1. To the seat of relief, the eminent Ahmed
I have extended my hand, hoping for favor, pleading

2. Before the men of God, the sultan of their party
And the greatest of them in every path and scene

3. To him belongs the evident honor among the Fatimids
And the brightest glories among the descendants of Muhammed

4. If you consider the pillars, he is ahead of them
And if you count the chieftains, he is the open-handed father

5. I meet with him the bold lion crouching
And subdue my enemies and defeat my envious foes
