1. A striker in fantasy, letting loose his reins
The angel of revelation has possessed his heart and his tongue

2. Overflowing with beauty, a flower that blossoms like a rose
When the dew crowns its branches

3. He lived among people in the prime of passion
Never shaking off from youth its mantle

4. He filled the universe with magic from his hands
And built his kingdom and strengthened its structure

5. And endowed him with eternity in the transient world
And kept his power above decay

6. He is the dawn of genius in which
Every one who has unleashed love and its zeal resounds

7. And a heaven for the supreme poet from which
Poetry derives its inspiration and eloquence

8. The feather of the portrayer shines from it
Every maiden whose eyelashes it does not reject

9. It is the guitar of eternity on which
The birds modulate their melodies in the meadows

10. And I am the poet who fell in love with beauty
And the hand of life kindled his fascination

11. My institute is these meadows, and my professor
Is the charming spring nature

12. And flowers are the taverns on the riverbank that kiss
In the morning its banks

13. Budding and clothed by spring upon them
Pouring in its basin its colors

14. Hearkening to the murmur of the lover
And chanting to the guitar his sighing

15. A temple for birds, its priest is the night
And its ringing bell is the ringing east wind

16. And tabernacles for maidens when
The west pours its purple in the gloom

17. The lord of fine art stood over it
Igniting under darkness its pillars

18. Singing the melody of eternity and calling
From beyond the awe-inspiring unseen its time

19. O time: God suffices me, what is
This humiliation of the men of arts?

20. Have you seen in the remains of my ancestors
Something buried that decay has erased its mark?

21. Stop at art in East and West
And describe the immortalizing world its rank

22. The throne of Granada, the god of Athens
The crown of Rome, the sky of the glory of sculpture

23. Magic shines from statues in them
And minarets like the positioned constellations

24. And the maiden seems to inspire Raphael
The spirit of eternity and the revelation of religion

25. And the son of Hamdis in the royal court, and for Marten
They overflow with youth and generosity

26. Conversing with the garden and the lake until
Art touched in them its vigor

27. Indeed glory, in the world, is to a composer
Who shook the heart of the world and led its reins

28. And to one who ruled kingdoms with justice
And approved the truth supremely in its structure
