1. May God protect you, O youth through whom
Our days brought glad tidings of a gloomy time,

2. Hope for good came true in you, leaving
No breast embracing a despairing heart.

3. You reached the heights till your merit
Made submitters and rivals bow down before you.

4. Generosity like pouring rain, pure
Of any reproacher's blame or miser's greed.

5. Gifts that if divided among people
Would leave no wretch remaining in the lands.

6. And a hand's dew that if outstretched
On earth would make every barren twig bear fruit.
