1. The Levant dawned, so who is
This riser, on your path?

2. Then when your sun spread
Its light, they said: who came? I said: your sun.

3. How many crescents almost
Envied, O leader, your illumination.

4. And his son the writer has
Pledged, therefore, to record your ascent.

5. Generosity has stolen most
Precious jewels; they all came to you.

6. May you ever abide in the meadow
Of justice, and the hunt of benevolence.

7. Intercede for these subjects
Before the Merciful, your pilgrimage.
