1. There is no rest but from toil,
And high rank is not attained by hopes.

2. The task of grand ambitions is cut
Only by firmness and travel.

3. Glory refused to be attained without
Effort, so let the minds of men wake up.

4. God made the love of one who dwells in glory
My fortune among all deeds.

5. Why does my heart keep fluctuating?
It does not listen to the blaming of slanderers.

6. If we had surrendered to any but you
Or allowed others to question,

7. We would have asked how the beds are or how
Fantasies would be and the longing of imagination.

8. Will youthfulness return to me
When my glory was among the singing girls and my money?

9. Do not forget, O black poetry, my era
And do not grow weary of my company.

10. If you have avoided intimacy out of love
Then our connection was not without weariness.

11. Or if you turned away wrongfully, turning away
Is part of the beginnings of boredom.

12. By my life, I thought you were guiding me to love
How could I have a guide to love?

13. I did not part from you out of desire away from you
Not every separation is due to burden.

14. The rule of the President Abu Al-Rayyan
Separated the right path from misguidance.

15. People cannot thank your hands enough
By sacrificing their souls and money.

16. These hearts have united in loving you
Since you took office, O best ruler.

17. You were like rain to them, leaving
The barren land from the dry soil fertile.

18. Teeth shine spreading praise and hands
Were raised with prayer and supplication.

19. They have hoped in you what a hopeful person hopes for
In lasting good fortune concurring with the new crescent moon.

20. Every day comes with your preoccupied face
And passes without changing if it passes.

21. An eternal honor passed down by days
From your long glorious path.

22. The enemies sought your efforts but did not succeed
Except in weakness and weariness.

23. They desired but God argued for you
And gave you the best hopes.

24. Success took charge for you and enriched you
With His planning from scheming.

25. They wasted the blessings God protected you with
And overvalued every assassination.

26. They wanted to threaten and ridicule you
But you disabled them while your heel was high.

27. There is a difference between them and you
Like the difference between a youth's talk and his actions.

28. The state's wounds which you cured recovered
And you followed its illness and cured

29. The most calloused of its chronic disease.
You connected until you restored its former awe

30. And made its color shine with polish.
The stars of happiness and victory arose

31. And the signs of favor appeared.
This requires that the other

32. Carry its harvest away from the threshing floor.
The like of what you obtained with humility and softness

33. Upon the seekers of the difficult to attain.
The father of Ali raised Ulya, a father

34. Who was not pleased with morals other than the highest.
The blade of iron shook him, it does not

35. Distinguish between bones and joints.
Independent in what he carries of the burden

36. Of portages and heavy adversities.
And he saw in him, while he was a young boy,

37. What lions see in their cubs.
Boldness in tranquility, dignity in shyness,

38. And awe in beauty.
And qualities like soft water on stone

39. And the north wind blew gently upon him.
May God preserve what He has continued

40. To preserve your two selves from destinies.
