1. My children thirst while you are a cloud
Shading all creation with benefit and drink

2. Yet you darken my times though your face shines
Spilling light on religion and worldly life

3. Your excellence named you by His name
And the Merciful granted you highest rank

4. He who I ask already granted me
Validating me without condition or bend

5. My poetry in the bosom of gifts lives on
Reviving through me in death and life

6. I gift eulogies like aromatic musk
That spirits bear perfumed and fresh

7. O Pride of Kings, I excessively complain
Yet by right, my lord, I'm too shy

8. Generosity is lifeless unless
Your right hand's breath in its soul gives life

9. So let whoever wills Muhammad's religion thrive
Invoke our Caliph with eternal life
