1. Greetings that told of his beauty like pearls on a necklace
And scented the pocket with reddish ambergris

2. And I send greetings that sing of its meadows
The doves cooing thanks for the arts of affection

3. And the best prayer that found ready acceptance
With an arrow of humility guided by the hand of glory

4. From the sincere slave belonging to the one known
For generosity and hospitality, the master

5. To the son of the noble and eminent people
The ally of dew, my master Hussein the rightly guided

6. A cloud that when the destitute seek its rain
Gives freely without promise and pours without thunder

7. A generous one who when asked lends his ear
Alerting of his character the eyelids of roses

8. With his birth the world and its people prospered
And the young blade of justice and glory grew sharp

9. Who softens when the breeze blows gently by the dew
And hardens against the raging as solid rock

10. Formed of valor, generosity and his valor
With his limbs attacks and his palms call to battle

11. Whenever the clan of Muzain gives their alliance
Or he brandishes a sword, their alliance with the lions

12. Your face is perfected by fortune's face
So the moon of bliss shone in your crown

13. Bear from me, o breeze, a trust
Speaking of how I preserve covenants with him

14. A message of one longing for him as though
The dawn breathed from it the scent of affection

15. Convey from me, o messenger, a kiss on his hand
And share with him what I hide of passion

16. And convey to him my greetings, for his reply
In returning the greeting from afar would gladden me

17. For that is a favor from him like the taste
That delights my hearing and heals my liver

18. And I am obliged to you for visiting him
As if you were tears flowing down my cheek

19. Oh if only you were a sandal on his feet
Honored by the sacred valley's dust from my hide

20. Upon him be the peace of God while passionate love
And the specters of desire roam the valley of Nejd
