1. Time smiled at goodness and benevolence
And directed the rain of sustenance to falsehood's drought

2. Days of justice adorned the world with their beauty
They shone, yet eyes had not seen them before

3. My eyes were filled with light from their elegance
And they became my thoughts and innermost feelings

4. The cruelty of events dug me into a tunnel
For the benevolence of the son of Hasan has darkened it

5. The darkness shone and the happiness altogether shone
And the full moon rose from the accession of Uthman
