beautiful faces
A Kaaba of generosity, pillar of shelter

31. Bearer of praise from all tongues
Remaining in glory for ages

32. Ever beneficent, living comfortably
The confluence of seas meets his house

33. Wherein glory calls out eloquently
Rejoice, O his moons, good tiding

34. And congratulations on the high and splendid residence
Its features foretell good tidings

35. Its splendor apparent and clear
It is built with the highest virtues

36. And meanings, and on piety founded
Extending beneficence through the Yemen, and in it resistance

37. Its palace remains, by that refuge
Its builders, men of greatness

38. Like stars in a sky, nay revolving
They put effort to attain the heights

39. And became tall, equaling them in palaces
They matched the peaks where sublimity rose

40. And every light depends on their friendship
They are generous, noble blessed ones

41. Our praises upon them pile
With them lies the market of virtues and guidance

42. Flourishing, and all with knowledge graced
For Suleiman, congenial of nature, I gift a camel

43. As he is my comrade - and what an excellent friend
He is the one I praise to all scholars

44. He is my superior, complete, free, refined
He still remains generous and preferring

45. Of good conduct, delighted with the friend
So I congratulate him and dedicate with joy

46. An ode calling in precious words
So, congratulations! The date marking his appearance is done

47. I brought a sun to the shining full moon
