1. For God's sake, Qadi Dayndawz, for he
Is a judge; when he renders justice, he is deliberate and impartial.

2. He performs his duties so well that his accomplishments
Dazzle, and their quality amazes those of the past.

3. His palm has sheltered widows and orphans;
He has striven, so his efforts have become the true comfort.

4. Without him, no one would have covered the nakedness
Of our dead, nor would any prayer have been acceptable.

5. You only see him commanding right
And forbidding wrong, urging and rousing to action.

6. How many destitutes has he protected from misery? Without
The work of your hands, they would have perished from the cold.

7. He has erected the portico of a ruler which, without him,
Would have fallen into ruin and decay.

8. When a man displays work he has done in the past,
He rolls up his accomplishments when they are past.

9. He has joined many a clan to his company, though the path to it
Was obscure, and he made its difficult course easy.

10. How often has he raced to obtain the goal,
Lightening the heavy load, pleasing the mounter!

11. His fingers have clothed the meadows with green so lush
The clouds pour rain upon the countries and refresh them.

12. While others sleep through their neglect of some craft,
His eyes vigilantly refrain from slumber.

13. His righteous acts, manifest and witnessed,
Are white: their performance brooks no delay.

14. Both his hands are outstretched in their fashioning,
Vying like the flashing of lightning.

15. What knight has he not clothed in ease,
His steed accoutred, and readied for the desired raid!

16. If he wished to recount his deeds from the past,
Mortals would find the universe too cramped for them.

17. He gives water in drought when clouds refuse it
And faces of misery are parched and frowning.

18. So may God preserve the Caliph's deeds for us
And protect his feet from stumbling!
