1. When people scatter saffron,
I scatter praise and thanks upon you.

2. I compose from a pure mind masterpieces
To please the ears of transmitters with them somewhat.

3. So do not think that only the sea contains pearls -
Mouths can also bring out pearls from their speech.

4. And whoever was the body and soul of honors
Was adorned with praise, not coarseness or reprimand.

5. His hearing is greeted with the basil of praises,
And it suffices him that his merits are fragrant.

6. I am not pleased with any gift but your description,
Nor a judge except with praising you as compensation.

7. You reached the ultimate goal of power,
Below which the conveyors of wishes fell short.

8. You kept heating glory until you made it
Yours, not to be sold or bought.

9. How many a seeker claims a share in it yet
He folds his palms if he knows the price!

10. An energetic soul obeys you in kindness -
If asked about your generosity, it sees apology as ugly.

11. I think you want asceticism in the world,
For you are not one who stores up for a future consequence.

12. Blessings volunteered with herself,
So you recreated her in your time with another birth,

13. Gifts that give wealth over wealth
As extra and leave the poor as if he were rich,

14. Coming in secret while the clouds thunder with it,
Announcing what they grant if they pour rain.

15. My summer cloud in the dew has ransomed you,
Suspecting the request of petitioners to be a trick.

16. When hopes flock around his coasts,
They hear from every side a rebuke.

17. Are you not one of those people whose tents
And those who desire them are captivated?

18. They spend nights in places of enjoyment while having
Leftover provisions protected for whoever is fed,

19. Fearing the guest gets lost from them, so they raised
From the darkness banners of red fire.

20. They benefited those they wanted and destroyed them promptly -
Thus their hands gathered ease and hardship.

21. The hearts' seeds succeed you as if
You were created a secret in consciences or a mystery.

22. So if the two eyes invite love,
They have seen in your person the sun and the moon.

23. And if the soul has a longing for warmth,
It is most deserving to yearn for your blossoms.

24. Even enemies have inclined toward peace with you
And what person does not love righteousness?

25. As for the illness of enviers, it has no cure,
And blessings that can be picked have almost ended.

26. Your hands are equal in extension and generosity
So the right did not boast over the left of any favor.

27. You tore apart the group of people that quarrel
With the edge of a tongue that alternates between attack and defense.

28. And vulgarity that ignorance led to you
Made the refuge of forbearance without it a veil.

29. Over glory flies a protected heart -
If it undertakes fears it does not consult a thought.

30. And the determination of a rewarder on every peak
Attains the prohibition and command at its firmest.

31. Oh, many an hour in your succession that
His steeds stumbled with him or his leg tripped!

32. And a seeker of the limit of your favor
And whoever wades into the green or bleeds the sea!

33. Take a side from the dust of crookedness
Otherwise you have wasted prime pursuit.

34. And leave this firm hero his whim -
You have not mastered loss and danger.

35. A young man who deprived enemies of eagerness for heights
So they submitted to him and did not tie a knot.

36. Does the illuminated garden not please eyes
That have grazed in its beauty and cheer?

37. As if modesty has poured in his cheeks
So it was his water and his excess was its basins.

38. Its intimate whispers speak to him of hidden secrets
So you think they were deposited in pages being read.

39. They said he is the pouring rain that floods the land
So I said to them you have not added to me any news.

40. They said he is the lion whose mane hair is dusty
So I said, by God, which of them is more fitting?

41. I swore that it descends upon its shoulders
Let down, tightening them, with raised hair.

42. It drags behind it the trains of winds
When it writes a line, it erases what came before.

43. It abstains from carrying riders like statues
And carries in its raids dishevelment and dust,

44. To where good treatment is not rewarded
When they fulfill a ritual, the reward is their slaughter.

45. And a house, surrounded by those who circled around it
Circling of commoners wearing necklaces of pearls.

46. The cheeks of its inscriptions reveal in their shells
To a viewer the swords are bared and not bared.

47. A sanctuary whose trees birds do not fear
Any shirt, nor do deer fear any startling with it.

48. By the firmly twisted stone of hearing and obedience,
We know that He who controls benefit and harm.

49. When they clink the drinking cups for heights
I am most deserving of an arrow and fastest in shooting.

50. Highest of heel, sweetest of booty,
Most faithful in promise and highest in mention.

51. The success of the effort in every goal
That you have desired to accomplish suffices you.

52. With resolve, like the freedom of yearning was released,
And passion, like an eagle startled from its nest was scared.

53. I saw you as a towering mountain peak for the caliph's seat,
A sword above its sheath that shortens lifetimes.

54. When distressful needs come to you, you judge them,
And if sorrows knock, the gap is closed by you.

55. An order called you for an affair that none but you
Can execute, and it deemed you carry out the command.

56. So you sent it from Babylon as if
You disturb a cat from under the saddles, purring.

57. It hit the mountains and ruins like tattooed patches -
It dresses them with snow and shoes them with boulders.

58. It remembers a pasture in Iraq and a watering place -
And does repeating recollection benefit the ardent?

59. When it loitered in a pass, it thought it
A place for crows seeking a den.

60. So they competed therein with meteors until they aspired
To adorn from them necklaces and finery.

61. With every minaret whose height the birds fall short of
And which the starlings do not find a way above.

62. And a towering mountain peak clad in snowy turban
As the color of white has visited the forelock's hair.

63. It is as if we peeled off it the skin of a mule
That covered its sides, back, and belly with fat.

64. The various types of weather resided in it to guide villages to you,
And did not suffice with water so they milked pearl.

65. They furnished the land for you with camphor of the sky
So it resembled it in color and opposed it in crust.

66. When the steeds were saved from it, I saw them
Adorned with no color mixed in, covered in dust.

67. And the distance of the journey separated them in their bodies
So it did away in them with half and left for them half.

68. And when the tethers of plateaus draped behind them
And the length of the leading intoxicated them.

69. It cast the neighing of delight from them with eyes
Looking from their corners with a glancing wink.

70. There called a caller whom the Hearer answered -
So you received when its features gathered soil.

71. They congratulate the blessed rising auspiciously
And show utmost reverence to their greatest in rank.

72. You did not see the Lord of the Crown raise his veils
And banish what you have whispered to Him of misguidance and arrogance.

73. You conversed with Him until you have fascinated His heart -
Beware, perhaps rhetoric itself is magic!

74. He saw in you what he loves of glory and happiness
Thus you were none but foremost in his gatherings.

75. It suffices you pride that you marched a departure
And accomplished the ends of prophethood from Ctesiphon.

76. A King whom the Merciful has protected the egg of his dominion -
Thus none in existence can break it.

77. His regiments are armored with openings for conquests
In every east and west, victorious.

78. The systemization of the Kingdom sufficed the greatest ambition
And busied his counsel of hidden and public.
