1. Her cheek is attributed to the redness of the rose
And her garment's blue is attributed to lavender

2. Her lips were protected from the one who desires by her veil
Just as Indian swords protect the inviolability of land

3. My eyelids, when tears stream from them
For love of her are like the hand of al-Mu'ayyad in generosity

4. May God watch over the days of al-Mu'ayyad
Never in our lives have seasons of time ceased

5. A king whose knowledge equals his attainment
As though they are two seas that met upon a sea

6. O supreme king, I give you glad tidings of the approaching feast
And good tidings for all people in the rain from your palms in generosity

7. And I congratulated you on the feast whose sacrifice stood tall
Until your enemies made the feast into slaughter
