1. God is your ally in adversity and prosperity
And the guarantor of your triumph in old and new struggles

2. If you travel you will be accompanied by success
If you stay you will have happiness as your boon companion

3. The clouds rain down on you when they are filled
Bringing plentiful rain while the winds blow gently

4. You are the radiant spring if the land so desires
And the seasons change to your joyous arrival

5. Your ambition to which the ambitions of kings return
Is for their mounting anxieties to become tribulations

6. And your winds which blow violently from the south
And at times you make them lethal poison

7. And your peaks are blossoms which peaks of ranks disdained
Lest they become stars

8. How many men of great worth have you met
With the tips of spears bringing great calamity

9. And a braggart called generous you left
Called generous though your hands had debased him

10. Did your lions not finish off the Romans
Leaving just a foolish or runty one

11. And you erased all trace of the cross
Leaving no landmark for the eye that was known

12. Horses compensated for attacking in relays
With grievous injuries from their hoofs and fetlocks

13. And forbidden prey so their sheaths
Allowed them to violate sanctuaries

14. And you brought justice regarding acts of valor
While leaving your share among them deprived

15. The tribes granted you their obedience in awe
So you granted the embers of their glory more fuel

16. The most difficult of them gave you the bridle
And none but you could steer their most intractable

17. So your vultures do not aspire to prophecy
Nor seek other than you to select

18. They entreat you for more talents and promises
That no longer shower from you as clouds and rain

19. The epitomes of unsheathed swords which you surpassed
In courage when carnage was imminent

20. And I see the dynasties garlanded you with their affairs
And called you leader after your father passed

21. You adorned me with blessings by which I saw the darkness
As morning, while I used to see morning as bleak

22. So I came to be envied by a friend though before
Even a foe would show me mercy

23. I filled the horizons with words
Were it not for praising you they would be meaningless

24. A perfume rivals vie over as if
They vie over unplucked hyacinth

25. So you were spared by the woes of fate and no longer
Does your distinction suffer any blemish

26. Kings sought the dust of your threshold so they withdrew
Empty-handed, with seal rings and rags

27. Whether they be gracious for the moment or pretend
Generosity of spirit for you were created generous
