1. My tribe comes to him out of fear
And my provisions, if scarce, become plentiful

2. His kingdom is sublime and from the excess of what he bestows
I fulfill the duty of exaltation and attain it

3. A king who remembers his promises and covenants
While his favors make him forget what he attains

4. His rule is a rule of mercy and his judgments
Are according to what the revelation brought us

5. You have adorned the people of this age with virtues
Until the unknown became known

6. While the indolent became active and the coward brave
The betrayer loyal and the stingy generous

7. You have protected the lands with the sword so the easy became difficult
And the humiliated became dignified

8. You have divided the Franks in two by conquest
So this one is moaning while the other lies dead

9. He who did not fold at the fear of your sword
Became by nightfall a mindless man

10. Fear has imagined before his eyes hosts against you
In the innermost part of his house that do not disappear

11. To him usury is armies and the surge of the sea
In every bay a fleet

12. And if he dozes off, your bare sword takes him in sleep
To slay him in a dream

13. So remain a refuge for Muslims and a pit for the Franks
As ages succeed with no change

14. Between an eternal rule and grace that knows no decline
With firm resolve, lofty, sincere, and generous

15. Your deputy fulfilled and accomplished
And he is the eloquent, accepted one

16. He saw in the resolve to conquer what made
The earth and mountains tilt toward him

17. And the swords responded to him with the clanking of steel
And the horses with neighing

18. He saw the sun still beneath the horizon
And the earth flooding with armies

19. Every land in which there is a lion army
Marching above it a pack of hyenas

20. And if fate becomes hostile, God even then
Is enough for us and an excellent Trustee
