1. O people of Allah's grace, your house
Certainly has virtues that praise extols and lauds

2. This is a shining star in your skies
With intellect flaming above the flaming planet

3. His actions, words, and gifts
Are for the excellent, the pure, and the striving

4. O Lord, how many hands has he offered
That praise cannot match in loyalty

5. He made me speak and lifted me with virtues
Lowered himself before me and silenced the envious

6. And established me as an eloquent orator in praise
And graced me even with the black attire

7. Tell the family for me that I
Have returned to Damascus for a life of comfort and ease

8. And I am safe from the flames of turmoil
Since I took refuge in the most lauded sanctuary
